So, today I set up in the sun room for printmaking. I walked inside for just a minute and Molly (my cat) decided I needed a studio assistant. She was so curious, sniffing everything and batting at the the tubes of paint. I have a feather I like to use in my prints and she found it immediately and started playing with it.
Today I was just getting reacquainted with gelli (gelatin) printing. It has a been a little bit since I have explored the medium. I used stencils, some I made and others I had from previous art endeavors. Old photos are great to use as stencil paper, it is durable and up for the reuse.
Earlier this week I picked up several Priority Mail stickers from the post office. These will make for excellent smaller prints and could serve as additional layers to other prints. I also printed on mailing envelopes, that I will eventually send off through the mail.
After a few hours working and experimenting my assistant decided it was time to clean up. I will put it away for tonight and look at all the work with fresh eye tomorrow.
Love your theme and how you printed on envelopes!
