I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving day with family and friends! We spent time with our niece, nephew, and their families having a delicious meal and great company at our nephew's beautiful home. We were missing my father-in-law this year, which was sad, but we still have so much to be thankful for.
Anyway, these work-in-progress prints were made last weekend, using my 6" x 6" square gelli art plate, Golden Open Media acrylics, and some silk flowers on Speedball printmaking paper.
The photography isn't very good. Sorry about that! They are actually much prettier in reality. :)
Threw in a feather, ribbon, and lace from an old bra on this one!
This one has gold metallic paint included, although it doesn't show up!
Tried to do a magazine picture transfer in the lower left corner. It failed, but I will add something else there.
I also tried different filters on a couple of the prints, including b/w, in photo editing, which was fun.
Not much time for art this week, yet, but I'm not going Black Friday shopping, so I may do some art today. My nerves will not take crowded stores and lots of noise. :/
I hope the rest of your Thanksgiving weekend is amazing, and if you're braving the store sales, be careful! :)

Help! I Can't Stop Printing! More Gelli Prints! :D
G Open Media Acrylics, Speedball print paper, found objects, The more I make, the more ideas I have and the more I want to make! Most of these are works in progress, and four magazine transfer fails, which weren't complete failures...
Fun Stuff! Hope you all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving weekend! :)

More Gelli Plate Print Experiments
I had time this morning to make several prints, and I got carried away with experimenting, but it was such fun and soul food!
These are all made with my 6" x 6" gelli art plate and most of them are on Speedball printmaking paper, but a couple of them are on regular printer paper, because I ran out of the paper that I had torn to size. I buy the large paper packs, then cut/tear them into the size I need for whichever plate I'm using.
Most of the prints have multiple layers of Golden Open Media acrylics (because I'm turtle slow and need slow drying paint), and I used whatever was handy on my way too cluttered workspace for masks, stencils, etc, including a spray bottle with water. I tried a bottle of spray paint, but it clogged on me and kind of made a mess, but it's all good. I'll use it for something, or print over it.
The light glared on this one. The sky is actually bluer than this looks. :/
One of the messes with the brown spray paint, but I actually see two dogs laying down in the middle of the page in those blobs!
I love most of these so much! So many awesome ways to use them! Maybe some will even wind up as jewelry! :D
