New toys are a dangerous thing to an artist and there is no such thing as too much of a good thing!! I got my new Gelli plates a few days ago and I have been playing ever since. I have been making lots of new papers trying everything from rice paper to copy paper. I have also been experimenting with lots of different textures, design and next is lifting magazine photos.
I can justify all this because A. I have lots of papers from rice, tissue, cotton and copy B. I need these papers for my collages and I know I can squeeze them in with my reams of other papers which I have for my collages C. I have lots of unused acrylic paint and..... D. I wanted the darn Gelli's.
There are lots and lots of YouTube videos out there to help you with anything you might want to do or try. They are a lot of fun and the results are always interesting if not beautiful.
