Fun With the Gelli Plate
August 6, 2015
This week I decided it was time to create some new collage papers, with the gelli plate as part of my plan. It was a fun morning in the studio, and some interesting collages resulted.
In between collage sessions, I always try to do some work on the panels that I’m getting ready for the gallery. I will add some paint strokes or texture and then they have to dry between coats, giving me time to work on collage.
Waiting is the hardest part of painting. I still tend to want instant gratification, which is possible with collage. Combining the two activities is a good way of working.
Here is one of the finished paintings.
Haiku 113 – Acrylic on cradled panel, 8x8x2 inches

love the textures on the collage papers
Thank you, Jacqui.
Really love this last piece, always enjoy seeing what you are working on!
Thanks so much, Karen. I’m happy you liked that one.
The Haiku is a beautiful, pensive, work of art.
Thank you so much, Patricia.
Every one of your art pieces is a winner.
Thanks, Pat. I needed that. 😉
I love that last plate especially too! I’ve been experimenting with the roller straight on my art journal and the canvas, which has also been fun. Thanks for he inspiration!
Thanks, Amy. I love the beautiful effects from a brayer or a roller. I have done the same thing at times — just applied it straight to the canvas with fun results.
