GELLI PRINTING WITH FRIENDS

 My passion for gelli printing has rubbed off....two pals recently purchased plates so we had a little instruction play date.  Both created successful prints (on fabric....we after all are quilters!!) 

I suggested working with foliage in addition to having fun with texture materials. Printable leaf options around our home with only 2 year old plantings was slim. Thankfully both friends brought great options. See some of our results below.





Love how the lace was used to print over Elvis fabric.

These two were created by printing twice....once with foliage and second as a ghost print.

Leaves on painted background in preparation to print on fabric.

Top two pieces were mono printed on felted wool, blue piece below them was ice-dyed felted wool that was overprinted using the gelli plate.  Remaining were gelli printed cottons.

Those look pretty good! I never have good luck with gelli printing...maybe I need to practice more! Wouldn't we have fun if we ever lived close to each other!
