Playing with Gelli Arts

Hi ArtFoamies and Gelli Arts Fans!!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog 

to check out my creation using products from 

both of these AH~MAZING manufacturers.

Now, I have a bit of a disclaimer. Somehow my DT box got lost in its travels, so I had to punt! I'm sooo HAPPY I owned a
 8" Round Gelli Printing Plate to work with.

As my paint color selection was WIDE OPEN, I decided to create something for my dining room. Which was SOOOO EXCITING! You see I am living in a house with bare walls. YES bare walls. We just moved into our home in October. 

Next, was to chose the ArtFoamies I wanted to play with!

I grabbed a few, trying to have each one very DIFFERENT from the other.

Woman Power

Patio Tile

HexaGone

Foambinations

Script Heart Small

Leaf Geo

Lastly, what would I print on....
so I went on hunt and chose
a couple of Vintage Music Sheets
pages from a vintage McCalls magazine
a piece of white canvas
even a vintage paper bag

(I only ended up using the fabric,
can't wait to see what I do with the papers)

Then, I let the creative process begin!!
Now, I do have to say I am VERY NEW at the whole monoprinting process. So, this collaboration was a GREAT way
for me to try different things. 

Here are a few photos of my final creation,
which now hangs in my dining area.

...just a few BagTags!

Hello my Friends!!

Wanted to share some of my latest creations.

As I am still in the process of unpacking my studio.

WHAT A TASK this has been.

But in my unpacking I came across some unfinished tags....

SOOO...you know what that means!

BAGTAGS made with 'Tovers.
Can I just say.....I had atleast 3 boxes of 'Tovers.
(is that normal???)

Thanks BUNCHES for stoppin' by

to check out my BagTags!!

I hope I've inspired you to....

Be Creative!

I took a play day escape......

Hello Peeps.....

Thanks bunches for takin' the time to stop by!

I have to say....

....the last six months have been.....

So....today I decided to make my soul happy.....

The sun was shining and just to nice to waste.
I headed to one of my FAVORITE antique stores

Chris Curran Antiques in Bethlehem, NH.

It's my favorite because you have to look 

in EVERY nook and cranny

As I say....it's all about the HUNT!

......then I stumbled onto this box of Fabric Dye.

I remarked about the bottles and was told the story behind the bottles. They came from a "Shoe Fix It" shop. Mom and Pop type place.  You know....from BACK IN THE DAY....when you actually repaired the shoes you owned because it may be the ONLY pair you own! While listening to the story, I began looking through the wide array of colors and decided to pick a few.
After all, it was Fabric Dye....right down my alley. RIGHT!??!?

BONUS: The shopkeeper was nice enough to make sure all the bottles opened.

I was beginning to get a bit excited, you see, I had already stumbled upon a LARGE spool of thread...

So I knew what I needed to do.

Buy my goodies and head home to play!

So, I pulled off a few arms length of thread

and spritzed it with water.

Then, I sucked up a bit of the dye into a pipette

and dropped the color onto the thread.

LOOK at the yummie colors.

I had to take it a step further

and use a bit of the dyed thread on one of my ATC'S that I had laying around.

I used a bit of the orange, all bunched up, behind the flower

....and the green thread, to make a LOOPY Bow!

 They were the PERFECT accents for my Art Card!!

I wanted to leave you with one last find....

...and the radio was playing!

I hope you enjoyed my day of play day escape...

Once again.....THANK you for stopping by.
HOPE you have a CREATIVE DAY!

Fall Inspired Napkin Rings

I was inspired to create a Fall Tablescape.....so I did!

I typically make a pumpkin every fall but this year I've chosen to take it up a notch and make Napkin Rings and Coasters.

Watch how I created the "paper" using......

ArtFoamie Stamps,
Tattered Angels ~ High Impact Paints
The Crafter's Workshop ~ Modeling paste and 6x6 Stencil
Canvas Corp ~ papers
