Monoprinting - my new (good) addiction...


I had so much fun doing some (more-than-100-pages) monoprints in two sessions, on Monday and Tuesday!
It was so much fun.
I made some more yesterday, trying out some other types of paints/inks. I
must say, I like working with acrylic paint (and water!) most!

NOTE - These are all real monoprints, printed once, not a lot of layers...

My "workdesk" in the kitchen.
The gelatine plate turned green already after the first session.


 








 Stencils on the wall.... hehe

So messy, but so much fun.
TIP - before you start - see to it that you have everything you need ready.

I am entering this in the challenge on
1. Smon Says Stamp and show - something-messy- real messy!

  3. wow, dit is allemaal maar 1x in de gelly plate gelegd met verf en een template? Wat ontzettend goed gelukt zeg!! Schitterend! Sommige achtergronden zijn gewoon al kaarten, een tekst erop en je hebt een prachtige kaart!

  13. Hello Ellie ~ It has been too long since I have come by for a visit ...

    what fun to see so much creativity, you have been busy!

    Love all of your flower creations
    and
    isn't monoprinting so much fun!
    The prints you pulled are each fantastic ... I have a homemade gelli plate that I boil about every 5-6 weeks to help keep it fresh ... it has been around since Sept 2012
    You reminded me that I need to play with it again ;)

    Wishing you and yours a lovely weekend!
