tip and an update

I don’t know about you, but I have been completely obsessed with trying to get a good gelli plate print from a magazine.

I see others get fabulous prints and I am like what the heck?! I had tried several magazines that I had in the studio (mostly fashion mags)

that I use for collage, and none of them had worked….. but, as I kept searching for answers about this- I found one helpful hint….

that the page needed to be a shiny. Shiny you say…… so I went searching in my studio for a shinier magazine and found a copy of GQ.

IT WORKED!!

The image above is from my GQ magazine. Now- you are probably looking and thinking- well that kinda looks terrible; but it is really my plate.

My plate is full of grunge and left over paint that didn’t get pulled the last million times. But if you haven’t heard I am into grunge so I was okay with the results.

So- either get a GQ magazine so you can try, or look again in your studio for magazine with shiny pages; and if you find another magazine that looks- let this girl know will you?!

This group of artist met last night talking through details….. and I am here to tell you…. because you get my newsletter and blog updates- you, my dear, will be the first to know. But we are cooking up such good stuff!!! The line up of book makers is incredible to start:

  • Andrea Chebelue

  • Wendy Solganic

  • Tiffany Goff

  • DeeDee Catron

  • and then myself

Ali will be the first up to host her class in February with registration sign up coming very soon. Not sure you have everything for the class- don’t worry we will have limited number of “full monty” kits with everything down to kits that only may have any specialty items needed. More information will be coming very soon- but trust me when I say, you are going to want to hear this.

Stay tuned!
