Batty Good Bookmark



I love to read and during the Halloween season I read as many "spooky" books as I can.  Every year I create a new bookmark to use for the season and thought it would be fun to use one of the collage sheets from Altered Pages for this year's.  It's been a while since I used my Gelli plate so I got it out and found my bottle of black paint to create the background.   When Jean sent me the Black or White Cat collage sheet (2180) I knew I wanted to add some of it to a tag as a cut out to create my bookmark so I chose the girl on the broomstick to be the focal point of my creation and then added the 3 bats from the collage sheet to add some more spookiness.   This is how it turned out.  I'm already excited to use it this Halloween season to hold my place in my book.   If you like to read, as I do, be sure to take the time to create a bookmark to enjoy as you are reading your favorite book be it this Halloween season or all year long!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
