JUST START PLAYING!

This week Faber-Castell Gelatos™ arrived in my mail. I had heard so much about these amazing creamy water-soluble pigments that I had to have some in my toolbox of supplies. Now that I have them what do I do.

PLAY ~ EXPERIMENT ~ HAVE FUN

My wonderful mail included Neutral, Reds and Metallic Gelatos™. Also Love Birds and Time Travel templates, Loralie Designs Dressform stamp set and a few more items.

In my art journal I scribbled the page with Gelatos™ Chocolate, Peach and Butterscotch, then brushed lightly with water to blend. I LOVE the texture I got on the paper I was using. To speed drying I used a heat gun.

Next using the Time Travel stencil and Gelatos™ Earl Grey I spread the Gelatos™ with my finger into the stencil of the large clock face.

Then using the Love Birds stencil and Gelatos™ Red Cherry and Guava spread the Gelatos™ with my finger over one of the birds (Chocolate on the branch portion of the stencil).

I wanted to see how stamping would look on the Gelatos™! I randomly stamped using stamps from the Loralie Designs Dressform stamp set. I had fun playing, I can't wait to try the Gelatos™ on other types of paper and a canvas. I will be using Gelatos™ to make backgrounds for cards and other projects!

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!
