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!

Supplies:
Gelatos™ Neutral
Black Ink


ORDER YOUR Gelatos™ and start playing!

 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.
