Gel Prints to create Home Decor

A great way to use up your Gel Prints is to use them to create coordinating home décor items.   I have used them in the past to cover and dress up wooden boxes and today I am using one from a recent print session I shared with you to dress up some plain photo frames. My frames I had purchased some time ago in a pack of 3 for around $5.00.  I started by removing the back of the frames and the glass insert and gave the frames a light sand with a fine sand paper. These frames fit a 4 x 6 inch or 10 x 15cm photo.  A 8 x 10 inch Gel Press Plate Print will give you enough to cover two frames.  I cut my print into half and again putting this aside proceeded to give the frames a couple of coats of black paint with my priority being to cover the outside edge and inside edge the top side the frame would be covered with the print. I then added a layer of glue to the topside of the frame and stuck this down onto the back of the print I had cut in half....

Impressive Chipboard Technique

A niggling idea would not go away..."could I impregnate muslin strips with paperclay and use chipboard to leave an impression"? I had to find out: Yay! It did work and the results were highly satisfying. I'm going to share the simple steps for a great impression and a piece that can be used as a tag or  incorporated in mixed media work. Here are the supplies: Chipboard Elements    Paperclay    Inks and Sprays    Gelatos    Metallic Rub-ons   Muslin Strips Here is what I used:   I placed a thick chunk of paperclay over the chipboard element. Then I played the muslin strips, left over from another project, on top of the paperclay. Pressing down to push the paperclay into the fabric. Let dry over night. Peel away the chipboard and save it for another project. Admire the impression. Another look at the handiwork: Inks will soak into the paperclay and the muslin. Let dry before adding Ge...
