Gelli Pulls at Jump and a Surprise

 Last month I attended an art class in Massachusetts - 

Jump Into January!

The above image came about while we were playing

with gelli plates, making various pulls with several color layers.

On my plate I had several layers of greens, blues, and yellows.

I placed a stencil of the face (Stencil Girl product) on top of the rolled colors, placed a sheet of paper on top of the stencil, and brayered back and forth several times. 

I lifted the page and had this great print of the girl's face.

Once that was dry, I rolled out a layer of magenta right on top of the remaining color on the plate.

I placed a starburst stencil near the top of the plate, 

then placed the paper with the girl's face - 

face down so the starburst would be near the top of her head. 

I brayered over just the top section.

When I lifted the paper from the gelli plate,

the image you see above is what I got. 

I have no idea what I will do with it.

Other than admire it.

Hahaha!

I thought that was pretty cool!

But I needed to clean up the stencils in case someone else in the class wanted to use them.

I used a baby wipe to clean the girl's face stencil on top of a paper towel. 

I didn't expect this to happen -

but -

when I removed the nice clean stencil,

I had this face on the paper towel.

Never one to waste an opportunity, I repeated the

cleaning process with the starburst stencil. 

I really like the paper towel art I got!

So much that I brought it home,

trimmed the edges and put it in a journal.

Love it!

Now I just need to make some more.

Hahaha!

I must have stencils to clean somewhere!
