....after being completely pooped when I came back from the far east....
...and just simply tired after Fashion, Embroidery & Stitch.....
...I seem to have fallen into mt creative groove and, fortunately, with loads of energy!!
I had my two lovely friends here for the day last Friday, and we had a delightful "play day" with my box of new print blocks from Colouricious.....
...AND a brand new Gelli Plate which I absolutely Loooooooooooooooove!!!!
Here are some page-spreads that I printed for my new series of tri-fold books...
...which I'm calling "Rock Stories".
These fabrics and papers have firstly been printed all over with the Gelli Plate....
....I used a piece of my doubled Landscape Tissue to lift paint off the plate leaving a scrunched texture behind which then transferred onto the fabric/paper surface...
Then I used the print blocks on top when the backgrounds had dried (didn't take very long!)
After I'd prep'd the tri-fold I decided to do a bit of detailed work on one of the centre pages....
......so got out a very fine mapping pen and some Herbin ink.....
.....and dotted-in this character.
It took a little time, but I think it was worth it!
The book is now sitting on the radiator to dry the glue on the folds.....
I'll get back to it later....
,,,after a nice cup of tea! :-)
