Tiny Landscapes
Yesterday a 2″ circle punch arrived. I was totally confused. Apparently I ordered it in January, and I had completely forgotten about it. It’s now back in stock, apparently. I had been using one of my gel plates as a palette, so I pulled what was on there, and it wasn’t exactly inspiring. The surprise…

Gel Printing on Fabric Tips
Sheelagh asked in the comments about gel printing on fabric, and there are various ways to do it, there are probably more ways to do it than I have listed here, such is the versatility and beauty of gel printing. First, it depends on what you want to do with the fabric you are printing…

From Sketchbook To Gel Print Via Inkjet Printer
I had a little tidying and organising session today. I gathered together a bunch of things that I had stored in several different places and sorted them into groups of similar things. They are all things I have collected to use on the gel plates, but I never pull them out because they are in…

Image Transfer Transparencies Winners and Losers
I have been testing an inkjet image of this drawing which was printed on copy paper the same day I made prints using all the different papers. The test is simply spraying a small section of the print with water, and seeing what happens. The first test was the day the print was made, and…

More Gel Plate Inkjet Image Transfers
I carried on with this experiment today, and pulled the inkjet image transfer of my drawing onto some gel prints. I think the process is going to do what I want it to do, but still some testing to do, so these will have to hang to dry for a few days before I can…

Inkjet Image Transfers on the Gel Plate SUCCESS
While I am leaving the inkjet prints on various papers to dry for a few days, I decided to revisit another experiment I first wanted to try a few years ago. I can tell you it was a few years ago because I looked up the date I bought the freezer paper on the big…

Word of the Year
I can’t remember if I wrote about it here, or not, but I had been pondering my 2025 Word of the Year, and I came up with the phrase Take Up Space. I let that compost for a while to see if something else came up, or a different way of framing it arrived, but…

Daisy Pulls
It is a windy day today, and after walking a few miles in the wind, I was not enthralled with being in my studio room listening to the wind, which seems to be very loud in that room, and painting. I did spend some time in there, tho, doing a quick gel printing session. I…

Art Exhibition and Collage Fodder
I have had a great day today. I decided to use up the paint in the stay-wet palette leftover from my recent mixing exercise to make collage fodder. I pulled out a couple of small gel plates and got stuck in. I have to say it was the most fun because I finally have enough…

Mini Monoprints
I’m using a little 9x14cm Art Creation sketchbook with my 2×3″ gel plate. (yes, I’m bilingual as far as measurements go, never going to change). It started out as a project in the Things To Do When Creativity Seems Blocked – one of several tricks that I try to remember as good ways to get…

Today I watched a video showing the exploded remains of a journalist gathered into a shoebox, topped off with a piece of his scalp, and placed in a carrier bag. None of the people who could stop this want to stop it. 232/300

New Sketchbook Project
I didn’t have much time today as we went for a seven mile walk, which was beautiful and autumnal. I got another of the wee 9x14cm Art Creation sketchbooks specifically to use with my 3×5″ gel plate. Yes, one of those measurements is imperial and one is decimal and that’s how I roll. I used…
