Gardening, kind of.
I’m loving what I achieved in my studio yesterday. I walked into the room this morning and was immediately inspired by the sense of having more space. I went out in the garden today and selected some leaves from what some people might consider weeds, but I consider garden friends, and used them to make…

Gel Print Texture
A parade of gel prints today, all of which are making me happy. I have been very good today and actually used some of my handmade collage fodder for a textured background. I have been making a lot of collage fodder, then just admiring it but not using it, so it felt good to stick…

Not My Mess
If you’ve been following along you will know that there is no greater expert at interfering with my daily art practice than yours truly. Even if I always manage to somehow maintain my daily art practice, there are days when procrastination gets right in the way of it all, and that’s on me. It’s frustrating,…

Friday Four
The figure painting top left is on an 8×8″ canvas, and is a work-in-progress. The other three images are 12×14″ gel prints. I am still being scraped on here, so I am changing the way I share images just now. I don’t think I should have to, but sharing freely on here shouldn’t mean my…

Scrape Away
Some of my favourite gel prints from recent sessions using my gel plates to make collage fodder. Yes, they’re unceremoniously watermarked. I’m trying to find a way to make peace with the mass scraping and downloading of my art going on, but it just feels really fucking shitty. Painting was done today, for the streak…

Gel Plate Joy
I added another canvas to my pile today, and I put in an order for another thirty little canvases, so the 100 Day Project continues. I wanted to share this magical pull from my Gelelf gel plate, tho, because I’m completely obsessed with it. This is just a corner of the print, which is much…

Big Gel Joy
It’s Day 27 of the 100 Day Project, and I have 29 mini canvases with paint on. Today I pulled this one from the pile to bring it on a bit from the very scratchy sketch that was there. I started building the values and it’s looking a lot better than it was. I’ve also…

Testing Ideas
An experiment in progress, that may look like a failure, but I haven’t finished, yet, so we’ll see. I’m enamoured with the image transfer process of charcoal and pastel drawings using a gel plate, so I have tried it out with pan pastels. These adhere to the paper in a different way to soft pastels…

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…

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…
