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…

Pulling
Today I got a wee parcel with two gel plates from a brand I haven’t tried before, so that was a nice way to get back into the studio and mess about with paints. I’ll have to give them a few sessions before I can decide whether they are like for like, or an improvement,…

New Art Materials and Hares
Late last night I had an idea which I immediately acted upon. I used my phone to resize one of my large hare wips and printed it, then using charcoal I made a transfer for my gel plate. I transferred it onto a small card, and I will see where it goes from there. It’s…

Six In One
Yesterday I used a background that had been done quite a while back as the substrate from my painting. Late in the evening I pulled a few more bits and pieces from my rack of part-done work to see if anything else called to me to be finished. One of things I pulled out was…

On The Gel Plate
Playing with charcoal transfers of the weird face I made the other day. This one is still on the gel plate with the layer drying before I try pulling it. Til the morn, Suzanne 182/200

Sketch Gel Plate Transfer
Today was a play day which involved lots of little creative bits and pieces getting done in five different sketchbooks and journals. I had a lot of fun chilling and pulling out random materials with no focus on a finished Thing, just play. I have this old, old A4 spiral sketchbook that I really want…

Printing Paraphernalia
100 Day Project Day 78 My mixed media girl is drowning in layers today, which is lots of fun, but she’s currently in a soggy almost out of ugly stage, and every photo I try to take has weird glare, so there’s no photo update on her. I got one of my gel plates out…
