For some reason unknown to even myself, I decided I wanted to do some feather mono prints through the week. And so I did.
I got out my gelli plate and the Golden Open Acrylics that work so well and wash out so well and had myself a little play.
It had been ages since I had done mono prints and I really enjoyed the ghost print results from the gelli plate - it does hold the impression so well.
And continuing with the coaster theme, A friend came over on Saturday and I introduced her to the joys of letterpress. She made some beautiful work and at the end of the day we quickly de-bossed some coasters - and I just love them.
So many ways to print...

I mean look at this detail...
So there are a bunch more cards to be made and some fun coasters to dot around the studio!

love your gelli print leaves, I have got good detail or so I thought until I studied yours, love the level of detail in the soft down bits of feather
ReplyDeleteThanks Irene! The feather detail is astonishing isn't it? Like you can touch them. I honestly think its the 'paint'/ 'ink' that does it. Go well.
DeleteBeautiful prints!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine - they were such a delight! I really enjoyed how swiftly they came into being, and how gorgeous they look. Go well.
DeleteAnd I just love them too. Nice work F.
ReplyDeleteThanks G - a bit of fun and frivol!!
Delete(((Fiona))) those feather prints are magic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mo - they are such a true likeness aren't they (except of course for blue) but such fun and so rewarding. Go well.
DeleteBeautiful prints. Lovely work Fiona.
ReplyDeleteThey are so lovely aren't they Lyndell? Lots of possibilities and maybe backgrounds for words if they were a lighter colour...go well.
Deletethe feathers are crazy-wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love that V!! Crazy-Wonderful pretty much sums them up! Go well.
DeleteBeautiful soft and delicate looking feather, jelly printing is very relaxing and not too messy.
ReplyDeleteFiona what paper did you use to make your coasters ?
Have a lovely Christmas and New Year.

You are right on all counts Aileen - the clean up is minimal! I used beermat for the coasters. It comes in sheets and I trim it down to 9cm squares, then trim the corners a bit too. https://www.ballanddoggett.com.au/brands/beer-matt-board/ Go well!
