Gelli print fabric cards

I got out my gelli plate last week to play and ended up with a stack full of fabric. If you are not familiar with gelli plate or gelatin printing, check out my posts on this technique HERE.

The old sewing desk my Elna is sitting on is one I bought at our local thrift store. I was working there last week and I saw it. For $5 I just couldn’t pass it up. Now I have all three machines out and ready for me. Of course, I always have to have a glass of Dave’s great ice tea near me when I’m playing!

And here are two gelli print fabric cards. I am using ProChem Textile paints for this project.

That was fun and a great way to use up all of those pieces. I’m sure there will be more to come. As I was playing with them, I thought they would also make some great collages. Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday.
