Retired librarian in Birmingham AL. I like to knit, sew, play mahjong, play with paint, and hang out.
I haven’t been up to much art lately because 2 new grandbabies arrived about 6 weeks apart. I hope to get back to it soon. Here’s the last project next I finished and the babies’ first FaceTime!

Recently,I got to thinking about my teenage bedroom. It was the early 1970s. I had wide, wavy, bright yellow stripes painted on the ceiling that flowed all the way down the walls. My bedspread and curtains were zebra stripes. It was “mod”! I’ve been LOL all morning over this 😆 #gelprint

I collected oak catkins and blister packs from allergy meds to use as texture for these prints. I figured I might as well use what is in abundance right now. BTW, the catkins leave little bits stuck to everything. #gelprint #art

Apparently my new hobby of painting postcards puts me at the vanguard of a new art movement. This cracks me up. 😂

The house painting is finished and I can get back to my little arts and crafts corner. New postcards are ready. I will mail out postcards as long as we still have a post office. #gelprint #gelplateprinting #art

My husband is a weaver. After a year on the loom, he took this off today! He says “The design is based on a labyrinth from Pompeii, the colors are inspired by Santa Fe and by Frank Stella, and the corners by Frank Lloyd Wright.” #art #craft #weaving

The interior of my house is getting painted next week so I’m having to move everything in the room where I do my gel prints. I just uncovered the #zentangles I made during the bad pandemic times. Each little square is about 3 in (8 cm) across. I should try it again; it was fun. #art

More attempts at image transfers. #gelprint

I’ve got a new batch of gel print postcards. I cut out random shapes for masks and did 4 layers of color. #gelprint #art

I want to thank all of the artists who post images of their work. It’s such a joy to open the app and scroll through so much beauty.

I watched a tutorial on making your own masks and using them for layers. What fun! On the right is the 4 layer print. On the left is the ghost print once the final layer was done. #gelprint #art

Large bubble wrap makes an impression that reminds me of jellyfish. #gelprint #art

Wow. Eyelash yarn makes really cool prints. Too bad it leaves lashes stuck to the brayer, the plate, and the paper. #art #gelprint

Yesterday I bought 4 new tubes of paint in colors I didn’t already have. Today I’m just messing around with them. I get the feeling that buying paint and supplies for art is a lot like buying yarn and tools for knitting. I have loads of yarn and knitting tools. Yikes! #art #gelprint

I’ve started a project where I use gel plate printing on postcards and then mail them out to friends and family. It’s fun! People like getting mail. #art #artshare #gelplateprinting

One of the things that can be done with gel plate printing is image transfer from magazine pages. It is tricky. This is my best attempt so far. I added a pink background with texture. #gelplateprinting #art

I’m having fun playing with textures as well as colors. Just about anything can be used to make an impression in the paint. Here I used an egg carton for one and a paper towel for the other. #gelplateprinting #art #beginner

Greetings! I am a retiree with no art education who has recently taken up an artistic pursuit -gel plate printing. It’s a way to create with paint that doesn’t require anything except curiosity and playfulness. I plan on sharing my attempts as I learn. Here’s an example. #art #gelplateprinting
