New Texture Tool!

I had fun today trying out my new Gelli plate! Sure beats making my own gelatin. Have you wondered about monoprinting? Here’s a quick video demonstration from their site. Here’ I’ve used textures from the Gelli plate to form the basis for one of my daily collages. And I’m thinking next about textures for holiday…
