What Would that New Stencil or Mask Look Like?
Below: This new background for an art journal page
background started with a solid, dark-blue print made on a Gelli Plate.
After the first paint layer had dried on the paper, I used a brayer to spread Titanium White acrylic paint over the Gelli plate.
Next,
I pressed the masks
Palm Fronds Silhouette Small
(6 X 6") and
Palm Fronds Silhouette Mini
(4 x 4") atop the plate, then lifted them off; this left5 their imprints in the white top layer of paint on the plate.
My next-to-last step in creating this background page was to pull a print using the dark blue paper. And the very last was to glue it into my art journal, ready for further development.
On a different day, I started a new painting with
Palm Fronds Silhouette Small
(6 X 6") and its imprint below (in paint-stained modeling paste) is a close-up of that still-in-progress artwork:
On yet another day, after using the Gelli Plate to make new prints with these two masks, I came away with some papers that I decided to cut up and use on a collage. Below, the central image (lower right) was printed with
Palm Fronds Silhouette Small
(6 X 6"); and
Palm Fronds Silhouette Mini
(4 x 4") was used in making the subtle prints on blue paper that appear in the upper right and lower left:
It was right around this time that I started to wonder, "Since I get so much fun out of pairing up
Palm Fronds Silhouette Small
(6 X 6") and
Palm Fronds Silhouette Mini
(4 x 4"), why don't I try designing a 9" x 12" version?
What would that look like?
