Another 3 prints today. These are multi-layers of acrylics and Pan Pastel on the Gelli® plate.

100 Days Project - 60/100


I've added lots of hand stitch to my felted and printed fabric piece. It's now been made into a sketchbook cover. Have a look at this post for a tutorial on how to sew your fabric into a cover or come along to Contemporary Quilt Group in July where I will be demonstrating in person.




100 Days Project - 59/100


I couldn't resist doing just a few more Gelli® mono-prints on fabric. The pile of fabric ready to sew is growing enormous!

100 Days Project - 58/100


I'm loving these Gelli® mono-prints on fabric. I've cut myself some new Dura-lar stencils of vases to use in this project. The patterns are made with foam blocks.

100 Days Project - 57/100


I'm experimenting with layered Gelli® mono-prints on fabric. These have several layers of acrylic paint and Pan Pastel. They change the hand of the fabric quite a bit but the thicker layers give a crisper print. I'll sew into them soon.

100 Days Project - 56/100


I've been machine stitching into this felt, printed, piece using more variegated, rayon threads. It's almost ready to be made into a book cover; perhaps some hand stitching first?

100 Days Project - 55/100


I had an enforced break from the 100 days project due to back pain. Feeling much better today I started sewing into this print. The print is on fine grease-proof paper so I have mounted it on interfacing so it doesn't tear.  This is just the beginning, I'll add more layers later.
