Gelli Plate Papers
Hello friends! One of my girlfriends and I get together twice a month to play–most of the time it is with our gelliplate. These are two samples of what I created using acrylic paints and stencils.
I’m quite pleased with how I am coming along with the Gelliplate. I love to use a variety of acrylic paints such as regular acrylic, Golden brand, Color Shift, Izink Ice.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a nice day!

I have some exciting news to share!
I’m working on having a brand new blog up in February. I’m hoping for the 1st
In the meantime, intermittently, I will have cards to share with you so you don’t forget who I am
Gelliplate Fun
Hello folks! How is your weekend going? When Carol and I get together, it’s our time to play and experiment. We love to experiment using our gelliplate, as I’ve said many times. Today I’m going to showcase a few pieces that I’m very happy with. Mind you, it takes a lot of “pulls” before I achieve something I really like. This is an example of a pull that I’m loving.
These are examples of “pulls” that used acrylic paint, IZINK ICE glaze finish, acrylic metallic paint, and Color Shift acrylic paint.
TIP
Do not clean off all of the left-behind paint on your Gelliplate. It makes for intriguing backgrounds. When you reach the point where you want to clean off the Gelliplate, the paint that works well is from Michael’s. It is “Artist Loft” Professional Level 3, in the colour parchment.
This is not a Gelliplate background, rather a background using a straw, soapy water and cardstock. Watercolour paper can be used too.
Have you played with the Gelliplate? Any tips you would like to share with me?
Thank you for stopping by!
Masculine Congratulations
Hello friends! Some of you might know that I am in love with everything nautical/ocean related. I immediately fell in love with this ALLandcreate stamp.
How’s your weekend going? I had Saturday off and picked up Sunday in overtime at work. On Saturday I went to my first “art in the park” since Covid shut everything down. Everyone seemed to be in great spirits walking along looking at all the beautiful hand-crafted items. I purchased a beautiful mixed-media necklace which you can see here. What particularly attracted me to this artist’s Summer Sorbet Treasure Pendant was the mixed media. What appears to be coloured stone is actually pieces of wood carefully painted to resemble stone. This treasure will be worn alot, along with coordinating earrings.
My Son-in-law recently had a promotion and I wanted to send him a congratulations card.
My card uses, once again, Tina Zinck’s vellum background technique. Once the background was good and dry (it doesn’t take long), I turned the vellum over and heat embossed gold over top. Next, I finished my card off with making a pendent that says “Congratulations.”
Have a fantastic week!
A Flip Through my First Junk Journal
I had a lot of fun making my junk journal, and today I posted to the Technique Junkie blog
A Special Gift
My friend, Patti Gilliam, sent me this beautiful hand-made box set. I’ve told her that I admire her ability to be the queen of box-making, and lo and behold I received this today. Knowing I’m a lover of owls, Patti used a new SU paper, and just look at those colours and excellent tied ribbon skills (I’m ribbon challenged). The boxes coordinate with my mauve wall in my art room. Our friendship goes back years. Even before she joined the Technique Junkie Design Team. Want to know what’s inside?
A Pioneer Woman mug was in the large box, and a delicious-looking brownie mix that is made inside this cup. I’m a big Pioneer Woman lover too. Are you?

It’s no secret in my family that I love, love, love the Christmas season for the joy and peace that the season brings. My tree is set up on the second weekend of November and outdoor Christmas lights are turned on in the last week of November.
I love Christmas concerts, and have missed them for the previous two years of Covid restrictions. Earlier in the week Al and I attended The Barra MacNeil’s Christmas concert. It was a fun evening with toe tapping, clapping and singing. For those of you who are not familiar with this group, they are Cape Breton’s (Canada’s east coast) family of Gaelic singers and musicians. In case you’re interested I added a short 2 minute YouTube Christmas Concert clip from a show they put on two years ago.
