Happy Mother’s Day!

I’m finalizing my reorganization of my craft room today.  It has been a real work in progress and I’m thrilled that it’s as organized as it is today.  Once the room is completely clean and organized, I’ll be ready to work on the gelli prints.  I think I’ve been honest about my uncertainty in using a gelli plate and my obsessive need to have a purpose for the things I produce.  In this case I’m not sure about the  uses of gelli prints and hope once I produce them, an idea will spring to mind.  I know I’m going to use my art journal for them. I am going to begin by using magazine paper and computer paper so if the prints are horrible (which I’m assuming first prints probably are), that I won’t feel bad throwing them away.

I bought contact paper yesterday that looks like marble and thought I would cover a piece of poster board with it for my video background.  I’m not crazy about the bright pink cutting mat that I’ve used or the white paper either.  I’m hoping this will give it a more polished look.  I also bought a couple of very inexpensive photo frames that I’m going to use to produce my own recycled paper.  I’ve had a request for this and I’m looking forward to giving it a try.  If it’s a big fail, I have very little invested in the process, other than my time.
