Today we used a gelliplate for printing and had some interesting results.
The technique is similar to monoprinting on glass sheets favoured by artists such as Tracy Emin. You get a ‘reverse ‘ print.
We used water based printing inks from hobbycraft rather than acrylics which tend to dry too quickly. We made several prints with a variety of paper cut outs as well as bubble wrap and textured ribbon for effects. Pleasing results.
Handy tip – use a spray bottle and wipes between colour changes.

Embellish and Create was born because we wanted to produce a family lifestyle blog that was just a little bit different.
It documents ideas, activities, experiences and pastimes that enrich and embellish our own lives. It also helps to create and capture new positive family experiences.
The blog helps us document what we like, what we’ve been up to and what we think about a whole range of creative and lifestyle issues.
Creativity – like all good things – starts at home. Simple every day experiences can become the spark that creates something new and positive.
We try to make the most of life. We embellish on what we’ve got and create something new. Hopefully this blog will allow others to share in our experience.
Do share your thoughts, tips and advice with us.
