    September Thoughts: Summer, Christmas, and Shiny Shoes

    September can feel like an in between kind of month. In early September, it’s usually like summer still. The new school term often seems to coincide with a heat wave, which is especially annoying if the weather during the summer holidays wasn’t very good! But once the schools…

    At the end of July, we went on holiday to Montenegro. To be completely honest now, when I agreed to it, I didn’t actually know where Montenegro was. I think I might got it mixed up with San Merino. The extent of my geographical knowledge is limited to…

    Using Limits To Our Advantage: Mixing Greens

    Recently I wrote a post about limits and limitations. The world we live in tells us that we don’t enough. We need more, better, newer. If there’s a problem, all we need to do is buy a thing and that will make it go away. There are so…

    Sometimes there are things that stand in the way of our dreams. We might feel that we don’t have enough time, or space, or stuff, or money to do all the things we want to do. More time could mean getting everything done, having time for hobbies, dreams…

    One of the things I like the most is the seasons changing. My favourite season is autumn, but it’s hard to choose! There are lovely things about each of them, and one of the nicest things is the seasons changing. It has a kind of bittersweetness to it,…

    July 12, 2024June 24, 2025 Blog, Nature and Seasons, Slowing Down

    Often, when the nice weather comes round again and the days are longer and warmer, we have an idea in our heads of what our summer days will be like. Not rushing, not feeling stressed, not sweating buckets as we dash from one thing to the next, but…

February is the doorway between winter and spring February is the doorway between winter and spring ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿค๐ŸŒฑโ„๏ธ

The days stay light a little bit longer. Twigs are tipped with buds, and the green swords if daffodils are cutting through the cold ground. Even when it is cold, there is sometimes a hint of spring in the air, and the promise of green things waiting.

February always seems like a green and white kind of month. Snowdrops, obviously, but also I'm surprised at how much green there is at the beginning of February. The lack of leaves make the greens of moss and lichen, and of evergreens, more noticeable. 

By the end of February, there'll be blossom, and maybe even a few leaves ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ฎ

So I gave in and got a gelli plate. I didn't befor So I gave in and got a gelli plate. I didn't before because I thought it was probably not the best idea to get myself into another thing that was  potentially addicting! But due to the kerfuffle in finishing the next unit of my textiles degree, I missed the deadline to start in February, so I start the next unit in March. And I still wanted to try it.

These are the best results from my first attempts. The first one is my favourite, which I made with a piece of hessian. The second one was also hessian, and the last 2 were bubble wrap. But even the ones that didn't turn out that well had interesting bits, and the others could probably be used for backgrounds or collage.

I'm going to carry on experimenting. If you've tried printing with a gelli plate and you have some suggestions, please let me know!
