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!

Friday weirdness fix 🤪😂 Things have been a Friday weirdness fix 🤪😂

Things have been a bit quiet recently because I have been finishing off another huge unit for my textiles degree.

As I could have predicted, I got hideously behind and needed about 2 months when I only had a week!

Anyway, I managed to pull it out of the bag and got enough done and sorted out to hand in, and I only had a couple of minor meltdowns 👍

I went out for a walk in the snow, and I was struc I went out for a walk in the snow, and I was struck by how the winter sunlight made the trees look coppery, and how lovely the copperiness was against the blue sky. 

I do think noticing is enough. It's not always necessary to make or do something, especially if it feels more like proving that you saw it rather than wanting to.

There are some ideas cooking away in my head for things I might do, and having some ideas of colours already could be useful. So I made a colour scheme from the photo I took 🪾💙❄️
