Op de AS beurs in Zeist heb ik een gelli plate gekocht. Natuurlijk moest ik er direct mee aan het werk. Op diverse filmpjes op You Tube zag ik mensen met STAPELS monoprints, waar ze niets mee doen. Ik heb mezelf gedwongen ook iets te maken met de prints die ik maakte, want ik wilde geen stapels ongebruikte monoprints in de kast. Dit zijn kaartjes met mijn eerste monoprints, het idee met het silhouet zag ik opYou Tube:
At the Art Specially show in Zeist I bought a gelli plate. Of course I had to work with it straight away. On various films on You Tube I saw people with LOADS of monoprints, without using them. I forced myself to use mine, because I did not want loads of unused prints in my drawers. These are cards I made with my first monoprints, I got the idea with the silhouette from You Tube:
After the printing I masked the silhoutte, stamped the background with bubblewrap in white paint and created a shadow around the figure with black ink and a sponge. The text stamp is an entry gift from the Art Specially show.
I had lots of fun, and even my doughter had a go. When her project is finished, I will show it on my blog.
These are a few of my first prints, made on A4 copier paper, made with my gelli plate, acrylic paint, a picture from a magazine ( If you don't know her: she is a dutch singer and member of The Voice jury, Angela Groothuizen) and a few other tools.
Binnenkort laat ik meer monoprint projecten zien.
More monoprint projects to come. Thanks for looking.
Groetjes, Ellen
