I was playing around in my studio with ScotchBlue Painter's Tape and my gelli plate doing some monoprinting with an inexpensive muslin draw string bags.
 |
| 1. place ScotchBlue Painter's Tape on bag. I'm going for a kind of altered plaid |
 |
| 2. paint on your plate, I drew circles as the pattern. Print bag |
 |
| 3. Remove tape. |
 |
| 4. Add more tape. I used different widths of
ScotchBlue Painter's Tape. But of course, you could tear the tape or cut the tape into shapes |
 |
| 5. paint on your plate. Be conscious of how the colors you are using will mix together. I drew circles as the pattern. |
 |
| 6. print |
 |
| 7. Here it is printed before I've removed the tape |
 |
| 8. Add more tape, think about the areas you want to save, or mask off. Print again |
 |
| 9. Remove tape |
 |
| 10. Add more tape. Save some of the whites. |
 |
| 11. This time I'm printing with gold paint |
 |
| 12. I could stop right here, it looks pretty good. |

 |
| 14. I want to add a bit of darker color to my design |
 |
| Complete! |

| Crazy plaid monoprinted gift bag with ScotchBlue Painter's Tape |
I was just playing with this technique. I want to do more of this, on a larger piece of fabric, and then crop out my favorite parts of the design on the cloth and create a series of art quilts...Or, do it on artist canvas, crop my favorite parts and staple them to stretcher bars--ready to hang!
I'll keep you posted!

I love the results with this technique! I'm curious about what brand of fabric paint you're using? The colors are so luscious.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, love your tape plaid... have to play with my Gelli plate today for sure!
ReplyDeleteThis is VERY cool, thank you for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteLove this Jane-thanks so much for your tutorial! I now have another project to try out once I get one of those plates which hopefully will be soon!
ReplyDeleteI finally checked into these wonderous Gelli plates you keep writing about. Went to the GelliArts site and my brain just about exploded. Oh My!! - Wendee
ReplyDeleteLove this technique! I've been monoprinting the last few days and will try your technique. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this! Thanks for the tut!
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, why do you think the Gelli plate is better than using a larger piece of acrylic board.
ReplyDeleteand yes, would love to know what paints you are using, full strength?
love your blogs, hope you do a class up near Yosemite sometime.

wonderful Ideas! dontcha just love the gelli plate? Even better, the paint you pull off is painted really cool and you can use it to stick light items in your journal!
ReplyDeleteI will print with this when I can and admire the fun technique.
Biocolor from discount school supply. I like the softer, flexible surface of the geli plates... so fun!
