The Nod Makerie at Camp Wandawega – How to Jelli Print

At our Camp Wandawega Makerie, you could only attend 3 of the 4 weekend classes, and, seriously, this is not fair – there is no way to choose!  Because I’m such a pain and because I love Ashley, we got a little private gelli-printing workshop during the lunch break of the first day.

If you’ve never gelli-printed you are totally missing out.  This is messy good fun and you end up with loveliest, most unexpected, designs.  Seriously, run to your nearest craft store and buy a gelli-plate, roller, and acrylic paint – you’ll be hooked!

So anyway Everett, Emily and I got to spend our lunch hour with Ashley rolling out gelli’s.  It’s so easy, you put acrylic paint on the plate, roll it out consistently and press and remove your paper, voila!  You can also use stencils to create patterns and then you can cut them into garlands and decorations and make anything imaginable.

It’s also a fun thing to do in a little art journal, but nothing beats having Ashley Goldberg as your teacher.  She has the best colors, has a no rules approach to crafting, and she’s really just hilarious.  Thanks Ashley for letting us make some art!
