5 postcards, made 5 ways on the gel plate

#gelliplate #acrylicpainting #gelypostcardplay
5 postcards created on the gel plate using different techniques.
Hosted by ‪@CeriGriffiths‬ and supported by ‪@PMartistStudio‬ ‪@DarcysMixedMedia‬ ‪@EddieMakesArt‬ ‪@devonrex4‬ and many other wonderful channels.
Create a postcard a day throughout July using a gel printed element.
I aim to use a different technique for each postcard…although this could be difficult!!!!!
I used acrylic paper, gel plate, acrylic paint, brayers, paintbrushes and more.
I hope you enjoy.

[@quirkyqueens]

Miss Deb, I’m sorry I’m so late replying I’ve been messing about with paper pulp and, like gel printing, it’s a very deep rabbit hole… 😂❤️

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks Yolande 😁

No. 1 is my favourite. Well done, Kirsten! 👍

[@quirkyqueens]

Thanks Mara, I have been reading up a bit about masks recently. It’s very interesting 😁

[@kokoslores9666]

​@@quirkyqueens Yes, very interesting indeed. Did you know the celtics had mask brooches? I am interested in the celtic culture, it is mystical since there is not much to refer to. As far as I know there was a huge celtic stronghold close to where I live in Germany. Art is a fun way to learn about former cultures, isn't it. 🤗👩🏼‍🎨🎨

[@quirkyqueens]

I did not know this!!! I’m going to research. I was at walker museum in Liverpool a couple of weeks ago and they had a big section devoted to ancient masks from around the world. It was fascinating. Naturally I came home and ordered 4 books (very cheap) from eBay to find out more!!

[@kokoslores9666]

@@quirkyqueens Sounds like me! 🤣

[@artcuriousbymnw]

Love your postcards Kirsten, don’t worry, there is no postcard police, have fun❤

[@quirkyqueens]

Thanks myriam, I’m sorry I’m so late replying, I’ve been messing about with paper pulping and it’s just as much a rabbit hole as gel printing!!! ❤️

[@EddieMakesArt]

Hi Kirstin! You always make such unique pieces. I love them.

[@quirkyqueens]

Thanks Eduardo. I’m a bit out of practice cos I’ve been using the oils so much!! ❤️

[@EddieMakesArt]

@@quirkyqueens It doesn't show. And I love listening to you ❤

[@quirkyqueens]

@EddieMakesArt I want to sharpen my contrast up on the stencils. I’ve lost that a bit. And I love watching you ❤️

[@renig5059]

Love the way you go about them 😂

[@quirkyqueens]

Thanks Reni, sorry I’m so late replying. I very much appreciate got some ideas for the next 5. I really like this challenge. 😁

What a nice, clearly layed out project! Hello Kirsten, I love the face best, because I want to try making faces that are not so ... sweet as mine usually come out of the tidy part of my artistic character 🤣. Just had a look at Ceris´ channel too. So good to see the support an artistic group provides. Thanks a lot for sharing, Kirsten. Have a wonderful weekend. Xo Britta

[@quirkyqueens]

Aw Britta, thank you. I got your email!!! I’m sorry, I’ve not sent the parcel yet…it will be sent!!! I’ve still to send Darcy’s hers too…and it’s even longer!!! I’m awful, but it will be sent. 3 of my paintings were selected, I’m gonna do a post…but the big news is I entered 6 of my dads photos…and they were all picked!!! I’m a bit jealous 😂 Try using your non dominant hand or closing your eyes, that will stop you drawing tidily 😂❤️❤️❤️

[@brittahansen8688]

@@quirkyqueens Congratulation! That ´s simply wonderful (Both, your success and your dads 🥳) Without your initiative, he wouldn´t have succeded. You are a darling, Kirsten! 😘 Thanks for the hint with nondominant hand. And I will make all my art with closed eyes from now on. Will style up my home in a very interesting way . 🤣😂🤩

[@quirkyqueens]

@brittahansen8688 I just watched a French lady with her quirky home (Danielle jacqui), literally covered in beautiful abstract faces. Obviously I couldn’t understand a word, but that didn’t matter. That’s the goal you need to aim for 😂🤣😂❤️❤️❤️
