Gelli Printing in Week 17 ~ 52 Week Challenge ~ Literary Inspiration

[@SussexCoastStudio]

I am just binging on your videos and I can't get enough. Your art speaks directly to my soul, and the way you make meaning with images and text and those glorious neutral colours mixed with metallics- I'm in awe ❤

[@margaretcrosby3490]

I love your channel. I always expect the unexpected, and it’s wonderful! As a bibliophile, literary inspiration is right up my alley!

[@healingmagichands]

Robyn, I always watch your videos but I don't always comment. Today I have two things to say. First, thank you so much for revealing your thoughts and process to us. It is so courageous of you to bare your soul to us. The other thing is I think that Khalil Gibran is another source of beautiful literary inspiration that shares a lot of the mysticism of Khayyam and Rumi. Love you.

[@RobynMcClendon]

I do agree! Gibran is another of my absolute favorites Thx so much for being on this journey with me 🙏♥️

[@melindareynolds7867]

Interesting technique. Thank you for your teaching.

[@Kimkarlene]

I loved hearing about your family!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@lauriesherman5340]

Your work is so inspiring to me Robyn...it’s just what I needed today too...every video I love so....thank you!

[@dailydoseofpaper]

Rewatching this whole series and loving it so much. You are an amazing artist and a big inspiration to me (and probably many others)!💝🍀

[@marilynsandau4820]

Hi, Robyn, have you heard of the book The Humument. The whole book is this kind of blocking out words to make a story and there is art work to go along with it. The title comes from The Human Document, leaving out some of the letters. It is a really fun book!

[@RobynMcClendon]

No I’m not familiar with I’ll look it up Thx💕

[@marilynsandau4820]

@@RobynMcClendon I think you will love it!

[@margotevlo5509]

Learned new things. Thank you.

[@shirleymccullough2515]

Just so much Fun! !! Totally going to give this a go ‼️ Thanks a bunch Robyn 💖💖

[@MiriamPhields]

Another great video. Thank you for sharing your techniques and philosophy about creating. I can’t wait to try these out.

[@katmarj2937]

Great class Robyn! Can’t wait to work on these ideas in my journal. I also really appreciated the beginning review of last week’s lesson - both what you did visually in the journal, and the verbal explanation which clarified some things for me. This was a great beginning to the class to wrap up the previous week and then set the stage for this week’s lesson. Thanks so much!

[@RobynMcClendon]

I’m so glad that you liked that! I wasn’t certain how relevant it may have been but the teacher in me couldn’t help 😊♥️

[@gingersparks73]

Thank you Robin for another great week I look forward to working in my journal this week with all these fun Gelli plates tissues!

[@brigitteshantieaglemeare4350]

Great fun Robyn, loved it! See what I can find, literarywise. I couldn't care less about the exact pronunciation of foreign words, as long as we understand the meaning. That's just me

[@AntyPam4250]

Great inspiration and food for both thought and my creative table again this week. Thank you! 🤗❤️

[@lisamurphy5973]

Thank you for the inspiration today! Love the gelli printing!!😀

[@karmaleenash2841]

As a writer just now allowing herself to explore art, this project lit me up! You are such an amazing artist and teacher. I feel so honored to get to spend some time with you! 🤍🤍🤍

[@shelleynobleart]

I adore what you do and who you are. Your art, your multiple disciplines, your mind.

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thx Shelly xo✨💕

[@margotevlo5509]

Enjoyed 😉

[@amyrugala246]

Loved the video,, can’t wait to create new story and visualization on to page! Also just wanted to comment on expectations. I live my life now with no expectations. It allows me to be open to anything and everything. Life has become less disappointing and opened a whole new world of experiences.

[@dawnkarasaki6172]

OMG Robyn, I am also one of your followers that doesn’t comment often but want you to know how much I love all that you do. You are inspirational and inventive. Khalil Gibran, Rumi, and the Dalai Lama are my go to's. Just keep on doing what you do, I learn so very much from you. You are you, and so very unique in my world.❤️

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thx Dawn I really appreciate your words support and encouragement it means so much for me to know that you and others are connecting with what I love sharing 🙏♥️

[@831Miranda]

Dear Robyn! Don't apologize, or try to protect people from this wonderful experience 😂. I do have an expectation from your sessions and that is to learn and watch something fun, interesting and always esthetic!

[@GrandmaLaura2nd]

I love language also and find an interest in pronunciation when english is spoken by someone not born with it. Your story about how you made your own words delighted me and it sounds like your parents were very hands on with your exposure to other cultures. You have a richness and depth to you that money can not buy

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thank you Laura 🥰💫♥️

[@joanna.thornton]

Going to literature for inspiration is such an intriguing idea. I had never thought about it before. I’m anxious to get into my creative space and try it out. Brilliant, Robyn!

[@carolynrose8135]

Very interesting. I have dislexia and know i do not hear the rhythm of language. But this is a new approach for me to explore. Thank you

[@vivienneaxon3529]

As a 10yr old on holiday in the beach house my grandmother built with her own hands, I was sent to the bedroom for being naughty. Bored, I started poking through old drawers and I found original printed books of Kahlill Gibran's The Prophet and The Rubaiyat of Omar Khaiyam - given to my grandmother by my grandfather when they were courting. OMG! Loved today's session as right up my alley, so to speak. Thanks for all your teachings and sharing X

[@RobynMcClendon]

Wow! What a cool experience and memory to now have. Lots of creative inspiration in that story ♥️

[@Cheeseygirl26]

I had my coffee, and my supplies ready this time! I am always looking for ways to work out both sides of my brain... You nailed it, again! XO Robyn

[@RobynMcClendon]

You’re so very welcome and thank you for being on this journey with me♥️

[@Susancshell]

Great idea of using literature for inspiration. I too am a visual person and drum up images of every character and place as I read. I look forward to your videos each week. Love your work!

[@leapNTP411]

thank you for this review of what the goal is! Inspiring!!!! I have hunted down the books you suggested and am remembering my love of a couple of novels (Mists of Avalon and Frieda Khalo journals!) I've read in past to go to and open randomly!!

[@reginaeid1568]

TY for a great session and for clarifying btwn boro (no matter how you say it) and sashiko, which deserved mention😘

You mentioned gelli plate to order through you, how?

[@lauragreggain7767]

I’m so excited to see , what I call, blackout poetry.. I’ve been exploring this for a couple of years on and off. I know what you mean about not being wired for language, sadly I live in Quebec and not being fluent inFrench is bit of problem...lol

[@RobynMcClendon]

Awesome And Thank you❣️

[@LivingInFullEssence]
