#gelliplate #abstractart #miniart
Days 6-10 of the #gelypostcardplay challenge. I used polystyrene stamps, paper casting collage, hot glue gun stencil, sgraffito and texture plate techniques.
I used gel plate, brayers, paint brushes, acrylic paint, paint brushes, matte medium, cotton buds, baby oil and more.
I hope you enjoy.

WOW-Card-Enterprises by Quirky Queens - is all I can say. Your cards are all unique - and yet, because of the challenge - there are even more to come. I love it. My garden left me with dirty hands. You always leave me with my head bursting with ideas Such a gorgeous feeling! Thanks Kirsten!

Britta, I’m soooooooo sorry I’m so late replying. I’ve been up to my eyes in it. Some good….like applying to start an art degree!!!!!!!!!! This would change my life and I really really really hope I get in this year 🤞🏻 Also my parents house fire saga continues. 9 months later it’s still stagnant due to uninsured guy and lack of council action. I’ve been communicating with every public body I think can help. It’s a lot of research getting to the right people as, understandably, no one wants to take a complex case like this on. Our weather has been ridiculously awful. We went to an art gallery in Edinburgh on Saturday. 11.5 degrees…it was really cold, even with jumpers. My garden is neglected this summer…so far. It’s just raining so often. I hope you had a lovely weekend Britta ❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️

Hi Kirsten! Homemade paper? Yes, please. It's gorgeous and has so much yummy texture. I too like making paper. This summer I've been putting tinted paper pulp into squeeze bottles and making squggly coloured papers. Me thinks that you and I would get into a lot of creative messes if we ever hung out.

Apple, I’ve been very very busy…applying to art schools!!!!!! I’m hoping to be accepted to start this year 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 My life will change radically if I do. Outside life, proper clothes, brushing hair….😂🤣😂 I watched an author do that on KZbin with stencils. It was magical. Imagine I get in apple, I’ll be sure to share my knowledge ❤️

Kirsten, Thanks for sharing. 😊 Each of those techniques were very unique and I don't think I have seen them on any other channels. Have a great day!

[@quirkyqueens]

Aw marina, thank you. I do like trying different things on the gel plate. That’s the slant I went for in this challenge. I hope you have a wonderful day too 😁

I will agree. Her jelly plate creations are very unique and artistic I find.

@@quirkyqueens 🤞 I hope you get in. Hugs ♥️

[@Sunnyside--Up]

Wow... so beautiful!

[@quirkyqueens]

Thank you!!! I do prefer these ones to the first 5.

[@Sunnyside--Up]

@@quirkyqueens I like the first 5 too. Personally, I think the 'mask' or whatever you would call it, is a different category, I find. They all are intriguing. Perhaps there could be a group of 5 faces or something. You are the creator and I remember how nervous I would get when creating, when in fact, I thought that I should have fun. But sometimes not so 🤕😂
