Message: [QUOTE="ElviraVaughn, post: 228655, member: 24989"] Gelli printing is such a fun and creative technique I love how versatile it is for making unique textures and patterns! Using deli paper is a fantastic idea because its lightweight and smooth surface really does hold paint well, especially for layered prints. Here are a few tips I’ve picked up from my own experiments: [LIST=1] [*][B]Prepping the Deli Paper[/B]: You can tape the edges down to keep it from curling while working. This helps, especially if you’re using a lot of paint or creating multiple layers. [*][B]Layering Techniques[/B]: One of the best parts of gelli printing on deli paper is how well it handles transparency. Experiment with translucent paints or thin layers to create depth it looks amazing when layered over darker backgrounds later. [*][B]After Printing[/B]: Deli paper is great for collage work! Once your prints dry, you can glue them onto canvases, journals or even use them as wrapping paper for a personal touch. [*][B]Experiment with Textures[/B]: Incorporate stencils, stamps or even everyday objects like bubble wrap or leaves to add more variety to your designs. [/LIST] I’d love to check out the blog you mentioned for more inspiration. Have you tried using deli paper for anything other than gelli printing? It’s surprisingly versatile for other mixed-media projects too! [/QUOTE]
