A Few Gelli Prints, and a Huge Linky List...

Hey there everyone!  Thanks for all the comments on my last post - It makes my day when I hear from you!!!

There were a few questions about the workshops I have on my Workshop Tracker form, so I thought I would provide some more info, along with links to the workshops, so you can check them out yourselves if you like!  They are all fun workshops that I would recommend, based on my own experience as a student.

I hope this is helpful!

I've been busy making gelli prints on deli paper - here are some of them hanging to dry.  The one of the face was made by putting a magazine image under the gelli plate (it's clear) and painting over the top.  Fun!


 And - I can't resist adding in a few sleeping cat photos.  :)   Here's my sweet boy Willie (also known as the caramel-colored fluffball)...
 (oh to be that flexible - ha)

and his adorable brother Johnny (also known as the Johnmeister)...
I love his little white fang!

I hope you are having a groovy week my friends!  Thanks so much for visiting, and I will see you again tomorrow!

Thanks for your comments everyone!

Carla - I DO have a very busy day job, which is why I have so many unfinished workshops! HA. I start them because they are fun, and then don't have time to finish them. This list goes back years. Thankfully they are all workshops with forever access!
