My Way Of Living

I also used a Hebrew page from an Israeli newspaper my son brought to me. #ink #stamping #blog #design #gelliprints #DIY #paint #diecut #color #paper #mixedmedia #handmade #stamp #craft #collage

As usual, for this collage I used Gelli prints on deli paper with a touch of stitching and StencilGirl stencils, but this time I did something less colorful. #sew #diecut #handmade #stamp #craft #collage #paper #mixedmedia #color #paint #gelliprints #design #blog #stamping

As I said in my home page, I'm so very happy for this renewal and I decided to launch it on my birthday as my own gift. I have to thank my son Felipe for encouraging and helping me in this task.

The papers as usual are bits and pieces of gelli prints, painted m

As you already may know I love collages and after three weeks out of town, I was eager to make one. I used tons of leftovers of die cuts, failed stamped images, gelli prints, paper I use to clean my brayer when painting or spraying and a few pieces of Thai paper. After I glued everything in place I started to sew randomly and in a very messy way. #handmade #collage #gelliprints #paint #design #mixedmedia #color #DIY #craft #sew #diecut #paper #stamp #stamping
