International Women's Day

Happy International Women's Day Everyone!

I'm celebrating with a Spring/friendship page in my art journal for Rosie's Spring Challenge at art Journal Journey.


The women were images cut from a clothing catalogue to use as silhouettes for gel printing. I cut the heart and punched the flowers from some colourful scraps on my desk.

And here are my monoprints for Birgit's Day 8 'Silhouette' Challenge. I warn you, there are more than a few!!!

These are made with the catalogue cut outs...





And these were made with That's Crafty! stencils...






Happy crafting,

Alison x

  4. I had completely forgotten abut International Women's Day, so I was thrilled you highlighted them. I really LOVE what you did with the spring inspired art journal piece for Art Journal Journey.

    Of course, I was equally inspired by the masks you created, because I did something similar once. I covered mine (one woman only) with transparent tape on both sides. It still is going strong. All your gelli prints are fabulous today. I really LOVE the women, but I also like the birds, too. You are a genuine inspiration, dear.

  9. I never thought to use magazine cut outs on gelli prints for their shapes, but that is a really good idea Alison. Your Woman's Day pages are excellent, and I really like your other prints too. Hugs-Erika
