Replenish and Peek Through

Hello Everyone! 

It's still snowy and now icy outside, I believe, I haven't ventured out for three days. Plenty to keep me occupied though, Day 26 of Rae's Art Marks Challenge being one of them. Today's word is 'Replenish'. Apart from having a larder and fridge that desperately needs replenishing, I have replenished my creative heart and soul doing this challenge.


I used some gelli printed book page and a tea bag from yesterday's play, added some lines of red acrylic, some blue dots and circles, a cut out heart, black paint splatters and wrote the word.  Finished with some pencil scribbles. I love the white space on this page.


Onto some Gelli Plate play for Birgit Koopsen's challenge. Today's prompt was 'Peek Through', which is a great technique. I used torn and cut out circles and ovals as my masks, to get the peek through effect. 


Here are my little mask shapes, they'll be great collage pieces for an art journal page or two!


And a couple of pages, using up paint on the plate between prints.


Happy Friday!

  6. I think Replenish may be my favorite of all the art mark pieces you've made so far. Everything about it made me smile.

    I am now MORE than certain I quit too quickly when I use my gelli plate. I would never do as many pulls on a single piece as you did. These are incredible, and I really LOVE the brayer clean-up pages.

  7. Fabulous art pieces, I love the Replenish page you shared today.
    Stay safe and warm, I know how you feel about having to stay in because of the weather, still it does have its compensations and we can get creating.

  9. Love your replenish page Alison, it's something I have been doing for many this week making sure family that can not get out during the BIG Freeze are all stocked up with their necessaries and extras.
    I would have loved to have joined in with Birgets Gelli Challenge but knew with the present conditions i'd not be able to concentrate & I hate being a late starter. I will just have to continue enjoying everyone else's makes << always a delight!
    Warm hugs Tracey xx
