Quick Post—Gelli Printed Cards

Cards made from gelli printed panels.

Just a quick post with a picture of dyed paper towels I made this week as part of Traci Bautista's online printmaking class.  I always keep damp paper towels handy for cleaning off my brayer when making Gelli prints.  I used additional water, spray inks, and plastic needlepoint canvas to make the dyed paper towels.   Dyed paper towels made from damp Viva towels used to clean off my brayer while making Gelli prints.
