Summer of Color Week #2 Gelli print prep...

This week for the Summer of Color challenge (orange and hot pink for this week) I thought I would start earlier and actually USE the gelli prints I make for it...

So this morning I started gelli printing some papers to use for collage or a journal page. Here are some of the prints. I have discovered my camera doesn't want to give me as bright colors as the real thing, as well as making the photos all have a more yellowing tinge even though I am using fluorescent lights and not regular light bulbs. I am sure there must be a setting on my camera for that but I have to figure that out once I download the manual since I no longer have any documentation (it's an old Panasonic Lumix). There really IS some hot pink in there!

Here are some closeups:

and some music and old book pages too:

Now I have a few days to make something for the challenge and will post it here by the deadline on Sunday!

  1. Looks like you had a fun day! I like the honeycomb stencil on a few of them. I need to make that one... In fact, I need to play with my Silhouette more. Anyway, great prints, looking forward to what you do with them.

  3. These cameras today can do most anything. It's just that I do not have one. You will figure yours out in time.
