This is the book for you if you've been looking for ways to make monoprints - no expensive tools are needed for the projects in this book. I even teach you to make your own Gelli plate.

Gelli Printing is magical! Each print you pull of the plate has a sense of surprise and mystery and ninety five percent of the time the surprise is good.I fell in love with printmaking the moment I saw how colorful the prints could be and how I could use items found around the house as wonderful printmaking tools!

Join me as I use bottle caps, paper towel rolls, bubble wrap, old card, corrugated card boxes and more to make beautiful gelli prints.

Grab a pen and paper and go through my lists of things to shop for and others to look out for and start your own little gelli print factory! You will be totally addicted to this art form before you’re done with the book and you’ll have prints enough to make art journals for all your family and friends this Christmas.
