I Believe 3 & 4 - Gelli Prints
Created: January
1, 2015 I absolutely love this song "I Believe" - lyrics by Ervin Drake 1953. It just kept repeating itself in my brain, to the point I had to do it calligraphically...
song: I believe for every drop of rain that falls
a flower grows. |

Double matted with a light sage green inner matt and warm white outer mat |

I put small drops of Golden Fluid acrylic paints on to my medium sized Gelli plate (Quinacridone Burnt Orange, Jenkins Green, Green Gold, Ultramarine Violet, & Ceramcoat Copen Blue). Brayered to merge color without making MUD... Misted with water and pressed my Arches 90# HP watercolor paper onto my plate, burnishing the color into the paper. (I Believe #3). Misted my gelli plate again and spattered water and made another print (I Believe #4).
I Believe #3: Wrote in the title using 6.0 Parallel pen and dipping in to Dr Martins watercolor inks sprinkled with Schminke gold powder. When dry, outlined one side with a fine tipped black pen. Spliced the title onto my text page and adhered two thin strips of green 1/16"w quill paper. Wrote in the lyric name and my signature.
