I've been doing a lot of playing with my Gellli Plates and demo'ing Callgraphy on them. Under normal circumstances, anything you do on a Gelli plate will give you a reverse image when pulling a print. If you are doing basic lettering, you can just put a reversed image under your Gelli Plate and trace, but if you are doing manipulative calligraphy, that becomes problematic... So I decided to pull a print onto a 2nd Gelli Plate, giving me a reversed image of my calligraphy and then pulling my print. You can see the steps below.

This piece won a 1st place ribbon in the Neuland category.

 

Quote: Only as high as I reach can I grow
             Only as far as I seek can I go
             Only as deep as I look can I see
             Only as much as I dream can I be.

I call this my "water lily pond" color scheme... The colors I used were Ceramcoat "Lime", "Laguna", "Yellow"; Folk Art "Rose Blush", "Pure Orange"; Americana "Royal Fuchsia".

I used a plastic glue applicator, cutting it down to the nib size I wanted approx 3/8"w. Wrote my word "Dream", cleaning my applicator after every letter. Doing a print on a 2nd Gelli Plate, then pulling a print onto glossy paper from the 2nd plate.

Wrote the rest of the text using a 2.4mm Parallel Pen and Sumi ink in my Funky style of Neuland.

I used a dark Emerald Green inner mat with an off white upper mat.
