 Hey guys, so we're here today to play with making some prints. I've got my jelly arts jelly plate out I've got some drawing paper some deli paper Some deco art Americana paint, which I like using on the jelly plate some powdered pigments some found objects And homemade a few homemade stamps. I also have this I put on my social media recently We bought a new bed for ourselves, and this was part of the packaging material and I looked at this and went I needed to have they had a bunch of these pieces that came wrapped Into different parts of the bed and I went out and grabbed one and the guys both looked that were delivering both looked at me I said I Can't explain this to you very well, but I'm a mixed media artist. I need this to make marks with They both just were very puzzled and my husband basically said don't ask so That being said I do have I have had and do have Smaller pieces of a similar material that I got in a piece of furniture years ago I don't remember exactly how long ago I cut them up and glued some of them to another piece of cardboard make made this stamp with them that I love This is actually an extra piece of the same thing and this is basically the same kind of cardboard. It's just much bigger, so when you're Buying furniture like Ikea furniture and things like that, you know look for these kind of packaging materials And because they make interesting marks, so I'm going to fast forward through my process and Make some paper and fill up my drying rack with some painting papers and My friend pig Robinson Showed using powdered pigments on the jelly plate recently and also powdered graphite, which I don't have but I was wondering what I was watching that This has pencil shavings in it. I wonder what that would do So we're gonna play with that and try that too. So I'm gonna fast forward through it and I'll be right back Okay, guys, so look at all these painting papers. I know when I'm making them. You don't always get a great look We'll try to get one now I use them for collage. I don't generally use them for as a finished piece of work. There are backgrounds There's something that gets torn up and used in collage Maybe cover the outside of a journal. So I always want ones with different marks different tones. I You know, this one is so simple and I don't know yellow is not even my favorite color But I love it. I have this one over here and there's so many I don't even know if I'm it if I can get them all on camera To show you all let me see if they're dry enough to take off the rack and by the way in case you're wondering This is a clothes drying rack And then from Amazon I have clip hooks on it these clip hooks are actually from Daiso But if I can find a similar one on Amazon, I'll link both the clothing rack and the hook In the description below. I have room for this To be out in my art room. It's not out all the time It does fold up flat and will fit in the closet when I'm not using it And this way I have drying space to as you can see get a lot of stuff on there to dry Hang on one second. They are dry. So I decided to take that They are dry. So I decided to take them off the drying rack And as I'm talking we'll do a quick flip through of all of the Papers that I did from this go round. This is just dollar store drawing paper And as I said, I like these random I just love this one. I use them for collage. I use them for to cover small journal covers I don't generally use them as is to create artwork on Sometimes I'll do double sided ones and I'll use them as a background and make journal signatures out of them Most of the time they're just collage fodder I like creating my own collage materials my own mixed media supplies Tracy bautista says in her classes if you've ever taken one She calls it leveraging your own work Making copies of your own work in color and black and white and using it in other art projects and just Instead of buying so many papers not that you don't buy any but Most of the time you just create your own and these for the most part Are made with found Mark making tools the honeycomb one that you saw was a piece of a silicone plough holder This is a homemade stamp as is that one. This is that packaging material. Sorry my phone my computer's digging in the background I played with putting some pigment powders on the jelly plate, which was a lot of fun And I just generally had fun with a few paint colors now not too many Ones that I knew would blend well or create something interesting so You don't have to have a jelly plate to do this kind of thing you can Use a piece of craft foam. You could try doing it on a piece of acrylic You could try doing it on one of these silicone mats just make painting marks and When you're going to do it do a big stack like this get a pad of dollar store drawing paper and Just fill do the whole pad um 25 sheets or however many sheets are in the pad and just make marks with paint or ink Or whatever else you have and create some interesting Collage papers for you to add to use and if you want you can share them with your friends You can turn them into a digital download that you can print then print out and Work from the same copy over and over again even after the original is gone I do that a lot and I sell them in my Etsy shop and these are no different. I'll be going through them Yeah after You know I'll let them sit for a couple of days And this may be one of them that I actually scanned not only for my own personal use But for putting in the Etsy shop and I'll probably do a jelly print bundle I usually when I do jelly prints. I usually do a bundle so you buy The bundle for say three dollars or five dollars and you get you know, I don't know 12 sheets And this was just the clean off page by the way But I love that so These are what we created today.
