Grass and flowers




Here are two Gelli plate  prints that I was working on yesterday.With the hot weather instead of just mowing the grass I picked some long stalks to print from.using the Gel plate is fairly easy a good on line source for instructions on the methods is Linda Germain .She gives really good advice.
