Australia is a country rich in both flora and fauna. I wanted to celebrate this and make a wallhanging for my husband’s birthday.
Firstly, I started with a piece of plain white homespun and thought about the l…

Wow that is fantastic. Really have to study the technique but it sounds intriguing and the results are lovely. Thanks Sue.

I didn’t explain how you make the gel plate. You have to heat the mixture and dissolve the gelatine. Then pour into a tray too set. Once it’s done, you can reheat it and reset it in a different shape as required.

Thanks Sue.

That is gorgeous & the technique very well explained.

Thank you
I was out of my comfort zone with the paint but I really enjoyed the gel plate printing. It’s always nice to try something new.

What a lovely little project. I’m with you on scrap storing – I think it stems from my early playgroup leader days when we had to gather resources from everywhere and make the most of what we had (no money to buy things). I still ‘hoard’ to recycle now. Another thing to try – exciting.
