Offset that Parchment Overlay!!
Good of you to drop in.
What a great few days we have had with our retreat guests.
Thank you so much to those of you who came and invested so much time, energy and money in a couple of Clarity days
with Paul and myself.
Hope it was worth it for them.
So a day of rest tomorrow, and then we take it from the top on Monday.
Really looking forward to it.
So now to today’s blog.
Saturday’s blog a new technique…
Well, on Thursday, I alluded to Golden Open Acrylic Paints on Parchment. Many of you found this interesting. So many thanks Elaine for the heads up!
I want to see about another fabulous open colour paint,
Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold
and want to use the stencil a little differently…
Shall we try it?
Spread a little Nickel Azo Gold over our 8″ x 10′ Gel Printing Plate
This yellow piece will be our background….
Now let’s make another piece.
Lay the stencil down on the not cleaned printing plate.
Brayer Azo Gold over it thinly.
There is so much to explore here!
But if I yawn any wider I’ll dislocate my jaw!
Night night

Love & Peace always,
Barb

Love Chris xx

Hi Barbara
I will try this tomorrow but with other paints as I don't have the ones you used. I will have to work quickly. Have a lovely rest tomorrow.
Hugs fron Chris X
Another 'must try.' Enjoy an early night and an 'R &R' day tomorrow. ;~}
Hi Barbara. What a lovely idea. I wanted to say a very big THANK YOU to you Paul, Dave and Jane for a wonderful two days at the retreat yesterday and today. Boy oh boy those of you yet to go are in for a real treat. But my lips are sealed 🤐. Take care Barb and enjoy a day of rest tomorrow.
Oooh… spoilsport… go on give me a clue…no don't… yes do…. no don't! Really don't… my friend Anne and I are attending for the very first time this year and we're so excited, we just can't hide it (sounds like a song…hmmmn!) Seriously we are so looking forward to it – we'll be like kids in a sweet shop when we get there!!!!
Su, we are all sworn to secrecy. All we can say is that you will have a wonderful time when it is your turn. xxx Maggie
Ha ha… knew that would be the case and rightly so…. seriously can't wait. Only 'slight cloud on the horizon' is the long drive down from the North East but it will be sooooo worth it! xx
Good luck with the drive, Su. It took me seven and a half hours to get home to Worcestershire (around 200 miles) on Friday. xxx Maggie
Lovely. Amazing what you can do with some paint.
I have had a brilliant day creating cards and canvases. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Just home from watching a live relay of Andre Rieu's concert from Maastricht. What a great performer and what a happy, emotional atmosphere. So pleased all went well with the final retreat for this week. Love the seed demo, I don't have the paints you used Barbara but will try the technique with what I have. Sleep well and enjoy family time tomorrow.
Oh dear does this mean I need an e bosser? 😱😂😂
Nope. Any old mangle will do!
So many new techniques I can't keep up!
Enjoy tomorrow xx
Hello and goodnight all you night owls xx
Night Chris, hope you had a good day. Have,a great Sunday.xx
Hi Barbara
This looks beautiful, I haven't got these paints but think I might have to have a play. Yes it does look 3D, you are clever. Enjoy your day off tomorrow, feet up, vitamin D intake in the garden and some quality time with Dave. Ignore the housework ( well perhaps a bit of washing so you have a few clean undies!!), it will still be there next week. Take care
Love Diane xxxx
Hello my lovely blog friends, it's been another warm day down south, Warner than we all thought it would be! Had some lovely family time today, we've just finished watching Lady in the Van, hadn't realised it had broadstairs in it, haven't been there for years, we need to go there again soon. I hope everyone is ok. Sending hugs all round. Xxxx
Hi Diane, it's been warm here too. It's been a relaxing day for us today, I'd like to see Lady in the Van, obviously I missed it or was it a DVD. Glad you've enjoyed your day love and hugs,Pam xx
Another successful day and also a clever and successful creation Barbara and the offset parchment does indeed give depth to the finished piece. Take it easy tomorrow, you deserve it! x
Great technique with a very effective result. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us on Friday. See you soon. Love and hugs, Jeanette xxxx
Must do some gelli prints this holiday. Have a relaxing weekend. Xx
Hi bloggy friends, late tonight as I have been out for my sisters birthday meal. Great evening in lovely company and great food too. Xx
Hi Donna, I'm late too, glad you had a great evening and meal with your sister. Hope you had a relaxing day with some sunshine. We've had sunshine on and off with cloud sometimes, Dried all the washing though. Have a lovely weekend. Love and hugs,Pam xx
Must get my Gelli printing plate out, need to try out some backgrounds. Haven't got the paints you have used here but I suppose it'll work with System 3 ones if you work quickly enough. It definitely looks 3D, love that stencil too. Ordered all the Africa stamps and a few groovy and sale items, was getting withdrawal symptoms, ha ha. Enjoy your day off tomorrow, have some Dave and You, Me time and relax. Love and hugs Pam xx
Hi to all my lovely blog friends, hope you've all had a relaxing Saturday and some nice weather to boot. Enjoy the rest of the Weekend too. Love and hugs, Pam xx
Hello Barbara
What a lovely piece of work. Thanks to you and Paul and my first retreat I am no longer scared of my Gel Plate.
All of you who are still to go on retreat are in for a real treat. Enjoy.
Once again, thank you, Barbara and Paul.
Love
Roz.x
Really pleased the first week went so well, love this piece definitely one to try.
Have a lovely rest day xx
Just wanted to say a great big thank you to you, Paul, Jane (enjoy your birthday celebrations), Dave, all those working behind the scene plus those fellow crafters attending for making the workshop such a lovely two days. I really enjoyed it and learnt a lot.
Hope the gap ache soon goes completely.
Hello Barb, yet more inspiration with the gel plate, paint and parchment. Love the result. So pleased to hear the retreats went well. Take care. Bx
Fabulous technique. Love the colours. Have a wonderful day of rest.
Hugs

Love your work Barbara have a nice rest
Love June Horrocks xxxxxxxx
Really like this affect Barb will have to give it a go when I can get my mojo back into gear. Coming off my current antidepressants to go on some new ones so I ain't got any drive to do anything at the moment. Still I am hoping that there is light at the end of the tunnel and when I get the new ones into my system it will be just that systems all go! Glad your tooth seems to be getting better. Have a good rest Sunday from your retreats. Much love Jayne
Love this. Think I may have a try at doing this on fabric, then embroidering the highlights. Love the geli plate/ geli press. X
Really like the idea of off-setting the stencils to give dimension. Might have a play this afternoon after my trip to the dump! My new gardener has gone to town on the beds and bushes, so a fortnightly garden waste collection is no longer enough – I'm on first name terms with the council staff now tho! Enjoy your day off X
Have been on for couple days as away for weekend no internet no signal so quiet weekend out in a village pub for roast dinner waiting for dinner. Glad your first week went well love Joy and big hugs from Katie xxx
Hi Barbara, I really love this technique, a fabulous idea.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Barb
Gorgeous project, love your ideas thank you for sharing X X X
