Collage pieces added to the layers of Gelli printing. This print was really ugly! What will this turn out to be? Now the hard part to choose the masks and try to imagine the negative spaces. Also placing them in the right place on the plate, If not surprise surprise. 

After the mask printing and before editing the image with paint, Better than that ugly above!

The difference of coloring is due to the different times of photography and different cameras. 

I have come to the conclusion the using my Canon G11 is better, even though it requires more processing than my smartphone.

After a session of painting, I had these real garish paints leftover, Hansa yellow deep and turquoise green. I hate throwing away good paint, so at 9PM  took out my 5 x 7 Gelli plate and with this result. I used a palette knife to spread the paint. Made 2 prints of turquoise and then spread the yellow and put that over the green.
