March is here already and we decided to make this our messy month! Painting it is….On paper, fabric, our clothing, and ourselves! We started out very organized with paper on the painting surface and aprons over our clothes. Good start. Well, that lasted about five minutes before we had stuff everywhere.

Both of us had purchased a Gelli Printing Plate and had never used it. We saw a demonstration of many techniques using it at the Houston Quilt Show last year and were duly impressed. We had to have it. That was in November. So here it is, March, and of course neither one of us could remember any of the cool techniques. YouTube here we come. After some time watching videos and taking notes, we thought we had it figured out enough to give it a shot. I don’t know if we did anything right but we sure had a great time doing it.

We started this blog to “use up our stuff” but we have run into a bit of a dilemma with this month’s activity. Yes, we used paper, paint, stamps, stencils, even an ear of corn….But now we have a pile of really awesome printed paper that we have to “use up”!! Now what?
