Hi everyone, Are you ready for another round of gelli plate printing?

The fact that it says 'you cant expect me to be neat' gives me permission to just sit and make a creative mess so I did! I cut up some 110gsm cartridge paper to a 4" x 5.75" size and I used my stamping platform to make a panel assembly line. Thisallowed me to get the stamping out of the way and just play afterwards.
