Just had to show him once how to do it and he caught on. He printed 12 pages, both sides. He had a blast doing it. I then made them into a book and he gave it to his Mom.

It's a thin, clear film with removable, low-tack adhesive already on it, usually used with airbrushing. You'll see it mentioned in this post!

The actual mask design I want is fairly delicate calligraphy. I want to put the mask on a canvas and paint over it. But I find that I need something to keep the mask in place (I tried masking tape but it was too flimsy), but don't know what to use ? I need something that will allow me to do quite an intricate design without making it look too 'thick'.<br />Any help would be greaaatly appreciated!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194551949195718458.post-58025013571132014912012-07-06T20:17:19.619-04:002012-07-06T20:17:19.619-04:00Great blog nice n useful information , it is very ...Great blog nice n useful information , it is very helpful for me , I realy appreciate thanks for sharing.

And as you can see, I've used plenty of them :) I mentioned Sheer Heaven because it's one of my favorite materials to use, and I agree — it is expensive! But of all the materials I've used, the masks I've cut from Sheer Heaven have held up the best. Please use whatever masking material suits you! And I hope you'll share your prints on our Facebook page!<br /><br />Stonehenge (by Rising) is a printmaking paper with a smooth surface. However, there's no need to use a specific paper with Gelli printing! Anything will do … just have FUN!!!Joan Besshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07486562094048260767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194551949195718458.post-24656312401109829512011-11-07T17:32:24.672-05:002011-11-07T17:32:24.672-05:00Very interesting -- gave me some great ideas for u...Very interesting -- gave me some great ideas for using my new Gelli.
