Zentangle® and Gelli Arts®

View a YouTube, how to combine Gelli Arts® printing and tangle patterns.

No trip to Santa Fe would be complete without shopping at the Artisan store… their selection of art supplies is totally inspiring.

Zentangle books… authored by me!

When I walked in the Artisan store, they had a display of my books laid out on a table. Even I was impressed with the selection. Since I work on designing one book at a time, I rarely see the collection laid out together. It seems unbelievable that I have authored over 12 books on the theme of Zentangle.

Tangled birds with Gelli printing.

I love the enthusiastic students who attend my classes. This year we had fun using Gelli Arts printing plates to add color and texture to paper tiles. Then we added Tangle patterns in the white bird. It is always fun to see how student artists draw the patterns… each bird is unique.

Little window cards with Peek-a-Boos.

Ever since I developed the Peek-a-Boo Tangle cards, they have been one of my favorite projects to teach. Every one of the designs is a fun and colorful surprise.

Enthusiastic Zentangle students.

The smiles on the faces of students make teaching classes worthwhile.

Printmaking with GelliArts®

View a YouTube, explore the possibilities of Gelli Printing on black paper with opaque, transparent and metallic paints.

Printmaking and all the creative ideas and techniques for making art is inspiring to me. My current passion is Gelli Arts® printing.

Gelli on black

I love designing one-of-a-kind stamps and stencils. With sticky foam and foam plates, it is simple to create a dozen original mark-making tools in a day. And then I can use these with my Gelli Arts® printing plate.

I am happy printing on paper for collage fodder, printing on fabric for a quilt, printing a quickie t-shirt, or just enjoying being creative.

I am so lucky. Near my home, I have a teaching studio and gallery… SparksStudioArt.com. When I am in a creative mood, I can spread out all my art supplies and be creative to my heart’s content. Also, we teach classes and create art together… I love making art with my friends.

Gelli Printing is one of my favorite painting techniques and it is so much FUN! I love to demo and teach with my Gelli Arts® plate.

Recently I was doing a short demo to a group of friends at an art retreat and got a BIG SURPRISE!  When I mentioned that Gelli printing worked equally well on paper and fabric, Teresa’s eyes lit up. “Could I do it on my plain t-shirt?”, she asked.  With my answer of “sure” – Teresa took off her shirt (it was an all women’s retreat), chose her colors and textures, positioned her shirt on the Gelli plate and Walla! – we printed her shirt.  Look for Teresa around San Diego, CA.  You’ll recognize her by the shirt!

I love to print colorful textures and pages as the ‘starts’ for pages in my Art Journal.  Then I add favorite quotes with a bit of simple collage or stencil illustrations.  See some of my favorite quotes above.

Check out my book on ‘Gelli Printing’. Half of the book is how-to-do-it and the other half is what-to-do-with-your-prints.
