MIXED MEDIA PIECE

I really LOVE using "Gelatos" .  They are a wonderful, creamy, water soluble pigment stick that blends beautifully with or without water. There are so many other uses too.  You can apply some to a palate and add water and put it in a mister, or use it as water color paint.  I love scribbling with them and blending them with and without water,  They have a big selection of packs of Gelatos at the Altered Pages Store.  The packs come with 4 Gelatos, a paint brush and a stamp, Or the Gelatos with a brush and  dabber.  They are really well priced too!  Cheaper than the other shopping sites!

I started by using Mixed Media paper and adding some book paper, patterned paper and burlap to it.  I then used the Gelatos and just scribbled them all around the paper.

 I blended the Gelatos with a sponge and with water.  I then used stamps and wrote my new favorite phrase.  A little spray on Gelato mix was added to the top.

Here, I stamped some flowers on patterned paper and painted them with water color I made with my Gelatos. 

Next, I used punchinella as a stencil and rubbed white Gelato on a sponge.

And this is my finished piece.  I LOVE the colors I was able to get with the Gelatos!!  And, I also like to cut the piece apart into 3x5 inch pieces and use them as card backgrounds.  It is a very fun thing to do, no matter what you do with them or how you use them.  Just have fun!!  I did!
