I love my Gelli printing plate. A couple days ago, I produced 50 two sided prints for a journal to take on a trip. I needed 100 pages to copy the drawings from the book, "100 Girls on Cheap Paper." I collaged paper onto chipboard for the covers. I thought the cover was a little too bright, so I Mod Podged a piece of sewing pattern tissue on top and got the exact effect I wanted. I bound the whole thing with my Zutter Bind It all. Here's some of the inside pages. The journal is just for practice drawing faces.
After making the journal, I just couldn't stop making prints, so I used packing tape for some image transfers:
This morning, I decided to try something. I did not have whole sheet laminating film, but I did have a transparency and a large Xyron machine. So I ran the transparency through the Xyron to make a sticky back clear sheet. It worked great - even better than the packing tape. BTW - I use Perfect Pearls on the backs of the transfers to fill in the blank spots and neutralize the sticky surfaces.
