Let me go ahead and tell you, it is a RABBIT HOLE, lol. I saw a video, ordered all kinds of stuff that same day, and since then I’ve been Gelli printing every piece of paper I can find. It’s so much fun!

Saturday I just played with bubble wrap and some favorite colors all day!

Postcrossing is my latest hobby…I need to wait a few months before I buy any more art supplies Although it looks like a gelli plate is under £10?? That’s affordable…I have paint…TALK ME DOWN

Gelliprinting is actually a fairly inexpensive hobby, imo. The plates aren’t expensive, and then I just use very cheap craft store acrylic paint. I do have some stamps and stencils I bought, but you can do a lot of texture techniques with just around the house things- sponges, lace, bottle lids, bubble wrap…

I got into both hobbies at the same time too. I’ve spent way more on postcrossing.
