It's July 7, the day I promised to pick a winner of the gel plate from the blog hop post. Jo Reimer is that lucky winner! Thanks to all of you who visited my blog during this blog hop. Hope you enjoyed the post and those of the other blog hoppers. We are all very excited about the release of Sue Bleiweiss's book. I think it is a real winner!
You have probably seen Part 1 of my Visual Journal using the gel plate. Take a look at Part 2, and then here is a little video we'll call "Part 2" - more work in the visual journal using gel plate prints.

Yes, I am one lucky girl. I'm very impressed with the gel plate and the presentation with it nestled in its own plastic tray and lid. Now to set aside a day or more to work with it. This video is very nice, Jane. I have a question: do you consider the pages of your book finished when they get to this point or do you intend to add text or photos or drawings to what you've done?
Hi Jo. Thanks for the question. I don't worry about whether pages are "finished" or not. The point, for me, of the visual journal is to have a place to experiment, like a sketchbook. But with this journal, each page spread is like a visual challenge. It is the process, the practice, that interests me. And this practice keeps my visual skills honed, and keeps me curious and questioning in my art.
I have had some spam comments lately, advertising of stupid stuff. So I am moderating comments until I can figure out a better way to prevent spam. THANKS!
Congratulations Jo!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you again Jane for the great inspiration, videos, instruction, all of it!!!

DeleteSpectacular. Definitely want to take this into my classroom this fall. Hopefully visuals will turn into words.
