Brayer Backgrounds and Voodoo

When Gelli printing I clean the acrylic paint from my brayer onto a sheet of paper as I think most do, these can make great backgrounds, the one below I glued to a book box.
I then started to decorate with my Skulduggery and Voodoo Stencils using Decoart Modelling Paste scraped through the Voodoo Stencil for dimension.

Andy Skinner Gelli Brayer Voodoo Box





Here is the nearly finished Book Box.



It was aged afterwards with Decoart Traditions Transparent Red Iron Oxide





Thanks for reading,

Andy..... Oh P.S

Those on my workshop yesterday will recall that I painted my nails on one hand with Iridescent Pink paint??  Well I stopped at the Motorway services on the way home and was happily eating my burger when I noticed people staring, then giving me strange looks and muttering to one another.... Yep you guessed it... I forgot to scrub it off!!.... Hey just call me Twinkle in future..... actually don't!  lol!!

    They probably envied your nail colour Andy and were wondering what make it was! Even though sculls don't do a lot for me(I am too near death maybe to want to see them)I have to admit, your book looks very cool! Get trying out your stencils yesterday, sadly non slipped into my bag! Sorry I was extra dense yesterday, I was very tired. Hope you didn't have a bad journey home, very snowy here today.

    You have finally admitted to liking pink then Twinkle. ;-) Knew you were just pretending!
    Still not played with my gelli plate yet but really hoping to get there soon. Loving the book, how come you can make even your cleanup art look fantastic?
