Building layers on a gel plate with the intention of continuing to add to them until I’m satisfied was something I stumbled on recently as I was playing with some other ideas.  When I focused on creating those many colored layers using a small brayer to apply the paint and adding texture and pattern with stencils, I realized how unlimited the potential with this technique was.  I love these prints and will use them as backgrounds for all kinds of projects!
