Hexie Bag and Gelli Prints


First of all I finished the second hexie bag. All the hexagonal patches were stitched by hand, some not very neatly unfortunately. The first bag can be seen here.


I've also been doing some Gelli prints with my new acrylic paints.



I quite like this one but I thought I would go over it anyway.


I liked the colours on this but went over it with more prints until it turned out like this. You cannot see the first layer very well now.



I also did some prints directly into a flower book

This were not as successful I think

  6. Lovely prints! And that hexagon bag is so nice! Is there a lining inside? I have lots of hexies sewn, but never made anything with them.

  7. Both bags are beautiful, and I guess, full of memories.
    What you are doing with the gelli prints is experimenting, so it is natural that you go over them again and again. It is a good idea to take a picture before you make any changes, so you an image of each step.
