Get Well

I had me some fun with Gelatos on this one . . .

Gelatos are a very versatile medium . . . this is just one very simple way to use them:

1. Choose your stencil - one with fairly sturdy design openings is best.

2. Choose your Gelato colors - I used just two here, but more works too.

3. Scribble with the Gelatos over the back of your stencil.

4. Mist with water - a little or a lot, depending on the effect you're after.

5. Lay the stencil down over  a piece of watercolor paper, cover with a paper 

    towel, and press down to distribute the ink.

6. Heat dry, or let it dry naturally.

Done!  Depending on how much water you use, the colors can be saturated or watercolor-y, or everything in-between.  Easy and fun!
