    Hi there, Jan. welcome to IUOMA and thanks for the friending. Thise recent pieces kn the Blue Roads group are oth intaglio prints--copperlate etchings that have been enhanced with various media. Glad you enjoyed them.
  • Carmela Rizzuto

    Thanks for being a friend. Yes, let's exchange gelli-prints. Your Gelliland stamps are special. I've just started to explore this technique and so am learning the basics at this point. I'm hoping that my previous monotype experience will be beneficial and shorten the learning curve.

    Hello Jan, welcome to iuoma. Thank you for your participation to my project.

  • Eduardo Cardoso

    Thank you very much for your friendship. Your art is welcome in my mailbox. Namaste.

  • Carmela Rizzuto

    Jan--glad that you enjoyed the 'blues'. I really had fun exploring both the Gelli-plate possibilities and the color blue. Due to injury I'm no longer able to use a regular etching press so the Gelli-plate experiments have revived my creative spirit.

  • Roberto Bergamo

    thank you :) I will send you something soon. good summer

    HI Jan--

    Thank you for your gelli-plate mail art which I picked up today. Really like the color combo and the gelli-print stamp! It will be added to my IUOMA photo stream and  blogged soon at http://decordisart.blogspot.com/

    ?? is that a print of yours on the background of your iuoma page? Wonderful colors (again).

  • Carmela Rizzuto

    Jan--thanks for the comments re: gelli-print ghost. This was a serendipitous print and I added additional color manually. Registration would have been needed  for this detailed a stencil. I usually don't set up registration for Gelli-prints to enable a plate 'run' for added color.  It was printed on buff colored cardstock.

    PS: it has been fun to discuss techniques on this group and see others works.

  • Anu

    It would be nice to exchange some orange art with you :)

  • Lynn Radford

    Exchanging "Oranginess" would be grand, Jan! Look for something shortly. And thanks for the friendship request. :D

  • Terry Owenby

    Hi Jan, thanks for your nice note and friendship request. Having just joined, I'm not sure of all the rules yet. For a one-on-one swap, do we decide on a deadline, substrate, things like that? I had not heard of asemic writing before and when I read about it, I was fascinated, as I love that kind of thing. This would be my first time making asemic writing art, however. Are you sure you want to swap with a beginner? :-)
