I've never tried that. Great result, Carole.

Agree, great result, especially for a first try.

Thank you both. It is hit and miss with the shapes, more miss I think.... I'll keep tryin!

A great technique; love the colours.

Like this Carole. Can you see the snakes head, I can.

Tha5 is so beautiful. My attempt did NOT look like that😁😁

Looks good Carole :)

How beautiful....sounds fun .

This is lovely Carole, the effect reminds me of the patterns on the windows after a hard frost in the days before central heating.

Thanks all for your encouraging feedback, I think I will try thicker paint next time. Yes Barry I remember the iced up windows 😱

An interesting technique. Loving the colours and the shapes/textures.

Sounds an intriguing technique, results are amazing...must try it!

What a lovely first try Carole and your colours are beautiful.

Looks very good Carole, never tried this myself.

Great idea, must give it a go. Looks great, Carole

It looks like lace from a distance, I must try this technique, so beautifully done, Carole.

Excellent Carole! It’s a lovely surprise when you don’t know exactly what you will get when you lift the paper off isn’t it.

Beautiful carole.

Thank you Annick and Fiona, yes it needs patience to let it dry but you are dying to look:). Thanks Russ.

Lovely idea and result, I've just bought myself a gelli plate but haven't used it yet.

Thanks Teresa, let us know how you get on .

Great idea and beautiful intense colours.
