Gelli print collaged brush storage

Today I have a guest post on Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's blog, where I create variegated arrow strips using her Chevron stencil.  Thanks Julie, for letting me share my technique on your blog!  You can see my guest post here.

I thought I would provide some additional photos of the container that I collaged with the variegated arrow papers (as well as some other gelli prints that I have).

I bought this container at the thift store for a couple bucks. It is supposed to be for holding silverware, but I thought it would make a great brush and pen holder.

I only collaged the outside, leaving the interior lime green.  I put a coat of gesso on the outside, as my gelli prints on deli paper are somewhat translucent.

Here are a bunch of different gelli prints I used. I cut them into strips with my paper cutter, then cut then into rectangles and squares with scissors.

Here is my finished container!
