Welcome to the Gelli Arts\u00ae blog, it\u2019s Birgit here today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">One of the most asked questions I get is \u201cwhat can you do with those your prints?\u201d. The answer is that the possibilities are endless but today I\u2019m going to focus on one thing, using your prints as collage material.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We\u2019re going to create collage birds!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Collage Birds with Gelli Arts\u00ae  by Birgit Koopsen\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P9pcRaSMmdE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">To create these little birds you have to collect papers from your gel printed paper stash and, if you have them, your scraps from previous projects. Just pick some papers that look lovely together, are contrasting in color and have nice textures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Then find some pictures of birds. You can use magazine images but you can also find birds pictures online and print them. I just did a quick Google search for singing birds. Birds with a lot of colors are the best as you will have lots of elements to create a colorful bird.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The photos don\u2019t have to be colored but a colored image for reference does make it easier.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\"

class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Use carbon paper to trace the outlines of all the elements, starting with the complete bird as a base so you can build upon that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Make sure you lay the paper right side down with the carbon paper on top so you don\u2019t see the tracing lines on the right side of the paper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Basically you\u2019re creating a little puzzle and it is up to you how many and which elements you want to use.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">When your bird is ready you can add some elements using black and white pens.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\"
