After watching a video where someone worked their gel prints with extra color, I have been having a lot of fun enhancing my prints. I used colored pencils and some Gelatos to define my stenciled areas more visibly. I had laid 4 stencils on my plate to pull the original print. When I perused today's inspiration site the V&A museum, I was drawn to this beautiful butterfly because the color and the various patterns reminded me of my print. After trying out many variations of bg, I decided to collage some papers together. This reminded me of the swatches you'd see in fashion design that I thought of when I saw this book. I added a couple of pieces of gel prints at the top right, a packing tape and newsprint gel print transfer, and some brayer off sheets. The piece just under the butterfly is a watercolored piece that reminded me of this cloud print. I had seen a couple of Christian Dior quotes, but didn't think they matched my page so I looked online and found another that suited me better
