Patience and Gel Plates

patience
Since the eclipse, I have woken up each morning with specific images and words. This morning was the same.
My dream depicted a gell plate with a variety of images on it and part of the plate was still soft. Then, I heard the word patience.


This is an example of a monoprint using  a gel plate. If you can imagine that the gel plate is made out of a combination of water, glycerin and gelatin. Once combined, it is poured into a cookie tin where it  sits for twenty four hours before it gells. If you touch it before then, it will be all sticky and not work well. When I work with the completed plate, I use stencils, paints, and  found objects to create the art.

 We are in a great  hurry to change things that we become impatient.  We need to give our thoughts and ideas time to gell  in order  to create clear and established roots to anchor the changes. Often the strongest times to image the changes are before bed and upon awakening.   Change is coming. Will you be patient enough to create your desires?
