After my exploration of collage and drawing a pair of Rosy Bonnet mushrooms on Monday, I decided to try an ink doodle with Micron pens:
Next, I made a stencil of the mushroom from my pencil drawing. I wanted to use it in my Gelli-plate printing.
I decided to make a stencil of each shape with card stock and a plastic material (it is made for creating quilt patterns but I thought it might work):
Both worked for these fungus prints but I liked the results with the card stock the best. It was less slippery on the Gelli-plate and left less lines around the stencil on the prints:
It was fun trying both positive and negative shapes on deli paper and vellum paper:
I can even use the leftover card stock stencil in my art journal…
But that is fun with fungus for another day!
I hope I inspired you to explore mixed media in a subject you enjoy.
Cheers! π
I like the shadowy shape. And your doodle mushrooms would make fun houses for elves! (K)

You did inspire me. I recalled the foam stamps that I made to use with hot wax and batiks. My thoughts went to making stamps for my watercolors. Background stamps.
