Gel Transfer

Here's another first attempt... 

Be careful who you tell your secrets to.

I did this, this morning, using Golden's Gel Medium, Soft Gel (Matte), to transfer an image from a magazine onto watercolor paper, then painted and stamped and wrote on the image.  More craft than art in my estimation, but still - Creative Play, and satisfying.  The message at the top of the image says "Tell a Friend, Tell a Phone, Tell a Community... ".   Often, sad but true.  The other two messages, written in red ink, say "Whispers", and "Hush... don't tell...".  You can barely make out the iridescent gold square stamps, but they are there, and add a nice touch.  So, what do you think?
