4 Mixed Media Gelli Prints, Birthday Edition 

You inspire me. At the old age of 49 I received my Bachelors. Since I finished I became stagnant and unmotivated in my art work, then I found you. Now, at 50, you have inspired me and ignited a small flame that has been dormant for quite some time, and I thank you. I now own a small gelli plate and I look forward to experimenting. You are my Mentor, even though we have never met and live in different countries (I am in New Zealand). Thank you so much for being your unapologetic self. Thank you for inspiring me. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you ..... 😊❤ ..... 🎉🎊 🎂 🎊🎉

The fear of making mistakes is paralyzing. I like the idea of doing warm-up exercises. You are inspirational. Thank you.

Birthday greetings to our sage artist mentor...you are a rare gift to our world

Happy 68, Fulton! What a great way to celebrate...giving to all of us. So generous, you are, friend! 🎉❤

Chopping brush outside, it’s 96 degrees around sundown. This video is great to cool off with. A cold gin and tonic helps, too. Thanks, sir. This made my day.

You're younger than me! Keep on keeping on Fulton!

Your style is so inspirational! It gives me the freedom to express myself and take risks!

Happy Birthday! Thank you for sharing your process with us. Love your videos. I'm learning a lot about printing from them. I'm 74. Never to old to learn new things.

I’m beginning to get it, there are no mistakes just more opportunities 😊

I love your happy birthday prints Fulton 🤗💕 Yesterday I tried gel printing on cheap tissue & it disintegrated, so now I know what to do with it. Thanks so much 🥰

What a great celebration....Happy Birthday to you! Love everything you do!!!!

Such a great party of colors and shapes! Hope you had a very Happy Birthday! 🎂

My favorite, Happy Day!!

Happy Birthday. Art Whisperer! Loved todays session!

They are all so amazing ❤

Happy birthday! I loved the video. You made bold choices that I think turned out really well. I would have been satisfied after the first initial pull- full stop. Have another great year .

Happy Happy Birthday Fulton and thank you for sharing this new video with us. September is a good month for birthdays (mine is later in the month) and fall is the kind of season that brings new inspiration. I liked all four of your prints and I'm glad you shared them with us! I really needed a pick me up today and this was just the right thing...looking forward to the next one and many more to come!🥰

Happiest of birthdays to YOU 🎉😂

Happy birthday Fulton! 🎂 thank you for sharing! ❤

Great pieces, I really like the orange circles at the end. Happy birthday my friend!

Many happy returns of the day! That last ghost print is cool. The layer of paint was thin enough on the right to pull all of those lovely colors, and the thick red layer on the left has your scribble detail. I like it.

Happy birthday Fulton❤🎉 Thanks for sharing your special birthday prints.💫☀️I really appreciate your printing advice and love your art. I started my career in offset printing where I worked for twenty years. I appreciate your knowledge and advice. I hope you had a celebration 🎊

Happy birthday, Fulton!

Happiest of Birthdays, Fulton! 🥳 I so enjoyed this video (piece #2 was my fav this time)-- I must be channeling you cuz I've been collaging with tissue paper on my mono prints. Intrigued by the transparency effects. Thank you for the museum trips--- loved the recent photography museum visit. Wishing you all the best in your brand new year!

Happy Birthday!!❤

Happy Birthday! ❤

Happy Birthaversary!!

Happy 68th Birthday, Fulton! I was just winding down from my own birthday festivities when this came up on my feed- so honored to get to share a birthday with you! You do such amazing work & you've inspired so much of my printmaking exploration to date. Thank you!

Very cool!! Happy birthday!!

Just found your awesome channel. Belated happy birthday wishes🎉

Bedankt

👍👍👍👍

I find your work just breath taking! I especially like the red one. I was curious are you aloud to use acrylic ink on the plate?

I loved this video. Have you considered using a clear acrylic medium when you have a beautiful grunge gel plate to put only the grunge on an existing piece? I love your methods.

Thank you for sharing your techniques and creative processes. Would you please tell what size gelli plate you are using? I would also like to know the size and type of paper you use to pull your prints. The imagery always come out so perfect. The prints I make do not always come out so precise and it becomes frustrating. I am left wondering what could I be doing wrong that causes this happen. You are an inspiration and I'm glad to have found your channel. Thank you again for sharing your creativity with the world. I definitely appreciate you taking the time to do so. 🥰

Happy birthday! Have you ever considered tearing your collage papers?

Great stuff Fulton..very relaxing to watch you ! Some workmen just spilled black paint on my grass today ! it's water based black wood stain ...do you think the grass will be ok ? Looks like an art project at the minute with black blotches on the very green freshly mown lawn !!! Shocking ! i'm worried that the paints shouldn't be wased down the drain ...Is it ok to wash acrylic paint down the drain ?

Nice, thanks for sharing your techniques. Great printmaking style. One question what is it you use for your registration. Can you show us this in a video?

I just love all your demonstration and never miss any. I have a question - what can I use to pull up marks but has no color?? Thanks

Is it just me, but I can barely pick up the paint on the first pull with my gelli plate even after giving It the oil massage technique that you generously shared. Forget about any ghost prints! Is your studio humid or something? I can't seem to get good prints using the same brands you use and different sorts of paper. What am I be doing wrong? Help! Enjoying your vids so much, I have dubbed you Art Inspirerer/Gel Plate Whisperer88. Happy birthday Fulton, and many more happy videos. Thank you. Jennifer

Love to know what kinds of papers you are printing on. Somerset, Fabriano hot press Paper, Dick Blick cold press watercolor paper. These are the ones I heard on some of your videos. Are these correct?

Hello Artwhirperer 88, i really like verry much your work and your videos, very instructive and creative ! I am french and my english is not very performant.. This video don't have subtitles ? The others are very pleasant for me beacause you give a lot of interessant informations.. Please, give me this video with subtitles ! Thanks a lot for all

What kind of stick do you use? Is it a skewer?
