I always like the fact that you show us the "Um, could've done better" ones and not just the perfect ones, it really shows others that there is a learning curve to all things we try to do and that we can't be perfect everytime, and as you show us with practice comes perfection. Thank you Gail and Alex.

@meghanphillips3495 Год назад

So true. I've had so many prints come out bad(or at least not how I envision), that I'll find myself getting frustrated, wondering how others make it look so easy. Seeing other people going through the trial and error helps me feel less frustrated and more willing to give it another go and just treat it more like an experiment.

@rockreader4298 Год назад

Indeed! : )

@karenillingworth4937 Год назад

You can stamp on to the gel plate, wait until it dries and then put a thin coat of contrasting colour on top and then lift a print. The wet ‘top coat’ lifts the dried stamping. Beware; gel plates are addictive.

@marymeyer8185 Год назад

Addictive is right!

@Karyn1000 Год назад

Isn't that what they just did?

@karencross1964 Год назад

@@Karyn1000 I think Karen means, the first color is applied to the stopper, then stamp it onto the clean gel plate. Dry, then add contrasting color. It would have a very distinct background color that way.

I was delighted to discover we also have so much art in common too! All of your videos are peaceful and inspiring, and your music choices are brilliant! Well done and lark and art on!

I enjoyed every moment of your new artistic venture into gel printing. The results were stunning. They reminded me of the flags they hang on their clotheslines in Mexico. Always bringing cheer to those that look upon them. My birds singing along with the lovely background music in your vids is always a real treat for them and me. Thank You, Ladies.

@debramoore6318 Год назад

Well done ladies. Even though it appears what you have pressed into the initial paint layer is gone after the first pull, try adding more paint and pulling another print. I've seen gel artisans able to pull several from one impression. It does become quite artsy as you go, but the results are lovely.

I have watched junk journalers do gelli printing, Luise Heinzl and Barbara at 49 Dragonflies, so I was very interested in seeing you use the bottles and bottle stops. Your layering on of two colors was so successful. I can see how what you were doing is more complex than using stencils or stampers because of the glass. You got some beautiful results!

Elizabeth St Hilaire has all gel plate videos. Once you get the hang of it the possibilities are endless!

You both got there in the end and I loved the shimmer it gave, I think these would look cool on t/shirts, I wonder if you could just turn the gel plate with the prints on over on top of material/ T/shirt then roller the back to press it down then gently peel away the gel plate to transfer the print???🤔you could try on an old T/shirt and if it works well get some fabric paints👍🏼

@debbiebunyard4829 Год назад

Great prints ladies. The prints come out better when the paint is dry under the paper when you remove it., or pull the print. One way to tell if it is still wet is, the paper will feel cold. Hope this tip helps. Some amazing gel print artists on RU-vid are Elizabeth Saint Hilaire and Robyn McClendon

@marydegenkolb9603 Год назад

My husband does Gel painting. You need to let the paint dry real good after the imprint. Then, add the other color. Once that is on, and dry to the touch, place a heavy weight on the paper for 30 min. , them peel up the paper. You should get a better print.

There all ways of gel printing. I mostly print on fabric. I slow stitch . So I use the fabric in my stitching. Some times I use ink or fabric paint.

Your prints turned out great. You are quick learners.😊

@MicheleEngel Год назад

Use any acrylic paint. They used an inexpensive brand that you can find at any craft store or even in the art supply section at a Walmart or Target. And, of course, Amazon. There really isn’t a designated “gel paint.” This is a very accessible art print method thanks to the invention of the gel plate (aka gel press).

@katanyajason3316 Год назад

Wonderful!That red and gold one at 16:29 is stunning! Just a couple of tips: avoid using a hairdryer (unless it's on the cold setting) because it can ruin your gel plate. And, if you have an extra plain sheet ready (white or coloured) you can stamp it with your bottle tops once you've pressed them into your gel plate. The impressions are better if the surface under your paper isn't too hard (a magazine or something similar does the trick) Also, I have several gel plates by 2 different brands. The one you have is the less expensive version, and I've noticed recently that after 2 years of constant use, my plates by this manufacture are starting to get really sticky and sort of dissolve, whereas my plates of the more expensive brand are fine. So, 2 years of usage is still pretty good and it may be worth it if you are going to use your plate for just a few projects. But, if you are an artist and plan to use them regularly, the extra spend be might better.

@deedaw9246 Год назад

Here is something to try for fabric. Get heavy paper (we call it cardstock), or even chip board (kind of like the cardboard crackers might come in). Get some spray adhesive that is positionable. Get your choice of fabric (some may work better than other muslin works well). Spray your paper/chipboard with the spray adhesive. Let it dry. Cut a piece of fabric a little larger than your paper. Lay your fabric on the sprayed paper/chipboard. Then lay the whole thing on your design you are printing. I would probably use the roller to really get the paint into the fabric. It would be a more even pressure. Hope Ive explained it well enough. I dont know if the gel pad can only be used with acrylic paints, but you could try inks. I am not sure what they are called. But they are used for printing from linoleum blocks. Thanks for sharing your project!
