Very useful info. My old boyfriend always said, “take care of your tools and they’ll take care of you”. My clamshell actually left a mark on my plate. At first I was annoyed and bought another plate and same thing happened. It just gives my prints character.

@CeriGriffiths Год назад

Definitely.

As I am new to the Ceri Griffiths creative world, I wanted to tell you how much I have been enjoying your videos and the depth of your explanations. Very well done, and so much fun listening to your stream of conscious thoughts. I look forward to going back through your videos and finding many hours worth of mixed media process and advice!

Thank you Terri and welcome to my channel, have fun.

So useful to actually see how to clean and condition.

@CeriGriffiths Год назад

I’m sure there’s other ways but this works for me.

@susananderson8428 Год назад

Great info. I just played with my 5X7 and realized i need to oil it. Somehow we must be on the same wave length! Storage containers and now conditioning gel plates! Thanks for sharing. You do beeautiful work, very clear explanations and i am very thankful, as a beginner, to hear your thoughts and your "formulas" for ephemera. It's not as easy for me to figure out things as when i was much younger. When someone has a plan, no need to reinvent; just modify and make it your own.

When I first discovered the art of gel printing, I thought my granddaughter would enjoy creating using the plate. But they were quite expensive. I watched videos on how to make your own. So I gave it a try. It turned out well & she did enjoy making prints with it. I need to dig it out & give it a try. Thank you for caring for it.

Brenda I’m not sure this will work on a home made gel plate.

Thank you so much for making this video, it’s by far the very best video I’ve seen on this topic! It’s very interesting to see all the different sizes & shapes & I’m pretty sure you’ve covered all the beginning info! Now I’m going to watch more of your videos using the gel plates! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods, it’s hotter than Hades in the US Midwest! Erica❤

Ceri, I love that there is a reason for everything you do! I was aware of the cleaning technique, however, the conditioning was brilliant. I live in Arizona where the humidity is normally very low and everything dries out quickly. I’m sure that your suggestion about buying a 5x7 inch gel plate as a first purchase was helpful to so many people. Thank you for your very thorough explanation in all of your videos. 😊🐾🌵

Brilliant tutorial, thanks so much Ceri. Enjoyed this so much. p.s. I like a clean plate too, and a clean brayer. I've been using cut up old terry towels (damp) to clean my brayer while my print is drying and love that method!

@shaheenamjad-ali6858 Год назад

Thanks for the detailed demonstration! I am definitely not as good at storing my plates, but i do periodically condition them, usually when i have stubborn paint that just won't lift off. I have painfully discovered from various intensive craft sessions that I am allergic to mineral oil😢, so I carefully glove up before massaging it into my plate, but it's doable. I also sometimes just wash my plates in the sink with soapy water first 😉.

@CeriGriffiths Год назад

I used to wash mine in the sink also to clean them

@amyrugala246 Год назад

Thank you Ceri! I have a huge bubble in my 12x12 and think it is ruin. I know it must be from the way I store it. This video has been very helpful ❤️

@jesseb5112 Год назад

Have you watched Carolyn Dube's video about getting bubbles out? It might help. Can you flip your plate over and use the other side?

The gel plate companies say there is no reason to condition a plate….I disagree and so do many others as it improves the quality of your final pulls.

@annierodenberg2327 3 месяца назад

My gel plates are so bad with paint stuck to the surface. I placed the plate in my sink with warm water and poured on Murphys oil for a good soak. All the paint and grime came off. I am wanting to oil both sides of the plate with baby oil. Before cleaning the plate I could not get a good pull at all. Wish me luck! Love your channel

@CeriGriffiths 3 месяца назад

I’m certain after you’ve used the oil they’ll be like new again.

@marciasilviajohnson6461 4 месяца назад

Thank you to share I just got my plate and I wondering where you got our storage box for the plates?

@CeriGriffiths 4 месяца назад

I ordered mine here in Britain from eBay, however if you look for 12x12 scrapbook storage boxes you’ll find something similar I’m sure, just make sure the base of the box is smooth so that it doesn’t indent your plate. In this video I think I show them in detail. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HgNtnzUWaag.htmlsi=qTWawvNctGnrl6Bt

@cindyburst Год назад

Hi Ceri. thanks for this video. I have been kind of afraid of my jelly plate. So this helps me to know that I can help them if I mess them up to a certain extent. If you know what I mean. I do have an issue with it in that when I grayer the paint on it seems to bead up sort of. You may have answered this in a previous video but since I am a new subscriber I haven’t gotten to that one yet. Is there something I should do or certain brands of supplies I need to keep this from happening? Have you heard of this before? Thanks for all you do it’s been wonderful to find you!

@CeriGriffiths Год назад

Hi Cindy, beading of paint on a gel plate usually happens when you have a high flow or thinner consistency of paint, it can also happen if you’ve got residual oil on your gel plate. And then there are some mediums that just bead. You’re not doing anything wrong.

@YooperGranny Год назад

Wonderful video. Curious about the releasing of oil on the first prints you pull after conditioning. Do you do a pull with no intention of keeping it?...let it sit a bit on the newly conditioned plate so any excess oil may come off on that trial print? I like the baby oil, too, but I didn't condition both sides so that was new information for me. I will look into those storage containers to keep my plates safe. Thank you Ceri!

@CeriGriffiths Год назад

Joan I normally condition my plate at the end of a session so normally any excess oil has been absorbed by the time I use my plate next.

Hi Ceri, good information. What do you think about using, tissue paper, wax paper or parchment paper for the storing? My regular copy paper isn't big enough to cover my gel plate.

@CeriGriffiths Год назад

Tissue paper might tear if it takes on excess oil, wax paper should work but be aware it’s not leaving a film on your plate, parchment paper should be fine, you could even use baking paper which comes on a roll.

@sisfidy58 6 месяцев назад

I never would have guessed how EXPENSIVE gel plates are!! While I save my pennies for one (or more), would it be worthwhile to get a smooth surface 18 x 18 inch tile to practice with? Are there any other surfaces that can be utilized that are less costly but give the same result?? Glass, plexiglass??? I made my own Tim Holtz glass mat with a shatterproof shelf (tempered glass) from our old refrigerator, and it's the bomb-diggity!! And it was WAYYY cheaper.

@CeriGriffiths 5 месяцев назад

You can lay paint down on any flat shiny surface, lay paper onto it and then immediately pull it up but you’re not going to be able to leave your paper down to be pulled later. Every surface will give a unique effect.

Hi Ceri, how often would you suggest cleaning the Gelli plate?

@CeriGriffiths 4 месяца назад

Marylyn that truly depends on how often you use it, I use my gel plate on average two days a week but its a full day of working on the plate and then I condition and clean my plate approx every eight weeks.....if I remember. But if my plate is getting really dirty or loosing its stickiness then I'll do a condition.
