I'm betting the issue is more with the white chalk paint. Chalk Paint had a binder added to it . That's why it's used for so many furniture painting techniques. So I think it's binding with the coating on the paper. You didn't seem to have issues with reg acrylic paints. They have the plastic binders in them. I'm thinking that's why the gel medium also stuck. It's got a binding agent added.. it's gotta be reactive to that particular paper... Great video no matter the OH NOOOOs

What I’m learning from PM Artists is that the opacity and transparency are also factors with getting the pull. They prefer using Hammermill 32# paper which I’ve gotten and like. They are also using carnival wet strength tissue paper which is amazing. Great show today. ❤

I have found that cheap paints do not have enough pigment but, a lot of moisture, so the paper tends to stick to the plate. I also do not like chalk paint on it, that’s a bit like using gesso. I just love the prints that pulled the image, even a couple of tears don’t matter unless you want to use it whole. Good collage material! Aloe Vera won’t hurt your plate, I don’t think that is the issue. Always an adventure with a Gelli plate!😁💕🇨🇦

@lindacook3962 5 ай бұрын

Turn the gelli plate and paper over. Pull the plate off of the paper. This is a way to avoid the paper tearing. It works.

@janillingsworth7478 5 ай бұрын

I have had this issue with copy paper too Barbara so I usually use sketching paper or something else like packaging paper, baking paper or even newsprint. Sometimes cheap paints don't have a lot of pigment them, like your first blue paint. Anyway the results are very good. Every gelli plate session I have has those, "oh nooo! ", moments too. Arohanui.❤❤❤

@allisonjames2923 5 ай бұрын

Some cheap paint has a lot less pigment & more filler than others & I suspect that light blue is actually a transparent paint. So when you use a more opaque colour to pull the print, the transparent paint just blends in. Worth doing a sample chart & figuring out which of your paints are transparent / semitransparent & opaque to be able to plan (I’m gradually doing that but I have a LOT of paint 🫣🤷‍♀️. It’s one reason I want to try gel printing with intaglio inks one day. That & you get gorgeous fine definition. She doesn’t use gel plates, but I absolutely adore the monoprint work of Rebecca Vincent. I’d love to adapt her techniques & some of her style to the Gelli plate. I have tried & had some success, but had battles with transparency.

Liebste Barbara, das war jetzt wirklich ein echt spannendes Video für mich, weil ich mit Kopierpapier wirklich jedes Mal haargenau dIesselben Probleme habe. Das Kopierpapier bleibt auf der Platte kleben und mit den 1 Eurofarben klebt es noch heftiger. Dazu kommt tatsächlich dass die Farbe bzw. das Muster verschwindet. Ich nehme die Billigfarben jetzt nur noch zum Stofffärben, das mache ich auch manchmal mit der Gelplatte, denn mit einem dünnen Stoff klappt das meistens ganz gut. Dein Video bestätigt mir, dass die Kombi von Kopierpapier und Billigfarbe nicht funktioniert. Was denn nun die besten Papiersorten für die Gelplatte sind, habe ich auch noch nicht herausgefunden. Bis jetzt nehme ich meistens Butterbrotpapier oder Packpapier. Mich nervt das Geklebe vom Kopierpapier wahnsinnig, weil es so mühsam ist, die Platte wieder sauber zu bekommen. Sketchpapier werde ich auch ausprobieren, das scheint ja gute Ergebnisse zu liefern. Aber du hast ja trotzdem glücklicherweise ein paar tolle Ergebnisse erzielt. Chapeau😊. ❤

30 seconds in and I knew I was going to love this!! I tried gelli printing off and on for years, and while I made some cool patterns, I never really "got" it until I watched a video of Froyle's, and something she said or the way she said it, it finally clicked! I'm half way thru your vid now and have to go, so I'll watch the rest later. I've only ever used cheap copy paper, tho I did just get "wet tissue paper" from Amazon... Have you heard of that? The answer is probably in one of the videos you linked below. I'm proud of your tenacity, baby girl!! Hugs, MomK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗

The next time it starts to rip, turn the gelli plate upside down and then peal the plate off of the paper. Rice paper also work well- strong. Juggles has the Sketch up paper. If you want to use copier paper, use a heavier paper.

Really enjoyed seeing your experiments with the denim. I've used a lot of canvas in the past and now I want to use some denim that was given to me a while back. Those fails are learning opportunities. It happens. Most of the time it has to do with the amount of paint and the condition of your gel plate. Good that you showed adding the oil to the plate, I think a lot of us crafters forget that we have to take care of our tools so that they work! :) I liked that you scanned those prints. I've scanned prints and then altered the hue and got some really cool papers with the same pattern but in many different colorways. Thanks for sharing your play session with us. I know how long it takes to do these gel print sessions and know it can take all day. :) Keep creating. :)

@MeikeEule-jy5bh 5 ай бұрын

I have watched some videos of PM Artists where Pam made layered gelli prints. She puts them aside with the paper on it and lets them dry completely before pulling off the paper. I was able to reproduce that. Maybe that helps…? Apart from really feeling so sorry for your oh nos in this - great idea and fantastic results! 🫶🏻

@franziskawollke6528 5 ай бұрын

Meine bisherigen Erfahrungen mit Kopierpapier, hatten etwas mit der Stärke des Papiers zu tun. Wenn es "dünn" erscheint beim auflegen auf der GP, dann sollte man es zügig abnehmen...sonst bleibt es schnell auf der GP kleben. Manche Farben trocknen zu schnell...da hilft nur ganz schnelles Handeln. GLG Franziska

It's the paint. It has to have some type of glue medium in it. I've had this problem with inexpensive acrylics which have acrylic binders in them and cause the paper to stick to the surface of the plate. It is still a great idea! Great outcome with some paints.

@julia_l-c 5 ай бұрын

I have found that cheaper paint (like the craft paint level) doesn't work as well on the gel plate, like there's extra liquid or some additive (not sure really) that just doesn't cooperate - which also might be why your copy paper is getting stuck, maybe it's soaking up the excess liquid???? I tend to use an average medium weight cardstock (65 lbs - sorry don't know the conversion to gsm) or sulphite paper that's a softer texture and really picks up well on your pulls (90 lbs). But I've never had the extreme sticking and tearing you had, so weird and super sucks! If you figure out why let us know! I've had better luck with knit or fabric impressions when I have higher contrast colors (dark base and light pull color or opposite) to really see the details. When I've used colors too close in value I lose that texture. Yes - lots of experiments to figure out what worked with the different fabrics.

Hallo Barbara, ist die Tube mit der blauen Farbe von Tedi? Diese Farben enthalten nur sehr wenig Pigmente. Deshalb ist diese Schicht zu durchscheinend und kann sich nicht vom Hintergrund absetzen. Du kannst das austesten indem du einfach eine Lage auf ein weißes Papier druckst. Ist der Druck viel heller als die Farbe in der Tube, dann enthält die Farbe sehr wenig Pigment. Beim ersten Druck mit dem Matte Medium war das viel zu viel. Deswegen ist das Papier so durchgeweicht und eingerissen. Für eine A4 Gelli Plate reichen üblicherweise 5 bis 6 Tropfen aus. Ich hoffe meine Infos waren nützlich für Dich😊👋🎨

I love how these worked out! And I already have an A4 Gelli plate in transit that’s due to arrive soon, so am very excited to be able to pull full pages instead of the 8.5 x 11 one I have. My old one has lost a lot of its condition so all my paper that I leave on for longer than a few seconds is sticking & tearing like yours. Your copy paper is wrinkling & tearing because the paper fibres are getting wet & relaxing. You either need to have it on the plate for less time or for longer until it fully dries (which is a pain!). Fan it with a piece of cardboard to help air dry it, or get a little cheap desk fan. And give your plate a baby oil bath overnight a few nights & days in a row. Put a thick layer of oil on & just let it soak in like you did. I put an upside down box over it to keep the dust off while it’s bathing (& give it some privacy 😜). While it keeps soaking in completely, it’s still thirsty. Is this the one you used a heat gun on? The paper itself soaks up a little bit of the oil if it’s left on the plate. You can actually see it if you leave it for too long… not that I could possibly have made that mistake myself or anything 🫣🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I also recommend getting an inexpensive barron to help put even pressure on & pick up prints more quickly. I bought one from Ali X & it works brilliantly! Great for applying pressure on stamps & stamping platforms too 😁 So glad you didn’t give up.
