When you use too much paint, just do a quick pull with another piece of paper & just press it down gently. It will pull off some of the paint & leave the rest. Creates cool grungy texture too. I actually loved the orange wavy one that you covered up, but I do like lots of them. You could also use a posca pen or black pen to outline the shapes on the ones you thought were boring. Or just add a layer of stamping 😊

This experiment was so much fun to watch. I love gelli plate printing. Your more monochrome ones with texture are my favourites, especially the bright orange with circles (unusually for me) and the ones with the strips. I did laugh when you put the envelope down on the wrong side, and when you almost did it a second time.

My favourites were the three you chose as well. In the same order. I have never thought of using a strip of paper to leave a white space when I do my envelopes! I use them to actually mail to people, so I add a white label on top of the paint, but it would be more simple to have the white space on the actual envelope! I am going to try that when I do my next batch. I had a lot of fun watching this! 😀

@lightbulbnirvana Жыл бұрын

Hello Barbara! Each of these envelopes have their charm. And for the ones that are slightly off, you could always resuscitate them with stamping on them with your handmade stamps (without the gelli plate) Maybe add metallic gold to the black envelope so it is not the black sheep of the flock? To make the coat thin, you might try traditional ink printing and use a piece of glass to the side to apply the paint from the tube and breyer on the glass and then transfer the breyer to the plate that way? If the paint dries too quickly you could get some acrylic medium as well to slow drying, which will also thin the paint a little or make it transparent? I love watching the gelli process, it's very suspenseful and then always is a surprise finish! Thanks for doing this! Cheers! ❤

@allisonjames2923 Жыл бұрын

Gelli printing is awesome! And as long as you use thin layers & work either from light to dark or dark to light, you’ll get great results. Also worth knowing which of your paints are transparent & which ones are opaque, as that will affect the outcome. And remember, if you aren’t happy, it just isn’t finished yet 🤷‍♀️ Enjoy! PS welcome to the Gelli plate addiction!

@mariannebagliani3767 Жыл бұрын

So much fun watching you experiment with this medium. Working with acrylic paint which dries waterproof can make it tricky to work quickly before it dries, especially in such thin layers. Perhaps having a very fine misting bottle of water at the ready could keep the paint active before pulling the print. Too much water however can make the paper slide- more experimenting! 😄

@papierandcakes2159 Жыл бұрын

Dear Barbara, l couldn’t choose a particular favourite as l loved each one for itself. At a pinch, it was probably the green one 🤷‍♀️, go figure. Thank you for experimenting in real time for us and for leaving in all the steps. It helps us to learn by watching you. Gelli printing is most likely the biggest nightmare for us perfectionists. I find that nothing really turns out even remotely like l imagined it would 😂😂😂 By the way, l lost count ….. 🍷🍸🥃🍺🥂🍹🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍸🍹 😉 Have a beautiful day and weekend, Barbara 🇦🇺

If you add a little cardboard tab to the back of your homemade stamps with some sticky tape, you’ll find it easier to pick them up. And a Gelli print is never ruined - it just isn’t finished yet if you don’t like it & needs more layers of contrasting colours

Moin Barbara! Ich liebe deine Gelli printing Videos! Es ist beruhigend zu sehen, dass nicht nur mir, nach so vielen Versuchen mit der Gelliplate, noch immer die gleichen Missgeschicke passieren; du hast immerhin daran gedacht, dass Spiegelverkehrt gedruckt wird (-; Ich verwende gerne die goldenen Toffifee Schalen zum Drucken. Das Plastik ist elastischer, als die Schälchen die du verwendet hast, und ergeben dadurch beim Andrücken einen besonderen Effekt. Ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Gelli Print Video.
