I’m desperate to try gelatos. Even the names sound so delicious. Sadly budget won’t allow it so I can just took and be jealous!

@dawnesmith-sliming7004 5 жыл бұрын

I love my gelatos. When I want to seal them I put matte medium on a gel plate with a brayer and then press my piece onto it. A good burnish and lift it straight up and it’s good to go when dry. This is a great video showing several ways to use them. TFS

I LOVE your enthusiasm!! Gelatos are so easy to get excited about! I love them too. It great to see how other people use them. I do use the whipped with mine. It truly is a vibrant pigment! Loved your video!

I love the effect created by the coloring medium! I have gelatos, but have not reached them much, since I felt it’s not that versatile, but after watching all of these techniques, I think I’ll start using them again.

@nilly-rosilly3347 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much! I had great fun watching your tutorial! I've had a bit of a problem spreading the gelatos in the past bc they kind of dried too quickly for me. And I often found myself using too much water which only served to fade the vibrancy of some of the beautiful colors. But your suggestion to use gesso has solved this problem for me and now I can enjoy the gelatos more! So thanks again!

@momgib2000 5 жыл бұрын

Put Matt medium on nonstick craft sheet and roll it out with a brayer. Then put your gelato‘ card gelato side down onto the mat medium. Lift straight up. No smudging ;) Beautiful cards!!! I always forget about my gelatos!

I like to play with my gelatos, too. When I want to fix them, or use gesso on a card, I quite often apply the medium to my gelli plate with a brayer, then press the paper surface onto the medium. I can add several thin layers to protect the gelatos without the fear of scraping into the surface or removing any of the colour. It works great!

@Dotalina33 5 жыл бұрын

I just have to say how impressed I am with how you used gelatos. When they were first put on the market I did not in CUNY way come up with your take on them. So to the shelf they went. I have never seen anybody use them as well as you. That flower card is gorgeous, therefore when I get my commitment cards done I’m gonna try again with them. Maybe just maybe I’ll get somewhere! Thanks so much for putting up this tute on them!

Wow, those cards are beautiful.... I was in my local Michael's a few months ago & randomly bought 4 Singles, because they were on clearance...I didn't know why I needed them 🤣 but at the time I had to buy them.... I have used them on a few cards I made. I am only just starting out, and they are nothing like these .. but watching this really makes me want more now.

@harriettezmalloy7182 5 жыл бұрын

So much fun! I love my gelatos. To seal them, use a paintbrush. You can do it with gel medium too, not just the liquid. But as long as your paintbrush is dry the color doesn’t move at all. I put the matte medium on my work surface (not directly on my project) because in my experience it makes them wet & then the color will move. Then I dip my brush in the medium & bring it to the paper. It seals the gelatos wonderfully, & you don’t move or lose any of the color.

Hint to help, water based KILZ is the same thing basically as gesso, saves you a ton of money, I ve used it for years on paper and canvas, a quart for under 9 bucks!!!

Love some of the colors you have created here and I thank you for your video. Happy to finally know how to use all of the gelatos I have that are still brand new. What I have learned here though is that there is absolutely no way I would ever go through all of these steps for a card front...no matter how beautiful it comes out. Thanks for helping me clear out some of my accumulated stash - these are headed to the trash bin right now. Again though, with all sincerity, love what you created. It’s just not for me. I appreciate all tutorials - so much time goes into all of them.

Beautiful cards. They turned out very pretty. When I set my gelatos I do it on the gelli plates. I will in a layer of clear gesso or clear medium and then put the card ontop and roll the back with a brayer. Then if I need another layer I repeat. It works great without the worry of scratching or smearing the gelatos.

I have rediscovered Gelatos and now appreciate them even more than I did a few years ago. I don’t do so much crafting/card making anymore and am focusing on developing my fine art. I do a lot of small abstract pieces and these little gems are so beautiful to make the soft and flowing organic shapes that I love. And the blending and layering is outstanding. They are not lightfast, however, and so I would only reproduce them for prints for work I wanted to sell. I wish Faber Castell would make Gelatos that are lightfast rated with artist quality pigments. That would be great 👍 but they would cost a lot more.
