Create with me! There is nothing more satisfying than layering up a gel print and taking it in one pull. Learn my real tips in this simple way to build and pull your print in one move. These are a game changer for me, and will instantly improve any monoprinting art you create.
Using a Gelli Plate isn't just slapping some paint down and pulling a print. Not when you want one layered monoprints that have depth, texture and character.
Want to join me for a live hang over on zoom? Leave me a comment below and tell me! I'd love to know what you're struggling with in YOUR crafting and art. Let's chat!
Ask any questions and tell me in the comments how YOU did!!

Also, I love your idea of using 2 gel plates vs having a side sheet for Brayer excess. That’s awesome 🙌🏼

@Amywazwaz06 3 жыл бұрын

I have one gel plate. Seeing her have two made me think I now need two as well.

@terryowenby9507 3 жыл бұрын

I love your technique of using two plates at the same time and taking the extra paint from plate 1 to start another print on plate 2! Genius! Thanks for the inspiration!

@westcat54 3 жыл бұрын

This is one of the best beginner tutorials I have seen on using a gel plate. Actually, I'm not a beginner and learned a number of great tips so let me say it is one of the best overall tutorials on the gel plate. :-) I would love a Zoom hangout if the time works. Thanks so much.

@barbaracabrera207 3 жыл бұрын

WOW!!! Great prints. I've never heard anyone talk about the things you mentioned about gelli printing. I learned more in this one video, than all the other ones put together!!! I'm new to your channel, and excited about watching more. I don't have a gelli plate, and have never done it. But after this video, I feel I can do it. The gel plate and paints are not in my budget right now. But I've been buying couple paints each month. So it will be soon. I just can't believe how different your knowledge & processes are than anyone else has explained. I've done mostly crochet, sewing, and needlework all my life. But I just started doing junk journals 4 few months ago. So now I'm dyeing paper, and using paints. So a WHOLE NEW WORLD has opened up to me. Its nice to have some good knowledge before you start,..... just so you don't have to figure everything out the long way, by yourself. That can be frustrating. I didn't even think about building layers and that what goes on gel plate first, ends up on top of paper!!! It should he common sense. But I didn't think of it. Light bulb just went on!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH for taking time to explain these basics. I really appreciate your teachings!!! Thank you for the video. I'm subscribed and got the bell on. So I can follow your channel now. Plus, you are so fun to watch, and relaxing to listen to. Austin,TX USA

Thank you for that Melanie! Art is so much about feeling for me, I think that's what I love about it so much. So many people focus on the end result, that they forget about the little steps and nuances along the way. I love those little moments. Thanks for watching and leaving me a comment. 😀😀🎨

A video about good paints to use would be invaluable to someone who is just starting with plates (like me). TFS!

Thank you Liz! That means the world to me. Yes, art is about a feeling, techniques are great, I use them all the time, but they are just the tools to help us breathe our emotions and life into works that connect with those we love, including ourselves. I wholeheartedly believe that. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. I just filmed the video that uses that print yesterday, I'm excited to get it up later this month. I like to think she's smiling somewhere thinking about the art, and us. Much love! 😍😘🎨
