Thanks so much, Cynthia!

Maybe it's yours! I found it at a thrift store (Goodwill)

Thank you, Bernice! I appreciate the feedback, it is a common creative challenge for me, I so often think I want to make it better, but it was great as it was, and trying to make it better makes it worse…teaching moments that happen time and time again!

Thank you, I got lucky with this one!

Thank you!! 😊

Thanks very much, Carrie!

Carole, thank you, it's a lot of fun, combination treasure hunt and spontaneous beauty creation!

Thank you Theresa, I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment!

Thank you Jill, I was just delighted to find the butter dish and then by how the print turned out, it's the fun and magic of the gelli plate!

Thank you Kate and happy hunting!

Thank you Madeline!

Thanks very much, Deborah!

Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to comment and I am delighted you are feeling inspired!

I love that, yes, thank you!

Ah, thank you, may the repurposed glass angels bless you with an awesome find very soon!

lol, nostalgia at it's best! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Oh my goodness, Kathy, bust that thing out! There is a learning curve, but I am absolutely in love with what can happen on the gelli plate, it's magic!

Thank you Linda, great suggestion! I've purchased the Play Doh and ready to try that, I will update everyone as on the results!

Thank you, Vivian!

Another great question, Vivian! Again I will mention I have heard other artists use Murphy's Oil Soap to soak stencils, but that did not work for me. I use a combination of 90% alcohol and Dawn dish washing soap in a cookie sheet (so wide, long and shallow) to soak stencils and/or glass pieces when I want to clean them. You can be scrupulous about your stencils and rinse them after each use, but I usually get to printing and use the stencils MULTIPLE times in a session and finally when they have too much build up to pull a great print, I have to soak them, and with some time in the alcohol/soap mixture, the paint will rub off the stencils/glass. Sometimes a subsequent spray of alcohol is necessary to get the crevices in the glass clean, but tbh, I am not using my glass pieces for serving food, only printing.

Vivian, thank you! Dorland's wax is an excellent topcoat for watercolor! Since these are acrylic, I spray varnish them with Winsor & Newton General Purpose Matte Varnish Spray, two coats, thank you for your question!

Great questions Vivian! Yes, you can either assemble a collage with your rice paper gelli prints (see Gelli Print Dragonfly Collage Art - ruclips.net/video/081YLYf8_3o/видео.htmlsi=cw-K0Gnz6M9C-8ok OR, you can print on heavier stock (HP Premium 32 Copy Paper works best for me) and mount it to panel - see it in Adding Gelli Plate Dragonfly Art to Panel)...ruclips.net/video/IWM_WTl6vUk/видео.htmlsi=VJEKeWw6pjxE5Y3D hopefully those will cover your questions!

Hi Linda, thank you for your questions, these are important things to know! I will answer and also refer you to my "Gelli Plate Basics" video ruclips.net/video/TarWhnNE3fw/видео.htmlsi=SZ4XIWkGGfzXdg5g I only have success PEELING paint off my brayer, which doesn't always work but is better than the alternative, which is to soak it, some say in Murphy's Oil Soap, overnight (which has never worked for me) or alcohol (which dissolves acrylic paint) but both of those require time and scrubbing...what a mess! You will see how easy peeling is and you have basically a brand new brayer when this is complete. The gelli plate should be treated from time to time with mineral oil, it seems to refresh the plate, and then you can wipe that off with a baby wipe. Best of luck to you, the gelli plate is a magical creative tool!

Mary Ellen, thank you your comment/compliment brings me cheer on a dark day!

Thanks so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks very much!

Thank you, Gwen! It was fun using the aloe blossoms from my yard...they are gone now, but live on as a gelli print!

Thank you, Kathleen, that is much appreciated!

That is great information, thank you!

Lesley, thank you, noted!!! Easy to avoid that selection of music for the future!

Thanks so much, Gwen!

Thanks so much, Vivienne!

Madeline, I’m so glad, thank you!

I like your technique. What kind of paper do you use?

@@VikkiReed Thank you!

Thank you, I love knowing that, I appreciate you taking time to leave a comment!

I agree.

@@jelee5240thank you, I appreciate the feedback!

I appreciate your concern for Sammy! Being a feral cat, he chooses drinking water away from his food, which is in the kitchen. I can assure you that the water he is drinking is clean…paint and poison free. I am very careful to keep it that way!

Thank you, Denise!

Thank you so much, Gina!

That’s so great! I’m glad it’s being shared in the schools!

Heather, thank you, I’m so glad you find the videos helpful! I feel the world is a better place when we spend some time creating!

Thank you, Lynne!

Ah, thank you! I’m delighted to hear you were successful! Keep going!

Thank you!

Oh me too! I don’t know how to work with the very high humidity and experience what you are experiencing as well…it is frustrating! But I’m too hooked on Gelli Printing to quit, lol

Thank you, Heather! I talk to the paint and the paint talks to me too, lol!

Thanks very much for watching and commenting, sometimes it takes me a long time to get to the place where I'm happy with a painting, and when that happens it is cause for celebration!

lol, widely available, Joe...Amazon, Cheap Joe's, Dick Blick's, it's a gelli plate (or gel press plate) I'm using a 5" X 7" here, but you can get an 8" X 10" and/or larger too. They're a lot of fun!

Thank you Robert!

Thank you! When it works it is magical and thrilling!

Sandra, thank you so much!
