Join me as I explore the use of color using collage, gel plate papers, stencils and so much more.
Using Different Papers on your gelplate
In this video I go over using different papers while printing with your gelplate. Some papers tend to be more fragile then others depending on how much paint you use. I show deli paper vs tissue paper and rice paper vs copier paper. I got a little long winded and I do tend to enjoy the experimenting process but I do think there is some good information in there and it may spark some creativity in you. I encourage you to use this as a jumping off point and try to use different papers while finding some new techniques along the way.

Card Board Book Part One
Переглядів 1,6 тис.8 місяців тому
In this video I share with you a tutorial on altering a child's cardboard story book into a book filled with your gel prints. Because of the thickness of the pages, the books become excellent surfaces for collage and doodling with paint pens and markers. There is no fear of a warped page or ink bleeding through to the back side of the page. Supplies needed: Child's cardboard story book, Modge P...

Hi I would like to know how to clean the gel? I don’t speak English very well. I hope you understand. 😊
@@Joane202 I use baby oil or mineral oil to clean the gelplate.
@@FMDDESIGNS thank you so much 😊
Nice! I would not have expected the durability of the deli paper and tissue paper.
Thank you so much! I am just beginning and this was so helpful!
I am so glad it was helpful to you. Sometimes I wonder if I am just droning on and on with things that I find interesting. ❤
Doing what we are gifted at is often like that-casting bread upon the waters and not having any idea where it floats to or who it feeds. Do not feel alone. Generosity, kindness, joy and delight are all VERY good bread to be casting. May it return to you a hundredfold. I enjoyed all of it. Can’t wait to try it so I’ll be ready for what’s next on the menu.
Excellent video! You have the most gorgeous collages. My mouth dropped when you showed a glimpse of a finished product. Absolutely amazing! I love the gelly plate, but you have given me a new way to approach them when you talked about how you layer them in your art. I would really love to see this process in action. I am probably one of the biggest fans of your stencils. I love mid century modern and I’m so happy to see an artist create stencils that embrace that era. Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to make this video. Now I’m going to go look for more of your finished pieces.🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for your kind words. I have been meaning to add my more modern works to my website for months and keep putting it off. Not sure why, I think I have a hard time letting them go. If you subscribe to my newsletter on my website I will be sending out an email when that happens. Thanks again ❤
There is no reason you should get rid of something you worked so hard on. In a way it is a part of you. It’s obvious the process you go through to bring your babies to life is not quick or easy. I have made a lot of gelly prints, but have never thought of layering in the manner in which you do. Thank you for sharing.
If you don’t want your colors to run or reactivate, spray them with some kind of sealer
Thanks for the tip. I think I have tried a KAMAR Varnish before but not just a clear coat. I will try.
You have a very pleasant manner and are very comforting to watch - I like your style
Thank you for your kind words.
I heard that Mod Podge has a strange smell. Is this true? Have you used Liquitex Matte Medium? If so, which do you find works better?
I have used both and you certainly can use a matte medium. If you do use a heavier gel medium. The craft paper is a heavy paper and needs a heavier glue. With all that said I don’t think modge podge has a funny smell 😂. I use modge podge a lot. But for something I am thinking I will resell I use more expensive products.
@@FMDDESIGNS Thank you for clarifying’ Perhaps I’ll use my little bottle of Mod Podge that I bought at Dollar Tree!
wow. anyone who sees my work with bottles thinks i know everything creative,,but this i never thought of....love it and will make these. thanks for posting.
Beautiful, creative, and inexpensive technique!
Thank you. ❤
Love this! So pretty.❤
Love these books well done very helpful to see mistakes as we all do them. Beautiful prints love them xx
thank you so much.
Would glazing it in matte medium or gesso help seal it before the first use?
Not sure, I haven’t tried that. But the less glossy the better, in my experience.
That was awesome! Thank you for sharing! You are inspiring me to go out and buy new supplies and give this technique a try. ❤
Have fun!
Can you show us a finished version?
There are finished versions at the start of part one of this tutorial.
I am always inspired by your videos! Thank you!
amazing😊
Thanks 😊
Thanks so much! Just started printing yesterday. Watching everything g I can and your video is inspiring to help me think differently.
Wonderful! Have fun.

Tha🎉nk You‼️💐 . Looks great and effective. 👌♥️Toom@CapeTown
Awesome can’t wait to try it thanks for sharing
Ok You have inspired me again! I’m going to need to try this too! Especially with the prints I make from your stencils! ❤❤ Your videos are great! Clear conscience and really easy to follow. The sandpaper with the sanding block is a great tip! I can see all kinds of uses for this especially mounting paper of any kind where you need a clean edge, I cut my paper short too often 😂
Thanks Millie. I do use that sanding method when I adhere my collages to artist wood panels as well. ❤
Thank YOU for showing me how it's done in a simplified--yet ingenious technique! And I just happen to have many of these cut-out shapes, such as butterflies! 🎯👏👏👏🍐🍎🦋💜
You are so welcome! Butterflies would be awesome for this. Have fun ❤️
I love your work and the stencils you have created are stunning. Have you got a link please to the brown craft paper you use?
200 Pack Brown Craft Paper for DIY Projects, Classroom, Letter Size Kraft Paper Material Sheets, 130gsm (8.5 x 11 In) a.co/d/bxEokCD Here you go. 😊
Thank you so much. I did log on to order your stencils but unfortunately Joggles don't deliver to the UK 😪
Thank you!😊

Beautiful art; thank you!😊

So good!
Thank you ❤
Love those stencils/masks! Really great prints. TFS.
Thank you! I have a line of them coming out through joggles.com soon! ❤
How did this only get one like? ( by me)
Beautiful!
Thank you ❤
Do you use a low or high temperature glue gun?
It is a high temperature glue gun, but I'm not sure it would make a difference.
I loved this! Just found and subscribed to your channel and hope to see more great projects and ideas with gel printing.
Thank you! ❤ I will do my best.
I just bought two Coleus plants just for this purpose, when the fall leaves are gone I'll be able to make prints. I love how you used light base and darker top layer, this was great to see. Thanks
Very cool, totally enjoyed this. Thanks. Going to give this a go today.
Super fun idea
Really enjoyed seeing this. I've made masks w glue gun, but never thought of texture plates. Will be giving this a try today. Thanks so much!
You are welcome. ❤ Have fun with it. I too have made masks with the hot glue gun. I’ve gotten some lovely effects.
Love these techniques! Especially the last one, with the stencil ♥️💜
Thanks Millie, that last one is my favorite too! ❤ I wanted to share this technique before my stencils/masks come out so I can show some fun ways to use them. ❤
I did not expect the last one to work, but it worked beautifully!
