- Do you love text in Art? Then this video is for you! A detailed video offering you loads of ideas for transferring text using your gel plate.
EXCUSE THE 3 SECOND GLITCH AT 1:22 - SORRY!!!!
Extra tips on using collage to further build layers.
I kind of throw everything at a few example pieces but you can, of course, use any of these techniques in isolation.

Oh my yet more fantastic totally different ideas for the gelli plate. It would be great if you could get a book published with all your creative processes. I would definitely buy it. Thanks so much again can't wait for the next video.
Oh a book is a great idea!
I might just gather you testimonies and approach a publisher! Not sure where I'd get the time though - hard enough getting a video out a week!!!
@@yeatesmakes Yes, everything takes SO much time and creating is the most important.
Do you have any idea how much work it takes to create an art book and how little the royalties are unless you sell millions of them? Better to donate to him here. Then people would want a video of the techniques.
I know a Yorkshire artist does one online pre-recorded/live class per year, charges £885 and has 950 students in it. Do the math. Or, do a series of shorts, put them on your web site and charge 50 quid for a series of 3. I think you'd be shocked at your income.
I have been watching UA-cam videos on Gelli plate printing for months and until yesterday it had never suggested one of your videos. After watching the Matisse video, I immediately subscribed and dove head first into your past videos. Your videos are by far the best Gelli printing videos I have seen, I have leaned so much in just a few hours. I love the way you talk through your process and share your fails and how you turned them around. Thank you!!!
What a lovely comment Robyn, thank you. Really glad you've found some useful information and tips. Let me know how you get on : )
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing. I’ll have to watch again my head is buzzing. 😆
Text is loads of fun with gel plate : ) glad you found it useful
Loving your work, your explanations. So refreshing. You've become the highlight of my week.
That's grand Kerrie, thanks a lot for the comment!
that gel print is amazing. I love text anyway and this has a graffiti look which I also love.
Love text too! Loads of fun to play with
Wow!! Love text and calligraphy elements. Very very cool!!
Cheers Aino, loads of fun to be had with text, can't really go wrong!!
Just purchased a Gelli Plate. And then discovered Yeates Makes. I am enjoying your work and getting a lot of great instruction. Thank you. Keep up the fine art work. 👍
Hope it works for you Thomas, be prepared for lots of T and E : )
I collected lots of letters and numbers today from telegraph poles, manhole covers etc. I've only had time for a quick attempt at transferring them so far but it did work!
H ha, that's so cool! Seriously, keep that wax crayon in your pocket!!!
Truly thank you for sharing your AMAZING ARTISTIC TALENT AND INSPIRATION!!! New subby!! New mixed media gal! @ 66 years old !! Needed something to do during retirement 😂 absolutely magical 👨🎨
Love this comment! GO for it, make loads of mess, have fun and enjoy your retirement!
I LOVE THIS!!! 😃 Watching your videos helps me move outside of my comfort zone creatively. 😉👍🏾💕
Great to know, thanks for taking the time to message 😀
😉👍🏾
Love your work! I create art to cope with the darker aspects of my job in EMS and your video’s and inspire me. Thank you!
Just found you and I have become addicted to watching you ! Thank you for giving me new inspiration
Cheers, welcome aboard!
Love printing with my gelli plate. Thanks for passing on your experiments for adding text
A pleasure Yvonne!
Wow..finished pull reminds me of the weathered billboards you see in New York ..great job !❤️👍
I love those billboards, and old gig posters particularly. Berlin has them everywhere and I was mesmerized!!!
Thank you. So much to try. First step - find my gel plate and collect from stash. Good fun for my rainy day
we love a rainy day!
Brilliant video! I was looking for a "HOW TO" print letters/numbers images on the gelli plate and I found your channel. In a few minutes I've learnt from you so many wonderful techniques... W-O-W!!! I'm amazed by your creativity and super thankful for your uploads!
A pleasure! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Can you hear me sing!!?? Wowing! I just love this so much!
Lol!!! Cheers Karen! : )
Damn that is really cool, that's something you'd see in a west LA Gallery just make them a little bigger "think Big" .
Wow! Loved what you created. Finding text and numbers and doing wax crayon rubbings is a brilliant idea! Heading out today to walk around my neighborhood with fresh eyes and a crayon and paper in my pocket. ❤️🎨
Cheers, will return to this and do a mega text based piece on a large sheet or some plywood... keep that crayon in your pocket wherever you go : )
Finally something new! And graphic . Thanks for the lesson.
Cheers Wendy! : ) appreciated
Cool ideas to play with, can't wait to try 👍
Hope it goes well!
Thank you so much!! Love all the new techniques you have shared!! I can’t wait to play again!
Absolutely loving what you are doing with the gel plate!! Soooo fun and informative. Thank you so much❤️
Delighted you're enjoying the videos Candi and thanks very much for commenting and supporting the channel : )
Ha! You use the same brand of toilet paper as me 😄! Nice to see their cheerful packaging getting some love
Lol!
Making local rubbings brings me back… what a great idea 👍🏼
I know! it's a nightmare, my eye now wanders to odd things to do rubbings from everywhere I go!
I love the variety of techniques you used for these prints, Thank you
Hopefully you can make some of the techniques work : )
Learning sooooooo much from your videos. Can't thank you enough.
That's the news I like : )
That was fun! You really packed this video with so much info. Loved being able to see the various techniques side by side.
A fun one to make, lots of things I'll carry forward into some making!
Wow!, I thought I had explored plenty of techniques using my gelli plate but you have opened my eyes to many more to explore. Thank you. Carol UK
A pleasure Carol, glad you're getting something from vids : )
WOW!! This is a game changer!!! I've never seen text on gel prints!!! I'm VERY new to gel printing. Pull my 1st ever print yesterday! And couldn't stop all day. Got up at night for a drink of water and had to pull a print!
It's addicting. Thank you for a great video. I especially love the telephone pole #'s!! And the sewer plate "WATER"! They look great. I'll be looking for text I can get rub-offs from! TFS. Austin TX USA
So glad I have found your videos, such a fresh take on a gelli plate.
Cheers Sue, good to have you along : )
Omg I have just lost me whole morning sEriously never enjoyed binging videos as much as I have today.. you really have a talent worth bottling..
I have to say my mind is in overdrive I’ve been having a little rest from my art and not a needed or wanted rest either and it’s begun to annoy me cause here in aus we had some torrential rain and the concrete in my art space is not sealed so I been dealing with moisture and mould and I’m so over that process I just wanna create. but wow you have inspired me to finish putting everything back in my art room and get back into my experimenting phase which with the last few hours of your brilliant tutorials I will have no problem doing. especially clicked with the procreate tut on stencil making that’s a must and me gel plate has been placed on me clean desk ready to create a wild mess with text in me prints woohoo and numbers hoping me brother turns up on his bike so I can get a rubbing off his Harley not likely he will let that happen lol in the mean time the wheels of me little car will do for a textured start lol I can see a big night ahead thanks
Thank-you thank you thankyou a whole bunch of em. I think you just transported me into another realm of art I have the jitters in such a good way lol
Hi there, what a lovely message. My only aim is really to offer some possibilities. i know the old creative juices can dry up sometimes and all you need is a little spark or part of a procress to get you moving again. : )
So wonderful and inspiring!!! Thax from Argentina! L.
Thank you for a great presentation. I love the different techniques. For sure I’ll bring crayons and paper next time I’m out hunting for leaves.
Lots of love from Sweden 💖🙋♀️🇸🇪
A pleasure Lillemor. Happy hunting, lots of love back from England : )
Fabulous techniques and ideas. Thanks.
You're welcome Janet, a pleasure.
Loads to think about! So generous of you! Thanks again.
: ) A pleasure Anne : )
Thank you for sharing your experience and amazing skills 👏👏👏. Greetings from Mexico ❤
I love your job! Please put subtitles in Portuguese. You will have a lot of followers in Brazil. We don't have anything about mixed media here, we don't have anything about gelli plate in portuguese. Embrace the artists of my country. I really admire your work. love you
take this tip, please
HI Glaucia - thank you for the lovely message : ) x. Have you tried selecting subtitles and then auto translate to portuguese? Auto translate is found in the settings icon. Please try and let me know what the quality of tranlsation is like - I use this function for videos by a german lady I like.
Great stuff. Learning a lot. I like your style and your videos are enjoyable to watch and listen to.
Cheers Terri, glad you're learning.
You got such a unique style, love it. You got me really into fiddling around with the gel plate. Thanx sooooo much 🥳
Cheers Juttas, glad the techniques helped : )
Outstanding!
I love that I'm not the only one who uses their Who Gives a Crap paper in art! LOL! Loved the video, and really, really love the pace. It was fast enough to keep me engaged and slow enough that I could grasp the techniques easily.
LOL! Knew there would be someone out there using it too!
Love your work and teaching methods.
These techniques are really exciting. I'm curious about applying the print directly to a t-shirt. One comment mentioned if you add fabric medium to the pant and iron after, it should be colorfast.
If love to see you give it a go
Wonderful! So glad I found your channel. You have really stretched the gelli plate - thought I had seen it all, but here you are! Thanks for experimenting and sharing.
A pleasure Jan, thanks for thanks!
More wonderful experiments! Your videos are consistently fun to watch with lots of super ideas. And you’re over 1K subscribers now. YAY!
Ha! I know, what started as a bit of a laugh with my kids has grown pretty quickly! Just delighted people appreciate me sharing some ideas, it's very rewarding and encouraging me to be creative too. Cheers for support Lisa, I know you've been commenting for a quite a while now, it's appreciated that people keep returning to tune in and support.
So many techniques! Thank you!
Your videos make my hands itch to hit my plate thanks so much
Scratch the itch Janet!!!
I really like this video. I learned so much. I can't wait to try it.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you. ☺
Getting some oil pastels can’t wait
You are brilliant! Love the way you work and think through the printmaking process. Love your unpretentious way. Beautiful!
That's a very kind comment Ivana, thank you : )
You are unbelievable! I just discovered your channel and can’t wait to try some of your techniques. You have certainly raised my awareness of what can be done by layering things on a gel plate print. Thank you so very much!!!
Cheers Rene, glad you found me and that videos are of use : )

Too cool! Love the modern look!

I’ve been trapped in a rabbit hole of gelli printing videos for about two or three months now and this is the first video I’ve seen using all these kinds of techniques. I’m fascinated and obviously not leaving this rabbit hole any time soon haha thanks for that
Make sure you come up for air to do some art!!!
@@yeatesmakes Will do, thanks for that reminder!
perhaps you have already thought of this but print some tissue paper using all of these technicians then use them as collage pieces, I love this work you are making and demos are clear and concise again congrats, cheers!
Good reminders Kate, I'll do a tissue paper collage vid soon and credit you fully in it!!! Cheers for all the ongoing support and encouragement - I always look forward to your comments!
Great! It seems so easy when you do it! You are so talented!!!
It's all about the prep!!! Thanks for support : )
Those looked great......really liked all the colors.
: ) Cheers Kim
My god this is so helpful, THANK YOU!!!!!
A pleasure : )
Brilliant- so clear ,down to earth explanations and demos. Thanks
Cheers Elspeth, glad to know explanations are clear
Fantastic! Have to try some of this. Not sure about the drying time, but I love these techniques!!
More experience tells me to leave drying for longer....
Just found you and new subbie.Thanks for sharing your techniques and inspiration.Love the videos as demos.Books are great for sharing your art portfolio but film much clearer to show actual technique.A huge thankyou for sharing x
Hi Tricia, welcome aboard and lovely to have you : )
I love this! Im going to have to try your techniques. Thank you so much.
Very interesting, well done.
These are AWESOME! Super clear instructions and so inspiring. As far as not being sure what you’re going to do with them… personally, I’d slap them into a frame and proudly hang them on my wall!!
Very kind : )
Love these videos. Sooooo inspiring. Thank you. 😊
Another fantastic video with lots of ideas to try, thank you!
: ) you're welcome!
Beautiful work, thank you for sharing!
Thanks Na Talia, and thanks again for sharing my channel!
@@yeatesmakes my pleasure, are you on Instagram?
@@NaTaliia378 Hi there, no, not on IG. Not really got a lot of time for a load of social media to keep track of! I have an old Nokia phone with no internet!! Would hate to part company with it and carry a computer around with me everywhere - too tempting and distracting!!
Blew my mind! I can’t wait to play with my gelli plate this weekend. Definitely going to try and spot some signage to collect rubbings from on my way home from work. Thank you for sharing 💜
You'll get some odd looks!!!!
Your videos are so inspiring 🤯. A big THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge and your techniques. 🙏🏻
Just found you on UA-cam and you are sooo inspiring! love the looseness, no worry on 'mistakes', and all your tricks!! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you've found some useful tips Elizabeth, welcome aboard! : )
You make it look so easy! Well done!
Cheers Lorie, I think most of the techniques here are pretty failsafe, step at a time, you don't need to chuck everything at one piece like i did in the demos!!!
❤️🔥🙌 no words necessary
: ) That's great Beth, glad you liked it
Great Ideas - thanks for sharing them.
A pleasure Celia, glad you enjoyed it

Mesmerised 🤩 That was fab… love the patchwork result and how u mended each one… are you a graphics designer by trade⁉️ and did you study art⁉️
Glad you enjoyed it, a pleasure to share. Not a graphic designer, although I've done a bit here and there. I've studied art and history of art : )
Ive been Geliplating for roughly 8-9 years now but got bored with it because i couldnt get past doing two maybe three layers of paint…..BORING! Lol. But a new group i joined suggested you my friend and im so blooming pleased to meet ya! My names, nickname, is Tibby if we should ever cross paths again. Reckon we will cos i bloody luvs your work! Kudos to ya!
BTW, Im a UKer too!
LOL, lovely message, brought a big smile. Which group did you join? I should give them a mention and thank them for spreading the word. Glad the videos are freshening up some ideas for your gel plate : )
@@yeatesmakes well, heres the thing, i have somehow joined by 2 or 3 groups and i havent a clue of who or which group it was! LMHO!!! I know it sounds crazy but yeah its true. But im sure they would be in their element to have you join. Yeah they would im betting. So watch this space and i will get back to you on who or which one it is! Lol
Ok, ive asked if i can join you, tried to and it wouldnt let me. So i took a photo of the ‘shop front’ of the group and now find here i cant add the photo! Bloody norah! So then Yeatesy its called Gelatin Printing Enthusiasts. Maybe i will see you there? Hope so cos it been lovely chatting wiv ya. Lol
Thanks for sharing these great ideas!
A pleasure!
So great to find your innovative uses for the gelli plate and all the ideas for incorporating collage etc. Very grateful. Have just had a little play with SnapSeed - fun! Thanks for expanding my artistic horizon. I feel more inspired than I have for a long time.
This is great to hear Leesa : )
So many good tips here!
Glad to read they were useful : )
I’m going to download this video so I can keep referring to it. I love the ‘patchwork’ results and the different lettering & techniques. I’d like to add my name to the list to pre-order your first book. 😉
Hi Venta, glad you enjoyed the video!
