Hello, i have to say your gelli prints are beautiful! You are inspiring me to do collage though i am a wildlife painter. Your videos are very helpful, and i love the way you express yourself.
Oohhh. You have just popped up on my feed, and I loved your video showing the process of selecting your papers. Now I’m going to have to check out all the other parts. Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi! Thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful work and your techniques! I am really enjoying your videos! I am also wondering what kind of tissue that you are printing on? The sheets seem very smooth, flat and strong.
The tissue I am using is Art Spectra white tissue. It is acid-free and quite a bit stronger than dollar store tissue. I am in Canada and it is readily available here. Having said that, it is still delicate when wet. I have just ordered some of Carnival's Wet Strength tissue to try out. I find each new material brings new possibilities!
I use the Spectra Art Tissue. It is a bit stronger than dollar store tissue and is acid free. In Canada it is available through Staple online or Amazon. In the US it is available through art supply stores and through Amazon. In the UK, it may be harder to get but then you can get Carnival Wet Strength tissue which works very well.
Sometimes when I am "cleaning off" the background (negative prints) I grab a tissue with something on it already, often something faint. Sometimes a sheet that I don't see much value in. So basically recycling. Sometimes when I do that I get something quite interesting and it goes in the Stash.
I am working on a new series of videos which will include making my own tools. Included will be cardboard stamps as well as creating my own stencils. Stay tuned!
Hi Alicia. This video is #5 of an 8 part series. I have uploaded #6 just now and am editing #7. The last video I have to record so it might be a few more days. Glad you are enjoying the videos!

Gorgeous stash. I wish we were neighbors! My stash is in under the bed storage bins made for blankets.
Great storage idea! I will have to get some blanket bins for when I need more space in my studio.

What is your favorite tissue paper?

I'm curious - why do you print on both sides?
Sometimes when I am "cleaning off" the background (negative prints) I grab a tissue with something on it already, often something faint. Sometimes a sheet that I don't see much value in. So basically recycling. Sometimes when I do that I get something quite interesting and it goes in the Stash.
@@KitBellArtist Thank you.
Do you have a video on how you make your cardboard stamps?
I am working on a new series of videos which will include making my own tools. Included will be cardboard stamps as well as creating my own stencils. Stay tuned!
