Love your music and love love LOVE the tutorial! I took love doing Nature prints. I hope you're going to use your scrap pieces of painted papers in something! 😊😊❤
O.M.G. This is nothing short of brilliant. Both the negative and the print are gorgeous. I have a fake gelli plate (just a cork sheet inside a sealed plastic bag) but I'm going to try this technique once we get to spring - it was a high of 16 degrees today with -5 degrees predicted for tonight. TFS your breathtaking work!
Depending on how thick the paint is on the gel plate, it can take from 5 to 15 minutes or more to dry. The acrylic paint I use is dries flat (non-gloss paint) so I can see that it is dry when it is no longer glossy. You can also do the knuckle test. When you think it's dry first check by touching it with your knuckle and if it doesn't come up it's dry.
I wish you would have warned people about picking up bird feathers from off the ground\sidewalk; they often carry mites which can cause serious health problems in humans. I had a friend who got mites from picking up feathers for collage; it was a painful and disfiguring problem. She was eventually cured, but it left a disfiguring red puffiness on her face. If you handle bird feather, wear gloves and long sleeves. Put the feathers into a sealable plastic bag, spray with a strong disinfectant that specifies mites, seal bag and leave untouched for at least several months.
LOL . . . Be sure not to touch your jelly with your hands” sounds like something you’d say to a toddler or a young teenage boy a mom is pretty sure is “touching himself” LOL . . . Sorry, never heard anyone call the gel plate a “jelly” and it tickled my funny bone. Great video anyway. I’m saving it to rewatch whenever I’m about to make botanical prints. And I promise not to touch my “jelly.” 🤞
Thank you for an informative, straight forward video without dogs barking, spilling, forgotten materials etc. Refreshing and helpful.
Love your prints and how you deliver content. Clear and not fussy with silly music etc.
Glad you like them!
It does look like a Celtic Cross in that one spot....Love it. Thanks for sharing your talent!

Thank you! I always save my scrap paper. They end up in many of my mixed media projects.

Yikes! It’s cold out there! I’m happy you are inspired! Can’t wait to see what you creat. Stay warm.😊
Very pretty compositions
Thank you 😊❤️
So great! The moss looks very curated which makes a great print. I will start working on that as I don’t think I will find that in nature. Beautiful.
The moss was found growing on some trees in our neighborhood. I flattened them in some books. The paint from printing seems to preserve them.
Verry nice😊
Thank you! :-)
Another beautiful print. Thank you.
Glad you like it! Thanks again!

Great tutorial. About how long did you let the first layer dry? Thanks

How lomg did you let the final paprt sit to lift the print?
On the final lift I give the Bristol paper a good firm rub making full contact with the gel plate and lift right after without any wait time.
Mentally add 10 more thumbs up emojis since I plan to watch it at least that many more times.
So glad you like it. :-)

That said, if you are using feathers in you our design, you can buy feathers at a local craft store or amazon just to be safe.
Whaaaa i didnt know that...

You say “dry waxed” paper. You mean deli paper?

Beautiful!!!
