    I purchased a gel plate and did a few (6) tests experimenting with color and misc textures. It just didn’t spark my enthusiasm. Actually was thinking of gifting my gel plate to a fabric artist friend UNTIL I saw you video. Thanks heaps for the ideas and demo. More my cup of tea!

    I was so inspired by this video that I found an old pair of pants, cut them up, and stuck a paintbrush in the pocket to make a very fun print. Also added some cardboard lines and mark making. Now I'm roaming around the house looking for potential print subjects! What fun!

    I looooooove industrial looking art. When I was able to walk and bend down without falling, I would pick up old nuts, bolts, small springs, small metal clasps, etc. and draw those and use them in mixed media pieces. I gotta get back into this, but with a Gelli plate too.

    SPECTACULAR use of found objects on the gel plate. I always love the ways you push technical approaches beyond the first idea, and far beyond the obvious. These are wonderful images and fascinating insights into the potentials of common items. The Interwebs will forever be grateful to you for moving the discourse on found-object printing beyond the ubiquitous repeat patterns of corrugated board and bubble wrap. Beautiful, evocative, and clever results!
