Do you really know how much you are appreciated by your viewers? I cannot thank you enough for all of the time and effort you spend making your videos and experimenting with gelli plate techniques. You are brilliant!
That is such a kind message Cheryl. Such a pleasure to share - I honestly had no idea the channel would grow into what it has so far and, by some of the messages, I am getting a feeling of how appreciated my expreiments are! It's amazing that people will be prompted to dust off gel plate or try something new in art as a result of a video I make. Thank you, for always leaving such enthusiastic and encouraging messages x
I completely agree Cheryl!
Exactly, Cheryl. So good.
Ta da indeed! Thanks again for another inspiring video.
So very creative and inspiring!!!
Each of your vids has so many techniques that are explained remarkably well and clear. Ballpoint emboss. Brilliant! TY
Hi, your demonstration s are great. I like your simple and to the point! Thank you. I enjoy watching you freely trying different techniques without a bunch of BS.
You really a terrific fella. I'm absolutely loving your tutorials, your down to earth honesty, encouragement, inspiration, artistry - everything. You are a breath of fresh morning air and a big burst of sunshine. Thankyou 🙏❤
So kind Jules, thanks. Really pleased you are enjoying the tutorials and my approach. : )
Thank you so much for all the fantastic ideas you present. This video, like all your other vids, is totally inspiring and makes the creative wheels turn and turn.
Fantasitc, let me know where the techniques take you : )
This is amazing! Thank you for your content. It’s so hard to find “real” uses for a gel plate.
Complete new way for gel printing! I am thrilled 🙂 thanks for sharing!
Sir,over and over your instructive videos are just FABULOUS!!! Thank you so very,very much!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Lovely comment melissa, thanks : )
Just popping in to say thanks for your videos, and also, I wanted to say that you are really adding some great new techniques to the body of knowledge of gel printing!
Cheers Lori - have just kind of stumbled into it without realising what i was doing was in any way out of the ordinary!
Please keep stumbling, Mr. Yeates! 😁
Clever idea! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
I appreciate the grunge. So tired of pretty. Thank you for your generosity; learning lots.
Quelle créativité ! J'apprends beaucoup de choses 😊
Better than sliced bread ... I've been doing multi, multi layer prints and your techniques are very helpful ... thanks!
Woaaaahhh, not sure I could live up to that one :D
This is freaking amazing! Love all your techniques. I tried this today and cheated a little bit by using transfer paper under my image. It transferred the lines perfectly and then I went over them again with pen. Turned out fabulous. Thanks again!
Hey Luann, there's no cheating in Art - you do what you need to to enjoy the process and stay motivated. Glad the technique worked for you - honestly, it's so gratifying when I hear viewers make the techniques I share their own : )
Okay, that was amazing. Especially the final portrait with the tissue paper shirt. Thank you, THANK YOU for sharing these videos.
I have spent quite a bit of time watching different gel plate videos. Your’s is the most unique, creative, truly artistic work by far. Thank you for sharing your learning and techniques. I need to watch each several times to get a better understanding of how you “pull it off” (pun intended).
Hi Libby, really kind words. Great that you can rewind and re-watch, I think that is why video is such a good format for teaching. With all the feedback, I'm getting my head around the pacing to make it clear but not eat up your days!!! Happy printing : )
After many failed attempts I finally got a pretty good result this morning (after leaving overnight). I used the chinagraph pencil over a photocopied image and the text embossing with a pen. The amount of paint, pressure, paper types for which jobs and just how long to leave it for are a bit tricky but I'll persevere! This result has me pleased enough to want to keep experimenting. Your unconventional use of the plate is so refreshing and inspiring. The possibilities are a joy to ponder 👌 Thank you. Very grateful. From Brisbane QLD (thank the goddess for technology!)
Pleased you're getting somewhere with the techniques Leesa. Hope you're enjoying summer : )
Loved this technique. I find your direction very helpful.
I am going to try this on fabric as I like working with fabric and thread. I did your emboss method where you did a wax rub over a toad linocut, mine was a rubber stamp of a bird and I used acrylic paint mixed with Golden GAC-900 Fabric PrInting Medium , an approx 1: 1 ratio on my small round Gelli plate. Very approx as this was just an experimental piece. I used a piece of cotton/polyester fabric, from a ripped up duvet and the image transfered remarkably well. This idea is is going to give me a lot of inspiration and I keep looking at my bird and smiling. So thank you for these videos, I have become a new subscriber and am going to work my way through them and try incorporating some of them into my fabric pieces. It was pure chance I discovered your channel and very pleased I did. You are an excellent tutor by the way, making it easy to follow your guidance.
Hello there, this sounds like loads of fun. will definitely get some fabric medium. Cheers for feedback and encouragement : )
This is so cool, thank you very much for sharing your technique.
Great work! Love this. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experimenting.
Love, love, love your channel! Soooo inspiring!

I love this technique. Thx!
Me too!!!!!
Really loving your classes…….I see that all your transfer techniques are done with a laser printer……I can transfer with my ink jet printer. Dry successfully using professional business paper. I have a very cheap hp6055 and it works perfectly on a black and white setting….if I could post a picture I would show you but the comments box does not allow for pictures…..any way thanks a million for all your great geli plate ideas……I am learning so much. The snap seed app that you recommended in marvellous.
send pics to my email - markyeatesart@hotmail.com - I'd be really interested to see what you've managed to get working with inkjet
I love your style…thank you for this great tutorial!
Thanks, a pleasure to share : )

I just discovered your video’s and I loooooove them. This is next level gelprinting. Thank you!!!!!😍😍😍
Welcome aboard Yolande : ) Thanks for comment!
Once again I am inspired to experiment again with the plate today, thank you. Your results are wonderful 🙂
That is the best sort of comment!
I've just found your videos and I'm so happy, you really are inspiring and the experimenting is something that's so good to try we all need to play more... so a huge thank you for sharing your ideas please do more! Tomorrow I have a printing class and guess what I'm going to try using your ideas as we have gelli plates to work with.
Wow, that's flattering! Best of luck and let me know how the workshop goes!
Wow, another great video, this one I can try, especially like printing over collage piece. Never thought of that Thanks again
It works really well, especially the registering prnts over collage pieces, so much scope for play
Thank you so much for a much needed tutorial on gelli plate, so different. At last I am inspired and can reincarnate my gelli plate
This is music to my ears / eyes : )
Thank you so much! This print has been in my head for weeks, but not being able to draw well enough, I turned to you…for inspiration. Episodes 1 & 2 gave me the courage I needed. Used the graphite technique transfer and it all poured out. Please enjoy your holidays and thank you so much.
Why do I not know how to insert the photo haha.
So cool! i want to see this print!
Wow I just discovered you last night and am hooked. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge you are so generous. I love your style of presenting and working and how you explain everything. I love printing too and will now have to start using my gel plate which I gave up with first time round!! Thank you 😊
Cheers Judy - don't give up on the gel plate, I'm finding my way with it and working out how it best serves my ways of working : )
I absolutely love watching your tutorial. Brilliant use of the gel plate. The gel plate makes mixed media loads of fun and the possibilities are endless. I can’t wait to give this a go.
Your video demonstrates an amazing technique. I’ll be rewatching this one many times as I play with this. You now have a new SUB. 🤗
Cheers Abbie, thanks for subscribing - lots more videos coming - never imagined so many people would be interested in me playing around and working stuff out!
your videos have been a revelation. it is great to see how to use the gelli plate in new and interesting ways. Thank you
Cheers Susan, been really enjoying the gelli plate. Plenty more ideas I want to try yet!
Love it
Amazing instructions! TFS
A pleasure to share Amy : )
Stunningly brillant ! you've got a new subscriber !
Cheers Francoise, welcome aboard!!
Absolutely love your videos. Your creative and often unique processes. The on-point instruction and calm delivery. Much appreciated. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you continued success with your creative endeavors.
Cheers karen, lovely comments : )
Fantastic! Thank you for putting this together :) Can't wait for the next part...and to actually try the technique!
: ) go for it Dana and let me know how it goes
@@yeatesmakes I shall!
Great ideas to try, thank you!
You're welcome Mieke : )
Absolutely inspiring
: ) hope you try it out
I'm super impressed as usual (especially how you managed to tear the blue dotty paper to the exact shape of the shirt 😉)
Seriously great information and a refreshing change to many of the 'pretty' prints. Thank you so much!
Hi Gina, a pleasure to share and glad you're getting lots from the videos : )
Fantastic technique, really appreciate you sharing this. I have got uses for both the approaches you've used here, thank you very much
Let me know how it goes Josh, happy making : )
@@yeatesmakes will do, thanks again
I’ve tried this doing the actual tracing directly onto the inked plate. That was a disaster. The embossed paper is much better! Thanks
: ) !!!
Your fans have said all - I agree with them 🤗 Again - thank you for sharing. Wish you and your family a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year and lots of new inspirations and creativity.
Hi there, thanks for that! A christmas message for you all coming in next video! It's a bit cheesy but I'm sure you'll all indulge me x
This is so great. I didn't know i could REUSE a drawing!
You'll get a few prints, you may have to re draw parts of the lines between, but you'll definitely get a few!
Again, Thank you, such a brilliant inspiration! Right, Im off to play with my Geliplate now! Lol, Thank you 🥰xxx
That's what i like to hear!
Omg am trying this tomorrow ❤fantastic!!!!!! Luv this as do not draw well at all. Thanks for a fabulous video❤
Great, the hope was that those who find drawing intimidating would still be able to try sdome of the techniques I've been looking at. Please let me know how it goes... when I do these things I never really know if people will find it straightforward in practice ; )
So cool! 👍🏻🤩😀
: ) cheers
Love this! Gives me an idea for a gift for someone who lost a child. Will try to emboss several photos for a collage on a collage!
Thanks Esther, hope your project goes well, much love to your friend x
Merry Christmas to you. I really enjoy your videos. You are very good and unique and in what you do. I love it ! 😊🎄
Cheers Karen, a pleasure to share!
you are my gelplate hero !1
That's made me chuckle! Thanks for a lovely compliment : )
Great idea!
It has legs, as they say!!!
Really enjoying watching you work. It's inspired me to give this medium a try. Love the spontaneity. My granddaughter is 3yo, and already showing artistic ability - want to pass these techniques on to her. My focus has been in block printing, having been inspired by the German printers of 100 years ago (the Die Bruke). You deserve a larger stage to perform your skills.
I love die brucke and all things German expressionist!!!!
New subbie! Rosemary from The Rusty Peacock told me about you! Thanks for sharing!!!
Welcome aboard, now I know Rosemary is the rusty peacock!
Your channel is amazing! Subscribed : )
Cheers for subscribing and your really enthusiastic comments : ) HNY
So inspirational ! Thanks so much for sharing your art processes.
I’m having trouble with my paper sticking to my plate? I live in Portland Oregon so not a dry climate at all…..
Any advice is most welcome !
Hair drier : )
Haha nothing wrong with a good trilogy! I doubt there'd be any complaints if you went all Star Wars (I don't know how many 'episodes' there are now lol).
This technique is really helpful for learning to think about and identify tonal values.
I like that you 're-use' the techniques for your backgrounds. It shows that you don't need to start from scratch every time and it also shows how you can develop your own style through the choice of techniques and how they are combined. Tfs!
oh my word pippi, I am not going Star Wars with a ballpoint pen! that's too many episodes and the Phantom menace was not good! The collagraph pieces work well for a fair few prints, as do embossed sheets - a bit of scope to play if you can get a few prints!
Fab Mark thank you. 😊
: ) a pleasure Debbie
Thanks a lot for sharing your passion and explanations, directly ordered a gel plate after checking out your content. I was wondering is it possible to transfer from thermo paper? like for receipts.
Thank you so much for your videos. IBS
I love that you used Jason Williamson from the Sleaford Mods for the face demo!!!
I wondered if anyone would notice!
Wow. I am so taken with this gellie printing.Thanks for demonstrating it.I want to use it on fabric for intuitive type small wall hanging quilts. Dina Osullivan
Hi Dina, how weird. I just bought fabric medium to see if I can get a transfer on a t-shirt...
@@yeatesmakes That would be fantastic. Dina
@@yeatesmakes cool. How do I donate? I love your site. Love the laundry hanging in the back of your promo.
Great!
: )
After seeing comments on different sites of people struggling with magazine transfer resist in the traditional way embossing offers more certainty of a good result.
In a past art life I obtained transparencies of a favourite photocopy which has a tactile ridge around the ink, as it sits on a high gloss surface.
I haver never tried it but suspect it may be easier to obtain an image resist on the gelli using a transparency and maybe get some nice subtle tones too.
Maybe you or a gelli enthusiast may like to give it a try.
Great suggestion Chris, I'll add it to the list to try!
Great 👏👏👏
; ) cheers Andrea
Have you heard of Pergamamo - parchment craft? Ball headed tools are used to emboss parchment, which is very smooth. A semi-soft silicon mat, or a softer foam mat, is used to work on so you get a deeper emboss with less effort. It could be worth looking into.
this sounds intriguing, i love how the gel plate seems to have a real craft following, there's a whole world of techniques and kit involved in that I am totally new to. it means comments send me on new options to consider, thanks : )
@@yeatesmakes There's a huge overlap 'twixt art and 'crafts' these days! I'm an artist who has tried out various crafts over the years, and I still use plenty of 'craft' media. Mainly, perhaps, because they're still in my stash, but also because I love the way they work (Distress Inks in particular).
A harder cork tile or mat may be useful. Calligraphers often use a mat made of thick suede to cushion their work, and to emboss on too. Just a couple more things that have popped into my mind that may be of interest.
