🎉 this is going to be good! I love your challenge and appreciate all the work you've pit into designing the challenge. Very excited to jump on board with this. Will absolutely sneak in a YT video on it here and there throughout March. Thank you, Ceri. 😊 Belinda
Woo hoo!!!! I've been so very much looking forward to this!! You made my day, Ceri ❤ I didn't do last year's challenge , but I have been collecting up some mixed media supplies ( geli plate, stencils, acrylic pens, etc.) Thanks to your challenge last year, I was inspired to give it a go. Your videos are always inspiring and educational for me !!
came back from amsterdam yesterday and today i am watching the explanation of the challenge and i love the deepth of all the possibilities thanks a lot 💙💛💛💛💛💛💛💙
Thank you Ceri, I love this! I’ve got an idea for making small rectangular glass tiles, either to frame or as magnets, and using geli printed paper backgrounds behind them. I’ve got so many ideas going now! This will also push me to get content onto my UA-cam channel which I need to do more of this year.
Wonderful Louise, here is a link to PM Artist Studio, they have printables of gel prints also in February I’ll be launching a printable with them which is a selection of gel prints snippets and scraps. Here’s there chrome link pmartiststudio.com/product-category/printable-papers/
I’m glad you gave us 6 weeks since I’m going to be in a wheel chair for a couple months and recovering from hip surgery mid February. My studio is upstairs so my downstairs space is going to be very limited to the kitchen table once I’m on wheels. BUT I’m thinking of making this part of my journey somehow. If anyone has any ideas let me know. A journal would be the obvious thing, but I want to do something fun! Thanks for the opportunity Ceri, I think you’ve fixed all the issues from the postcard challenge and put a lot of thought into it.
I'm just starting to play with my gel plate so I think I'm going to join in this challenge. I don't do youtube videos but I can try making some and posting on the FB group. Otherwise, I can take progressive pictures. I think I will have fun, although it will be challenging for me. You inspire me Ceri, so I'm jumping in.
Hi darling xx A wonderful launch video xx Looking forward to March and seeing what everyone creates and inspires us with. Thank you for all your hard work and enthusiasm. BIG HUGS
Thank you so much Ceri for the effort you have gone to in putting this together. I loved doing the Postcard Challenge last year. This years Challenge in March will be such fun. ❤
Oh I'm so glad you put this challenge on again. I'm looking foward to do it. So excited with the new rules. I'll start as soon as I can. Thanks Ceri 😊❤
Ceri, I am so excited for you making this an annual project.. Thank you I know how hard it is to do something continually, but I can't image the preparation time it takes to get it off and running. Thank you for critiquing it for your viewer in mind. You are a marvel?🤟🤟
They are not so much rules as guidelines generated by the questions that arose last year. Every activity requires boundaries of some sort. There is no prize it is just a fun activity which I am running and there is no requirement for compliance.
Hi Ceri. I've been really looking forward to this since last year. I have a question though. At 5:50. you mentioned that other types of art (quilting, ceramics, etc) could be used. But then at 7:56, you said each must contain "an element produced on or by a gel plate". So I am confused by that. Could you explain a bit more about the parameters? I'm sorry to point that out, and maybe I misunderstood. You know I luv ya! ❤ @CeriGriffiths
Rhonda no problem at all, you can gel print onto fabric which I’ve done in the past or you could cover buttons with gel printed tissue and then use those buttons on your fabric piece, you can gel print onto clay, and you could possibly sandwich a tissue gel print between two pieces of hanging glass. Hope that helps, any further question just reach out I’m happy to explain and suggest.
Challenge accepted! I hope this message don’t auto destroyed in 15 seconds, I want to be able to watch it again for reference😂.TFcreating the challenge Ceri❤❤❤
Pamela if you don’t have a gel plate there are a couple of solutions, digitals of gel prints are acceptable, if you know of another creator who does gel print see if you can do a scrap swap, maybe you could screen shot some images of gel prints.
Are you in the UK or in the US? I have prints to share, but not tech savvy. I would have to mail them. I wouldn't accept pay, but would trade for non gel prints.
Hi Ceri ! First of all I wish to thank you for all the wonderful , inspiring and informative videos you so kindly share. I have been a Subscriber for quite a while as I just love your videos…never ever boring no matter how long they are 🤗 !! I have one question if I may ask. About the Challenge, will there be any Prompts or themes or everyone can create anything as long as it is rectangular and part of it has to have a gelli print ? Thank you once again and wish you the best of health, happiness and inspiration. Warmest regards…Lorraine 🤗
Thank you and yes you're right you can create anything as long as its rectangular, has a number on it to represent the date and is also signed....basically its wide open to your own creativity.
Hi Ceri, seriously considering this challenge. I wanted to do last year's but I just wasn't able to find the time and commitment, so thank you for giving us preparation time. At 21:14 you say there is no way to tag you in UA-cam. However, if a person uses the @ symbol with your channel name you should get a notification. 😊
@@CeriGriffiths To clarify, the @ symbol and channel name has no spaces when typed, and as a person types a pop-up of channel names appears and can be selected from. 🤗
Ceri, I am currently in a "no buying art supplies, use what I have" place. This eliminates me because I not only don't have a gelli plate, I am not going to buy printables. I wonder if you would consider changing the parameter to using a monoprint? Thank you for considering my question.
If you happen to be on Facebook and can send me a message reminding me if this I may have a solution for you, my FB page is Ceri Griffiths Creative Designs
I’m not sure if you already use Pinterest so I’ll assume you don’t, first create an account…it’s free, then you can create a board and pin images to it, if you use the hashtag #MixedMediaMarch25 in the title of your board then it will be searchable. Hopefully that helped if not search youtube for how to use Pinterest. Once you’ve done it a couple of times it’s simple.
I don’t do videos at all but I can post photos of the finished projects. Probably overwhelming to try to do sequential pics of a process but could probably verbally explain. Hope that would be ok
So exciting! I have so many ideas! I can't wait to get started. No buy sounds like another perfect challenge! TFS. 🙏❤

Have fun Belinda
Looking forward to this. I like the "use up what you have" angle. I'm trying to make 2025 a no buy year. Only what's needed. ❤❤❤
Can't wait to see what everyone makes in this challenge. 😊 Thanks for sharing 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Fantastic plan and love that you have the guidelines so wonderfully explained. Thank you for the advance notice.
What a way to wake up! Thanks Ceri.
I'm excited to participate in this challenge. Thanks for putting it together!
Excited to join you this year!

I've never done this one before. Looking forward to the challenge! Thanks! (P.S. I need Gelliplate printables!)

Sandy how about adding your feelings and moods to your daily art pieces, maybe a bit random but it would be different.
I'm just starting to play with my gel plate so I think I'm going to join in this challenge. I don't do youtube videos but I can try making some and posting on the FB group. Otherwise, I can take progressive pictures. I think I will have fun, although it will be challenging for me. You inspire me Ceri, so I'm jumping in.
Even if you don't feel like sharing your creations this is an excellent way to play creatively.
I might have a go at this!!
I am looking forward to having a go at this challenge .❤
Very exciting! I love how wide open this challenge is - thanks Ceri, fantastic launch video, I'm excited to take part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay! Thank you!
So enjoyed the postcard challenge. This is perfect because it really pushes me to think outside the box. Thank you Ceri.
Hi darling xx A wonderful launch video xx Looking forward to March and seeing what everyone creates and inspires us with. Thank you for all your hard work and enthusiasm. BIG HUGS
You are so welcome my dear friend

Yay. So excited to be doing this again. Don’t know if I can do all 31 days but I’ll definitely do some and watch everyone else’s efforts.
Just have fun with it Belinda
Great project. It will be fun to see what everyone will be making🙂
Oh I'm so glad you put this challenge on again. I'm looking foward to do it. So excited with the new rules. I'll start as soon as I can. Thanks Ceri 😊❤

Great project to look forward too, thanks Ceri 💕 loved gelicard July
Sounds fun!
I don’t understand. Why are there so many rules? Is there a big prize at the end? Is this a private event? Who is managing compliance?
They are not so much rules as guidelines generated by the questions that arose last year. Every activity requires boundaries of some sort. There is no prize it is just a fun activity which I am running and there is no requirement for compliance.

I am super excited...have some thoughts...need to get myself in gear😊
Best of luck
Can't wait to see all of the creative images people create❤
Challenge accepted!! So excited, Ceri!!!!!
This is great
Sounds so interesting!

Love that you joining the challenge again Myriam.
Thanks Ceri. Looking forward to March🎉
❤ I'm excited! ❤
Me too
How do I gell print if I don't have the stuff to do it? I would like to participate but no gell print.
Pamela if you don’t have a gel plate there are a couple of solutions, digitals of gel prints are acceptable, if you know of another creator who does gel print see if you can do a scrap swap, maybe you could screen shot some images of gel prints.
You can also use a silicone mat, lots of videos on this technique 😊
Are you in the UK or in the US? I have prints to share, but not tech savvy. I would have to mail them. I wouldn't accept pay, but would trade for non gel prints.
I have a ko-fi shop. I will put some digitals in there free, and some packs you can buy and i can mail ACTUAL prints that way

Can I buy a gelli plate if I’m going to buy one tomorrow whether you say yes or not! Lol
Have fun
❤❤❤
How do we “tag you in”?? Just put a hashtag then your name?
Sandy if you’re using Facebook type @Ceri Griffiths Creative Designs that should tag me.
Ceri, I am currently in a "no buying art supplies, use what I have" place. This eliminates me because I not only don't have a gelli plate, I am not going to buy printables. I wonder if you would consider changing the parameter to using a monoprint?

So we're not allowed to have a video showing let's say the week's work together?
It would be preferable to launch a video a day on a single art piece not a batch make video.
I deleted all of my social media due to the changed policies. How do I put my challenge projects in Pinterest and make them searchable?
I’m not sure if you already use Pinterest so I’ll assume you don’t, first create an account…it’s free, then you can create a board and pin images to it, if you use the hashtag #MixedMediaMarch25 in the title of your board then it will be searchable. Hopefully that helped if not search youtube for how to use Pinterest. Once you’ve done it a couple of times it’s simple.

If you don’t have a UA-cam channel does an image posted on Instagram or on Makers Facebook page work
Absolutely, this is for everyone not just UA-cam channels.
I don’t do videos at all but I can post photos of the finished projects. Probably overwhelming to try to do sequential pics of a process but could probably verbally explain. Hope that would be ok
