Thanks Nick - I totally agree and I do exactly what you suggest in quite a lot of my videos. I always say that you should never abandon a textured gelli print..... however much of a "hot mess" it looks like when you are working on your project. I feel that there is usually an "ugly stage" you have to work through and, as you say, strong shapes over the messy base layer can usually work wonders. That you once again 😊

Thank you, as always. I am truly thrilled that you found the video helpful. Many thanks 💕

Hello Clarise - you very welcome. Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos and leaving a comment 😊

Thank you too - glad you enjoyed the demo, much appreciate your comments 😊

Hello and thanks for your question. I use copy paper a lot as it's quite "inexpensive". I favour HP color choice Paper (HP Papers CHP752 120GSM A4 Color Laser Paper, 500 sheets), I also use Yasutomo 6JM Rice Paper Sketch Pad and wet strength tissue paper. It depends what I am doing ..... but mostly use the HP Color Choice paper. Hope that helps 😊

Hello Maria and thank you for your lovely comments, they are very much appreciated. For nearly 20 years I was (and am) very involved in the photographic world and was known for my unconventional creative digital images. I love and still love pushing the boundaries (either via gelli plate, collage or digital art) and not always following "the rules". Always go with your intuition and what makes you feel happy. If you love the results..... do more, keep experimenting, encourage others - that way we all grow in our love for all things creative. Thank you once more 😊❤️

LOL - to be honest I also didnt know where I was going with it too !! I feel that you have to work through the "ugly" stage and keep on going , never give up. That's what I did in this video, it reached a point where I thought "this is going badly wrong" but I persevered and was happy with the final results. Thank you for your lovely comments, they are much appreciated 😊

Je suis tellement heureuse que tu aies apprécié la vidéo 🌹🌹🌹

Je suis tellement heureuse que tu aies apprécié la vidéo 😊😊😊

You're more than welcome Susie 😊

Hello Susie, thank you for the lovely comment, I really appreciate it. Regarding a butterfly stencil, I don't think I have any butterfly stencils so I can't give you any recommendations, sorry. However, if I do come across one I will definitely get back to you with a recommendation. Thank you once again.😊

Hello Christie and thank you. I am thrilled that you have enjoyed this video and I really helps you to produce some lovely textures. I have so many videos dedicated to Gelli printing, I hope you will enjoy those too. Thank you once again, I am really grateful for your kind words 😊

Hello Diane, and thanks for the question. I am a self taught photographer/digital artist who uses images (usually portraits) as a basis for my digital art projects. I use Photoshop and Procreate to manipulate the images. To enable me to produce a more "complex" piece via Photoshop (or indeed Procreate), I create lots and lots of layers, thus building up the image. Each layer will be a specific item - like the eyes, hair, lips, background embellishments etc and they build into the final image. Each layer can be manipulated until I am happy with that aspect and then I move onto another part of the portrait, or whatever it is I am working on.When using Photoshop I use a Wacom tablet and pen to enable me to digitally paint - it's just like painting conventionally... but without the mess, LOL. . When I use Procreate on my iPad I use a touch sensitive Apple Pen. Here is a short video I made last December using Procreate - not a portrait this time, more a Christmasy/Winter Themed image - a little boy with a snowman. Thank you once again ruclips.net/video/PN3-5CoVnxg/видео.html

Hello and thank you. The liquid I used first is as follows :- CLARK'S Chopping Board Oil - a Chopping Board Conditioner, it's a food safe mineral oil. Here is the Amazon link (it's the U.K. site but I am sure you will find it on the French version) . Hope that helps? PS. I was in Juan Les Pins in June, really loved the town. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B078SL668G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

Awww thank you so much Liz, that's very kind 😀

Thank you so much for watching the video - I really appreciate it. 😊

Awww that's very kind thank you. I hope the video was helpful to you but in all things in the Gelli Plate world not everything always turns out the way you think (or hope) it should......... that's the exciting/frustrating part. Thank you once more 😊

Thank you Arianna - I promised I would upload the step by step tutorial today. 😊

Aww thank you so much, that's very kind. I've created a few images featuring those "lady shapes" and I am always happy with the results. I am so pleased you enjoyed the video - thank you once again 😊

Thank you. I made this video months ago and have been reluctant to post it, hopefully other will enjoy it too. Thank you once again 😊

Thank you so much, really appreciate your very kind comments 😊

Thank you, regarding the stencil. Here is the info I bought it from a company in the U.K. called Clarity Crafts - the stencil is called LEONIE'S CIRCLE EDGES ABSTRACT ART 7" X 7" FRAMELESS STENCIL STE-LE-00509-77 Claritystamp £5.99

oooooo thank you, welcome!! It's so lovely to have you part of my creative journey. I hope you enjoy the videos that I have uploaded thus far. More to come ....... scheduled until the end of the year 😊

Hi - thanks for the lovely comments. The liquid used at the beginning isn't baby oil and the video giving more details (step by step with voice over) will go live on Sunday 8th September..... when all will be revealed . Hope you catch it 😊

Oh, thank you Maria, I really am grateful for your comments they mean a lot to me. I love collage and really enjoy the time I spend putting them together. Lots more to come and I hope you continue to enjoy them. Thank you once again 😊

Thank you so much Maria, I love soft pastel colours too, so I enjoyed putting this selection of textured papers together. The paints I am using in the video are tubes that I have had hanging around for a few years now..... though it was about time I put them to use !! Some paints are better than others - I have found that even some cheaper brands perform just as well as their more expensive cousins LOL. Thank you once more 😊

Awww thank you so much. I love to share my ideas and hope that you have a go with your own gelli plate textured paper strips - I'd love to see what you do. Thank you once more ❤️

Thank you - just goes to show that even "stuff" you're not too keen on could turn into something more pleasing. Napkins are ace, I use them quite often. Thanks again x

Thanks for your question. I have already made a much longer video that has a voice over that explains in detail what I did and what products I used (it wasn't baby oil BTW) . That video is scheduled to play on the 8th September when all will be revealed. Thanks once again. 😊

Thank you so much Arianna - one more video to come in which I reveal what the liquid is that I use to get the "rusty" effect. 😊

Hello, thanks for the question. I have made a longer video which will reveal exactly what I used to make the "rusty texture". I will say that it's not baby oil though. The video will go live soon. Thanks once again for your interest 😊

I use water…

Thanks for the question, much appreciated. Regarding the clear liquid I use all will be revealed in a much longer video (with voice over and explanation) which will reveal exactly what I used to make the "rusty texture". I will say that it's not baby oil though. The video will go live soon. Thanks once again for your interest. 😊

Thanks for commenting - I use water too but towards the end of the process, it has a a lovely effect on the "rusty effect" I don't use water at the beginning of the process though. 😊

Thank you so much Arianna, much appreciated x

awwww that's so kind Cindy, I really appreciate you reaching out to me. So from my home in the U.K. to yours in Mississippi, USA welcome and thank you

Hello and you're very welcome, I love to share my projects. I also LOVE Australia Julie having visited a few places around your lovely country. I will never forget looking up and seeing the night sky full of stars and far galaxies when we stayed at Ayres Rock Resort, Uluru - it was mind-blowing ! Would love to return again one day. Thank you once more for your lovely message and I hope you continue to catch my videos 😊

Oooo hello and welcome !!!! I've just Googled your town (looks FAB). Seems to be mid way between New York and Boston. I've been lucky enough to visit both places and loved them both - hopefully will cross the pond again and do some more travelling in the U.S. Thanks for watching 😊

Yes I agree, experimenting is so much fun and if you don't expect magic to happen...... it usually does. I am here in the beautiful county of Cheshire in the North Of England - I've been to Fort Myers a few years ago. I have visited Florida quite a few times, one of my favourite places to visit x

Thank you, as always. Sorry, forgot to put the details down regarding the paints (I've just amended that). I used ArtStudio - Paynes Grey and Dale Rowney - Titanium White. A question..... do you like to see a short video or a longer "more detailed" one? I'd love to know. Thank you once again 😊

@@butterflysmind Since I am only a beginner loving art I like videos with explanations. I don't mind the long ones. I think the more detailed videos, the more we learn. I usually review your videos for details. Thank you Joan.

Thank YOU and you are more than welcome. I hope that by sharing my successes and failures it will be an encouragement to give it a go. 😊

Thank you so much, I really enjoyed putting this together using textured papers that I wasn't very happy with. I use these pencils -www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00241K2UQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Stabilo Aquarellable. Hope that helps

@@butterflysmind thank you Joan. Always waiting for your videos

That's so kind - thank you ❤️

Thank you - I really appreciate your comments and observations 😊

You're more than welcome, glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks once again 😊

Thank you for your lovely comments, they are very much appreciated. I love experimenting - sometimes the experiments go well, other times.... not so much. However, it is rare that I throw a piece of paper in the bin, it's always amazing when the most disappointing pull can add a little something to a collage. Never underestimate the power of the gelli plate textured paper (however messy) LOL. Thank you once more

Thank you again. I'm so pleased that my videos are helping you to enjoy the gelli plate experience LOL. It can be very frustrating but also extremely enjoyable ....... but not always in equal measures. If there is something that I can help with please make a suggestion in the comments and I will do my best to help. Thank you once more 😊

OH MY GOODNESS, thank you so much, I can't tell you how happy your comments have made me. Sometimes I think I'm telling people what they already know and will get quickly bored with my videos. I enjoy making the videos and I have learned so much myself whilst I am making them - I love to experiment and that way I feel that you can learn so much i.e. what works and doesn't work. I hope you continue to watch the videos because there are many more lined up for the coming weeks/months. Thank you once again 😊

Thank you, I really hope you continue to enjoy my little videos (there are lots more to come ). Sometimes I really don't like what I produce texture wise but I hang on to it ...... just in case. I think I agree with you that the print I chose (but initially I didn't like) really blended in nicely. Thank you once agin 😊

You're more than welcome and thank you for leaving your comment - I really hope you have a go at the 'rust" it's super fun. Thanks once again 😊

Thank you. Sometimes the roll out sheet turns out better than what you have been working on..... a surprising bonus 😊

Awww thank you once again - so pleased you enjoyed my leafy textures..... more to come 😊
