    Every year I ask myself why I don't press flowers. This year I'm going to make a press and then use the outcome to make beautiful prints. Thanks for mixing paints on camera, it was helpful for me to see as I'm new at this. Very lovely.

    That takes me back to very young days when pressing wildflowers between blotting paper sheets (remember those) inside a book was a thing. Not sure I can find actual blotting paper any more, but there must be a substitute and I'll have to have another go once we finally reach spring here.

    I press plants from my garden too. It holds me over through the winter months. Sometimes I cut stencils/masks by tracing a silhouette print. I just ordered silk bamboo from Amazon. It's cheaper than purchasing a living plant and won't be invasive in my garden. Your work is inspiring.

    I’m sure you have done something with it by now but when I say the black and white bold background with the eucalyptus leaves on it, I saw it mounted with the torn edges left to be seen. Looks very cool

    • @susanmccreevyartist
      @susanmccreevyartist  10 месяцев назад

      Great idea 💡 I think I might still have that print intact 😀

    Hi Susan, at about minute 25, you have a torn rectangular paper with dark inks, is there a video in how you created the original piece?

      Hi 👋 I’m sorry I’ve not made a video with this paper, I do show some ink techniques in this video though 👍

    Beautiful prints Susan - Thankyou for sharing 😊 Think you could use parts of these papers as they are, glued to board and they are complete pieces as they are ❤

    • @susanmccreevyartist
      @susanmccreevyartist  Год назад

      Great idea, there are some that would be lovely surface mounted in a simple frame. ❤️

  • @Oh-Mercy

    These are absolutely gorgeous- I love the pallet you are using. Very inspirational!
    Could you please post the name of that gorgeous sheer paper you are using. It sounds like “Rushi” but I can’t find anything like it- also looked for Chine collet paper.
    Thanks!

    • @susanmccreevyartist
      @susanmccreevyartist  Год назад +1

      Thanks for helping Annie, yes it’s called Maruishi paper and the print making term I used is Chine Colle. You can purchase it from Intaglio Printmakers in the UK

    Are you painting the glue on your transparent papers when they are dry? Or when you stick them to another sheet?

    • @susanmccreevyartist
      @susanmccreevyartist  10 месяцев назад

      I would add paint to transparent paper when it is dry 😀

    Dear Susan, I have a question. I always thought, that dry plants can damage the gelli plate. Am I right? What was your experience?

    • @susanmccreevyartist
      @susanmccreevyartist  11 месяцев назад +2

      Perhaps if they are spiky? They might pierce the gel, but I’ve not had any problems 😀

  • @judimcdougall7796
    @judimcdougall7796 Год назад +1

    Hi Susan. Do you think the paints/ techniques could be used on fabrics such as calico?

    • @susanmccreevyartist
      @susanmccreevyartist  Год назад

      I’ve only tried printing on smooth 100% cotton, if it’s not too textured I think it would work well 👍
