Gel printed Coffee Filters for Collage
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- So I was in conversation with Paulla Keen an artist from the Netherlands about gel printing onto circles when I came up with the idea of gel printing onto coffee filters, these being a porous tissue that's resistant to water, I thought maybe the perfect alternative to expensive water resistant tissue papers for collage.
Did it work? watch and see

"Safe to talk now" LOL! I know that feeling, what a mess can occur. Thank you, love this video.
I could hear you talk all day long, thanks for sharing your art, well done.
You’re welcome
I enjoyed your video. I watched to the very end. I am a late bloomer of 69 to mix media art and journal making. I have made 5 junk journals and some other stuff. Love it!
It’s never too late to discover your inner artist.
I was thinking that if one needed a water resistant quality, spraying the finished product with a light coating of hairspray would set your finished product quite nicely.
I enjoyed the gold daisy tissue one the very most. Thank you so much for the idea!
Thank you
Ceri...I wrote you a novel, but decided on thank you and you are a fabulously awesome artist/gentleman!! Thank you.
Lol….thank you
You're incredibly sweet to each of your commenters, i love that you're so appreciative of your followers that you read each comment and i'm going to subscribe and come back again, thank you so much 🙋♀️
Thank you and welcome, I try to read and answer every comment out of respect for the person leaving it. I never loose sight of the fact that without my subscribers and followers I wouldn’t be where I am today.
I love coffee/tea dyeing coffee filters. Those look awesome, I’ll have to get out my gel plate.
Wonderful news Susan
I really enjoyed seeing these layers develope!
Thank you
I like this idea they are pretty. in the USA you can get small coffee filters as well at the same places about half size.
Okay I didn’t know that, thank you
I love all your stencils, but when you pulled out that "Sea of Cresants" I ABSOLUTELY FEEL *IN-LOVE!* There's just something about that particular Stencil that JUST GETS ME!!! ***AND THEN*** You pulled them out & started using it & YESSS!!! I *N E E D* that "Sea of Cresants Stencil' in my life!!!
Wonderful.
Daisy gold was beautiful. Loved watching you create in this method.
Thank you
those are really fun! Coffee Filters are cheap enough here so I think they would make a good substrate for gelli prints. thanks so much for sharing your process and for a few laughs along the way!!
You’re welcome Robin.
Very relaxing seeing and hearing you do artwork!
Thank you so much!
Your alteration on Whirlies is brilliant!!!! And yes Stitching Ark is Paulla... so happy you two chatted and wow these coffee filters are spectacular. 💖💖😘
Thank you, yes the altered Whirlies are very useful on a 12x12
@@CeriGriffiths Ohhh those gold daisies yes indeedy!
Fun and inspiring! Love them! Thank you. 😌💓💓💓
What a FANTASTIC idea to use coffee filters!!! Thanks for being so creative and sharing.
You’re welcome.
This video and the mass making index card backgrounds one are just what I need right now. Thanks.
Fabulous news.
I love P.M Artists Studio, they are such an inspiration. This was a really fun video Ceri, thank you for sharing🎨
You’re welcome
Yeehaw this sure was fun....to watch you paint and your lovely accent. 💗💗💗
Thank you
Fantastic video. Especially your color selection.
Ceri, thanks so much for the fabulous idea that helps the pocketbook. It has also been a wonderful visit. :)
Great news thank you b
Just found your channel. Love the prints you pulled. Can’t wait to try myself.
Great news and welcome to my channel
This work gorgeous I am I really enjoyed this
Very cool!
Amazingly beautiful
Thank you
Wonderful video and you saved me $$$$, as I was about to order Carnival tissue. Now, a new use for coffee filters sitting around. Have a great week.
Wonderful.
It was very enjoyable watching you play with coffee filters on your gel plate. I love the results. I also love the stencils. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome
I loved this soooo. I can’t wait for next parts
I need to see how to cut up and use now
😁
It may take a while but I’ll plan a video on how I use them.
Oh Ceri, I just watched the part that explained to wet it and dry then or iron. The pulls are really great.
Thank you Joan
Ceri: this demonstration of printed and painted coffee filters was an intriguing project. I can’t wait to see how you use them, especially since Halloween is coming up. Carol from California
Thank you, hopefully I’ll have time for a Halloween project and I missed it last year.
Love watching your experiments the coffee filters look great
Thank you
I've never tried this but I love using coffee filters. TFS
Great news Donna
Awesome! Love them all!
Thank you
Hi Ceri! I bought from Walmart what is called a Pro Series AIR HOCKEY STRIKER as a substitute for one of those expensive Barens. The ones I have are from a company called Hathaway. They are plastic with a felt cover..sort of like a hockey puck with a handle on top. Cheers from Northern California, USA. P.S. they were really cheap..15.00 for 2 in USD
I’ve seen those and wondered if they’d work, thank you b
Your video popped up in my RUclips feed. Love this! I can’t wait to play around with it- my gel plate has been sitting around unused for way too long. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your instructions and seeing the results. A happy new subscriber from St.Louis, Missouri US!
Thank you Judy and welcome to my channel
Loved watching you work your magic!!!! The coffee filters turned out great!!!!!
Thank you Betty
Love the video, I use coffee filters a lot in my craft. Take care and thank you for all you do. Hugs from WA. State.
Thank you
I so want to try this. No gel plate but a nice picture frame glass would work out. You are my muse..❤❤❤
Have fun experimenting.
Now I want to see how you use them!
I always enjoy your videos!
Julia, sorry to say this video is a little old and I never filmed the project I used them for……..I made coffee filter flowers I’d seen someone make on RUclips.
Love watching you work with the geli plates. Such beautiful results each time. I also like the sheet you were using to cove that has the squares. I know it was probably a sheet you used to protect a surface but I really like it.
It was a clean up tissue but the never go to waste they also go into my collage box for future projects.
I loved the one that you thought was not successful. I think it was green...regardless, this video was a joy.
Thank you and yes we all have our favourites and thats what makes us all interesting.
this is my first time watching your videos--- loved it! Thanks!
Thank you and welcome to my channel Tamarie
This is definitely a success! I love the Daisy and crescents. Beautiful colours!!!
Thank you Sarah
Hi Ceri! Thank you for this demo, it’s awesome watching you. Thanks& Hugs 🤗
Thank you Millie
Going to give this a try. Thanks for sharing. You are so talented. I just love watching you videos, especially the gelli prints ones.
Great news thank you
Hi Ceri I used coffee filters with spray inks and paints to make flowers for my daughter's wedding (over 300)! What I found is once you spray them they will straighten out once you lay them out to dry and usually dry within a few minutes so you don't have to iron them. They are great to work with.
Sounds great thank you.
Wow, what a mom!
Love your projects. Wish I had found you sooner.
Thank you! 😊
Always fun to watch you gel print Ceri & a special one this time -- you are, on our behalf, a mixed media explorer who boldly goes where no man (or woman) has gone before :) Appreciate your desire to cover those of us for whom the Carnival tissue is cost prohibitive (have you seen Froyle's posts where she has a go at replicating expensive handmade papers by using pastes & gels?) And you're so right, gel printing is a blast and an ongoing revelation -- always something new :)
Thank you and yes I’ve seen Froyle, I’m a fan of hers and she inspires me to do better and be braver with colour.
I've been wanting to do some gel prints but my dyslexia makes it confusing for me to understand which order the paint, stencil and such go on. You made the process so easy for me to grasp and for that, I want to thank you very much. I inherited a lot of coffee filters and don't drink coffee, so this is a win-win for me.
Fabulous….have you every thought of writing the order down so that you can refer to it as you create, almost like a check list. Hopefully that may help.
@@CeriGriffiths That is what I normally do, I write the steps down until I get them memorized. Normally when I watch gel print videos, they go so fast and don't explain why they are doing what they did. I love the results but have no idea of how to do something even similar. You took your time, gave explanations and it was so helpful. I'm really glad I found your channel.
wow what a cool technique. I loved the flower one with the bronzy gold and pinky red
Beautiful prints and great idea to use coffee filters! I'll definitely give it a try! TFS the inspiration!
You’re welcome
Love watching you play with your gelli plate. I have some of those coffee filters I bought last time I was in US. Great idea, I will add them to my mixed media trolly 😃
Wonderful news.
Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge and experiences. I have gelli plates and looking forward to having a fun play!
I find them so much fun I hope you do too.
Tips: DEFINITELY watch just a bit on color theory bc it helped me in mixing paints nicely on a gelli plate
Try: pink, orange & yellow.... and separately that is, try green, blue and yellow. They all mix quite nicely bc they are close on the color wheel, no opposite.
That was the best bit of homework I ever did, honestly, was to kinda go back to art class and learn a touch of color theory. It wasn't even a deep dive, honestly. But it helped MASSIVELY so what I create is cute and not mud
Thank you I’ve made a note of those colour combinations and will try them at some point and yes you’re right a little colour theory goes a long way.
@@CeriGriffiths I LOVE these combos I have made on bookmarks and I 2as so proud to finally not make mud, something I'm fantastic at making lol
Greetings from Tennessee. I love your experiment with the coffee filters. Blue. Green and purple, red, orange and yellow, and teal, purple and lime green are sone of my most favorite colour combinations. I am eager to utilize your techniques . Thank you Mr Ceri.
Dear Cheri your craft cave has given me a new instant addiction thank you for sharing your super power I’m packing my bags so I can following you to the moon 😁
Lol…..its a very long way
Gorgeous results!! I love all the color combinations and my favorite was the soft gold one with daisies at 59:11. The translucent red oxide color is a fabulous one indeed. 👍🏼 Thank you Ceri! 😊
I love the gold one as well I may have to send it to Mariah to see what she can do with sprays.
Wow!thanks for this experimenting! you are an inspiratation!!
Thank you
Great video, I like this. I’m going to try this. Love the colors.
Wonderful. Thank you
Loved the video. I just got a gelli print this a great idea to us it with the coffee filters. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you, you too
TYFS, Ceri. Love the colors. I enjoy using 6” coffee filters in journals with ink around edges, then folded for pretty pockets. Perfect. Craft on!
Fabulous.
Yep times are tuff so even in our craft we are trying to use more things around the house etc which have always done anyhow. Great stuff well done 👏 😀😍
Thank you
Genius work Ceri !!! I love how every pull is a surprise that gets the creative juices flowing to make stunning pieces. I just found you and I’m so happy I did. I love your voice and how you live by if it doesn’t work out, it’s not the end of the world. Someday I’ll get there 🤣. Thanks for such a wonderful video! 🦋
Thank you and welcome to my channel.
Great process video Ceri! I have used coffee filters cut into a snowflake shape on the gelliplate before but I will definitely try your technique to soak and lay flat first and use stencils with the gelliplate. (I probably won’t iron though as me and the iron aren’t great friends 😂) tfs
Lol.......I just wanted to show options.
I thought that was brilliant definitely successful
Fabulous.
I really had a great time doing these. Really liked also the tissue paper I I used to hold it down. Thank you for the fun😄
You’re welcome
First- you described the magic of P&M to a “T”! Perfect wording. I loved watching you turn these coffee filters into circular works of art. I so love that you altered the Whirlies stencil, it really offers multiple uses that way! I am wondering about the circular air fryer filters that I have, they are parchment colored though. I may have to experiment- thank you for inspiring all of us once again Ceri. Loved the daisy paper and the C of C’s a lot!
Thank you Lisa, I’ve not got an air fryer so I’m not familiar with the filters but if they’re parchment in style they should be interesting.
One source of waxed tissue papers, is toilet seat covers. They are translucent, yet sturdy. They may work quite well and be inexpensive, and may or may not be available in all countries or communities. Worth a try, though. 😀😀😀
Ill have to check that out, thank you
💜💜💜 fascinating to watch - I was feeling “bummed” when you ended the video ☺️
LOL
I'm in Illinois (US). I really enjoyed your experiment. I never saw this type of art before and think it would be great for many crafts.
Decoupage for Chrismas ornaments and making cards etc. Lovely work. Thank you!
You’re right, I’m pleased you enjoyed this.
Carnival wet strength tissue paper is now available on Amazon in the states. They are not giving it away! It's @ $60 for a set amount and that's all but it's really good.
I love carnival tissue as an alternative you can gelli print into coffee filters for collage with good results.
CERI, I’m a first-time commenter, but a long-time watcher and supporter of your videos. I have recently settled on your videos, having watched many, many others in the junk journal community, as the only ones (not to discredit the many others whom I have learned something from) but you have a mixed media “bent” that appeals to me and that I am eager to learn about. I also identify very well with your OCD, Anxiety, and the insecurities you sometimes discuss. I suffer from those things as well. I hope that I can learn to be fearless about sharing my art with others, a hurdle you seem to have surmounted, and that I can enjoy the journey, whether I reach my goals or not!.
Thank you, every project is a challenge for me but the more I do the easier it usually gets, but surmounting the struggle adds to the sense of achievement and helps me become a better artist.
All of them turned out really nice. And wow on that magenta, my favorite color, gorgeous design. Thanks for sharing. So clever and economical.
Thank you
Enjoyed this video immensely! THANK YOU for sharing with us! I'm looking forward to trying this technique myself.
Have fun Judy.
Those coffee filters will make gorgeous backgrounds to make stamped labels. Almost like rice paper.
They would
Great idea! I always enjoy your teachings. I will give it a try! Enjoyed.❤️
Good news
Excellent video! I’m fascinated with gel printing and when I saw the thumbnail of your video pop up, I had to come take a look! I’ve collected coffee filters ever since I got into junk journaling (I also use them to cover the larger holes in the bottom of a pot when potting plants) so I have tons at the ready. Also, I’ve been using a Keurig for my coffee so I have tons left from my old machine lol. I’ve been really keen on trying projects with dryer sheets (used of course, after they come out of the dryer). These sheets have a unique texture and are pretty soft and pliable (and smell good too lol). My original plan was to use them to collage over a dried flower (to cover & protect the flower) but I wonder if they would work for gel printing?? Love those masks you used....esp the daisy one! TYFS!! New subbie here Michigan USA ❤️🦋💜
Morning Cindy and welcome to my channel, I don’t used drier sheets but I don’t see why they wouldn’t work, the same could be done with used wet wipes I’m sure.
Thanks!
You’re welcome
Funny, but I was just thinking about ways to color some coffee filters. This is great idea. I always love your gel prints. You are so creative!!! Using stencils looks great. Love daisies!!!!
Thx for video.
Austin,TX USA
Thank you Barbara
Hi Ceri, I have a huge stack of filters I got at an estate sale. I have also gelli printed on them as well as one the ink + water on the silicone pad technique on them. All successes. Oh oh I also use them to mop up acrylic marbling in the salad spinner ala #NinaRibina. Also coffee/tea dyed them. Now back to your program. Have fun!
Wonderful thank you
I always enjoy your videos. I don't have a gelli plate and wasn't going to watch this, but saw the top of your shirt in your intro and kept hoping you'd show it all. it looks so interesting! after watching the video I think you were really brave to wear a white shirt while using all that paint! I'm looking forward to seeing the coffee filters turn up in a project!
Thank you Alice, the teeshirt is one I painted myself, I like to use my art when I can in everyday things.
@@CeriGriffiths You are so talented! I've been thinking of doing a Zentangle one. Yours with colors is great! I need to get fabric paint and have a go on an old shirt.
They look awesome, Ceri! I find you adorable! 🥰
Thank you
This is very interesting Ceri. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome
Hi Ceri! For those of us with smaller gelli mats they sell smaller size coffee filters, 3-4 cups about 6.5" in diameter. I wonder if you have tried any of those you color died? It would give you a different base to start with.
These prints are absolutely amazing! I love the new masks you purchased from P&M! I hope you have a great weekend!
Thank you Laura I didn’t know the filters came in different sizes, the ones I dyed I used food colour and I’ve found if you drip water on them they leave white marks so not sure what effect that would have with acrylics.
@@CeriGriffiths I wondered what you dyed them with. I have an entire package that were accidentally coffee dyed, the pot wasn't all the way on the maker...and the filters were sitting on the counter. I microwaved and air dried them.
So Interesting, looking forward to trying this on coffee filters❤️🥰🙏🏻
Good luck
Love this video going to store for filters tomorrow😉
Have fun
Fun.
Thank you
Wow again! You could also put 2 gel plates aside by side, making 1 large one. I saw that seemingly obvious idea on ArtWhisper88
Fantastic.
Lovely 🥰
Thank you
LOVE your junk journal graphic T--is it one of your own designs??? So cool--
I've dyed loads of filters but now I'll have to add them to the gel plate toy box for sure--these turned out great! Can't wait to see how you put them in your work.
Thank you and yes i designed the teeshirt, using a few of my own things plus a PM stencil.
@@CeriGriffiths Please show it off more next time--would love to see it in its entirety --very very cool 😎
That's kind of midnight in the desert😊
Great to have options for people who live out of the UK. Love the crescent mask on the coffee filter paper. So cool the way your mind can springboard to create cost saving techniques! By the way was that a Ceri original printed t-shirt that you had on?
Thank you and yes it was on me of my own tees
👍👍Great idea! This was such a fun play, Ceri! If it wasn't so early here, I'd go get a pile of coffee filters for a play, but I don't want to wake everyone up. I'm so curious how they will tear. The only thing I'd ever thought to do with these was coffee dye them. Somehow I missed out on Bob & will have to see how you created him.
Fabulous, the filters I have tear very easily in any direction.
@@CeriGriffiths Thanks!
😊
Coffee filters I have! Great idea! Thank you for all you do!! ❤️🤗❤️
Could I ask a repeat question? I asked before, but I cannot find the video where you answered me - could you tell me again the name of the 12x12 skinny boxes? I apologize for having to ask twice - I’m a scatter-brain lately.
Not a problem, if you search for 12x12 scrapbooking storage boxes you should find them. Here in the UK they’re by a company called Westernboxes. Hope that helps.
I enjoyed this. Thank you. And I will try to mess with all my Covid time baby wipes! Who knows?
Sounds like fun.
I put coffee filters on my gelli plate and did this too but I didn't do the whole wet then dry thing. They look fine and don't have folds etc.. it's like the getting with the paint and then drying in air ironed it out
Fantastic.
I'm waiting for you to do the butterfly
Ceri, I just found your demo on my feed. Your process looks like fun way to use my acrylic paints & old coffee filters. Will this craft be good for any age group, like grammar or elementary schools kiddos?
Mary the process would work for any age as long as supervised, as there are no sharp objects it should be safe. Paint could possibly be harmful if ingested so obviously that would need to be watched. Aprons would be a must. The trouble is that gel plates and brayers can be expensive, you may be able to do something similar with sheets of thick plastic, the paint could be spread or brushed on to the plastic then the paper laid over the top to pull the print. I’d say experiment and see what gives you similar results.
Ceri loved this stream. Did you spritz the coffee filters first and flatten?
Yes I wet them and then flattened them.
