  • Creating image transfers on gelatin plates is kind of like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get! This live class recording will teach you three ways to make image transfers on Gelli Arts Gelli plates. Two are hit and miss, depending on the paper and toner used on magazines and laser prints. The last one is the most foolproof way to create an image transfer on a gelatin print using a matte medium.
    Supplies:
    Gelli Arts plates 5 x7 and 6 x 6
    High contrast magazine images
    High contrast laser print images (photocopier)
    Fluid acrylic paints
    Golden Fluid matte medium
    Hotpress watercolor paper
    Sulfite paper
    Brayer

      I use Notanizer and Notan Live. One is free and the other is $1.99. Great apps!

    Great prints and tutorial, thank you. I'm curious, where did you get the round, flat brayer you were using?

      It's called a baren, it's a printer tool. It looks like she's using a speedball baren.

      Thank you Rita! Which stencils are you referring to? I usually get my stencils from the Crafters Workshop.
