- In this demo (from my workshop on Keeping an Illustrated Journal) I show you how to make your own gelli plate and how to make some simple prints to use as under paintings for plant studies.

The nice thing about using the gel plate is you don't need much paint...a few drops spread out thinly applied delivers nice results. TFS
Thank you for showing a few new ideas for gelli printing. Love the use of live plants and the meat trays!
Now - THIS is Gelli Printing !!!Fantastic ! Thank you . Kind regards - Judi - Australia
You are welcome!
Thank you for sharing your ideas! Very nice! 😊💕
Thank you Alison,you have renewed my interest in my gelli plate,I use mine to make collage papers 😊
I’m loving your videos. Thankyou so much.
Gail--so glad you are enjoying the videos!
Gel printing is so experimental, full of suprises, and sooo addictive! Enjoyed watching you work/play! Love the foam printing plate. I use palette paper or an additional gel plate to mix my paints😊
Oooh I can’t wait to try this !! 😮
Just what I needed...another rabbit hole to go down!! Thank you so much for these wonderful ideas. Now where did I put that Gelli plate?
A ball point pen works very well in scoring the foam. The mark will be a little wider and deeper which creates a clearer design. It gives a smoother feel when creating your design also. I saw it on a video but dont remember where. I enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing!
hurry and come to france! i need to take a workshop with you!!
Jane, if you register for my mailing list on my website, you will be sure to hear about my next France trip.
You could have softened the edges of the foam impression stamp on the Gelli plate with a damp cloth, sponge or Q tip so there isn't another hard edge.
Thanks Eva!
Really interesting and fin
What is a Rena (? Spelling) board and where can I purchase one? Really enjoyed this RUclips presentation and I made a geli plate. Thank you
Thanks a Lot for sharing!
It would ve really useful if
you could give the amounts
of the ingredients in grams
and mIligrams.Thank you !
I would like to see how you use these prints in artwork etc..
I can't send you images here. I like to integrate them into collages or print right onto mixed media paintings on paper, where I interact with the image with paint.
Thank you for this great demo. What have you found to be best way to clean the acrylic paint off the brayer?
I just scrub it lightly with a soft scrubber. I don't mind a bit of paint on it as long as it hasn't built up and left texture on the brayer. The best think is to get it into water as soon as you use it
Hello Allison, enjoyed your demonstration. Where & how do you store your handmade plate.
I keep my plates on a hard level surface, covered, either with glass or parchment paper.
Great ideas, thank you! Are you using basic printer paper just for examples? Otherwise, do you use mixed media paper, print making paper, etc??
,
I'm using computer paper, but you could use all kinds of paper. Deli paper is good too.
What kind of paper can you use?
I was just using computer paper. But I have all kinds of papers I use with gelli printing: tissue paper rice paper, dress patterns, deli paper!
If you wanted to paint something onto your base Gelli prints, does the copy paper hold up? Is there another smooth paper that would be suitable?
any paper would work. I was using the copy paper for work that would be glued into a visual journal. But you can print onto a higher quality paper, a good drawing paper; a 90 lb hot press watercolour paper would print beautifully.
Instead of using pencil to indent the butchers foam . Why not use an old ballpoint pen this would leave a clearer deeper impression and achieve desired imprint. Margaret
yes, I have since switched to that technique, thanks
what is the foam you are using to draw on? i heard meat packing foam
yes, it is the foam that meat or fish comes packaged in, in the grocery store here.
Very nice ideas, thank you ❤️ How long does the home made gelliplate last?
I think if you store them carefully--ie between two sheets of glass or plexiglass, they can last a long time. The ones made with glycerine don't even need to be refrigerated
@@alisonwatt8570 I’ve watched a couple hundred gel plate videos and not heard about a homemade plate you don’t have to refrigerate, even one with glycerin. Or heard of one without glycerin. 🤯 But I learn something new almost every time I watch a gp video. While I’m here, do you mean to call your styrofoam texture plate a “stencil”? If so, would you enlighten me about why? I’m accustomed to thinking of things like the viney botanical stencil as stencils. Thanks for some great new ideas to try and a beautiful color - the teal, yellow ochre and white, contrasted with NAG. Gawjus!
Hi, thanks for feedback. I guess I called it a stencil for lack of another word for it. Any ideas?
@@alisonwatt8570 It’s a texture plate. If you search online for stencils, you don’t see anything that looks like what you’re calling a “stencil.” You get flat, two dimensional sheets with cut out designs.
So you're not going to admit that she used a tan too much paint
