      Truth be told, it's not Gelli Arts, it's Drew Streinbrecher who has organised the summit. He was the one who reached out. Not sure I'd be the best ambassador for Gelli Arts because I use a mix of brands and couldn't cope with the distraction of having to place their products constantly!!!!

    My mom wrote craft books in the 80's and 90's, many using textile medium. I grew up with the stuff. To heat set, we would just toss things in the dryer. I still have a shirt my mom painted for my grandma and the paint has not changed. We used various types of acrylics and textile mediums with no issues. I guess she did tend to use the mediums in the squirt bottles. It also allows you to tie dye with a spray bottle with cold water outside. I'm a big fan of textile medium lol.
    One suggestion for printing on clothes is to use a waxed piece of cardboard inside your garment to keep it smooth and easy to move around if you need to. The wax keeps the paint from sticking to the board. They used to sell t-shirt boards at the craft stores for this.
    I just recently fell down the rabbit hole of gelli plates. Now I want to see what I can do on some recycled clothing lol. Thanks for the reminder!

      @@phoebebaker1575 that's a good thought! I don't use fabric softener, I use wool dryer balls. I wonder if that abrasiveness will affect the longevity of the paint on the t-shirt. I would probably hang to dry in any event but it's worth thinking longer down the path.

    There are many brands of fabric paint and my shirts lasted far more than 28 washes. You can also buy a tshirt form that is made of cardboard in the art supply catalog or like I said just use some stiff foam core. I used to paint direct on the shirts or sweatshirts with stiff fabric paint brushes. You have to push it through the cotton. I still have a sweatshirt I painted over 20 years ago.

  • @andreaslightangels

    T shirts move. So get an a4 piece of cardboard and centre the printing area, then wrap the excess cloth and secure with a rubber band behind board. Make sure weave is straight. Much easier😊

I have taken a couple of classes, at some expense, both online and in person, and still have to credit you with being the most informative about all the different ways I can create prints. I am mostly printing on textiles, and some of your techniques work much better on paper…but I thank you for encouraging me to continue experimenting with what will work!

    @selenadixon3108 Год назад +1

    the freezer paper we have here is a plastic layer on paper back. For quilting stencils, we iron the stencil plastic side down and it sticks lightly to the fabric, easy to remove later. You could do this for your freezer paper stencils on fabric before you "paint" with you gel plate. Maybe ou did this and I missed that part, I saw spray sticky - this would eliminate that step. Great info to know it works on fabric!

    Awesome work! I'm particularly glad to learn that the image transfers work better with the screen printing medium added to the paint. I'd be interested to learn how well the fabric medium works on paper, as well. I got some advice from an art supply store, some time ago, that you don't need to set or otherwise treat fabric products when used on paper, since they'll never be washed. I'm curious to know your experience with this. Thanks for once again pushing boundaries, here. I can't wait to see where you go with these techniques!

    Wonderful video as always. I really appreciate how you use the 'tools' as tools, and not a prescription for the sort of art to create with them. Thanks for that! I saw Drew Streinbrecher's post in Instagram the other day, and was absolutely thrilled to see your name among the artists. I just may have to get a birthday gift for myself with the early bird pricing. 😄
