Thank you! Cheers!

It was a very good place to visit.😊

It really is!

Thank you 🤗 and yes we had a great time.

Hope to get in and catch up for another great event

Thanks so much Edric! 😊 We are looking forward to Phuket and seeing you again too.

Thanks for your questions. The white specks could be lacing or missing paint. The lacing often has a halo around it. Often the white specks is just where the paint doesn't pick up off the surface. I wouldn't worry about the gelli plate not being clear. Over time they start to turn a bit more opaque. I would leave it as is. I generally only wash it to remove stubborn dried on paint.

If you are really good you can have some of my prints to play with!

Thanks so much 😊 I'm just itching to start using it.

It's a good way to start and it also uses up some of those art materials that are just sitting around the house!😄

I can spend a lot of time on that site finding all sorts of fascinating things. 😂

Thanks Angela, the big one is for Penang!

Thank you so much Ann. It's always great to hear from people who've been in the area as well. I really hope to get back there again in the future.

I hope so! Now I have to be disciplined and use it for it's intended purpose.😅

Thanks for your support, it is really appreciated. I see that recently many TH-camrs are reminding people that, unlike other platforms, subscriptions here are free and comments raise your channel profile in the algorithm.

@@leonieandrewsart4137 Yes! Viewers can raise your profile simply by pushing buttons. 💜

Thanks Mara! 🥰 Most of my videos feature gelli print on cloth. I learnt screen printing at art school, but using a gelli plate is so simple.

Thank you.😊

Thank you!😊 I am using Sailor fountain pen with a 'fude' (bent nib). It's my favourite pen. I bought it in Japan in 2016. Similar models are available online.

I'm enjoying using them. I just need to play some more.😊

@@leonieandrewsart4137 I wonder how they would go on a gelli plate

@@SharonBoggon I haven't tried that yet, but it is on the list! Thanks for reminding me.😊

Thanks for watching!

Happy to share and glad that you found it helpful.😊

Hi Terry, I'm so glad you are finding these helpful.😊!

That's certainly another way of doing this, but a pencil transfer probably won't show up on the glossy covers.

Let me know when. I'll look forward to seeing them.

Thank you Molly!

Thank you for watching.😊

Thanks Mary!❤

Thank you so much I'm glad you enjoyed it. 😊

Hi Mara, always lovely to hear from you. I agree I was really surprised to see that they had so much information on the makers. I spoke to the head textile conservator and she said most of these quilts have been donated by their families so they probably have more information than you might expect.

Hope you enjoy it!It's got the largest selection of Quilts shown from the collection. Also Gallery 20 has two more quilts on display.

Thanks for watching and your questions. I do heat set anything that is going to be washed. I mainly use my fabrics for quilting, so they only really have light washes. I haven't noticed any difference in the print quality between polyester and cotton fabric. If I was printing for a garment then I would use either fabric paint or definitely a textile medium with any general acrylic. I would heat set both. I always wash my printed fabrics in a mesh bag and on a short cycle, not a regular washing cycle. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the video helpful.🥰

Thanks, Selina. I appreciate your comment. 🥰

Thank you, Phoebe! That's lovely to hear.

Thank you do much!

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thanks for watching and apologies for not replying sooner.

Great idea Gale! I have used dried dyes in a similar way, but using it for more monoprints using screen-printing techniques. I do think using a gelli plate would work well with leaves. I haven't done much exploration along those lines. I would suggest you try laying a fairly thin layer of print paste down and pressing your leaves back side down to get the impression. Then, I would take the leaf off the plate and take my print. It might be a bit fiddly to tidy up around them, but I'm sure you could do it. I'd be happy to give it a try and see what works best, if that is of interest to you. If you give it a go please let me know how you go with it.

PS using a smooth and tightly woven fabric would help you get a good print.

@@leonieandrewsart4137 I'd love it if you'd try and do a video. Print paste is harder to control than acryllics -- how thick should the paste with dye be, and how thick the layers, and does it need to dry on the gelli at some point? G

Gale, thank you!😊 It is now on my list. May take a few weeks before you see it.

Thank you for watching. And yes I loved that result. Apologies for not responding sooner. TH-cam has not been showing me comments in my feed.😑

You are so welcome!

Both! Thank you for asking. I think the critical thing is the smoothness of the fabric surface. What it's made of is only an issue for me where practical textiles, quilts or clothing, are concerned. For my art piecesI use what I have. Also apologies for not responding sooner. TH-cam has not been showing me comments in my feed.😑

I haven't tried freezer paper, it's ludicrously expensive in Australia as it's not a common household product here. If you look at some of my more recent videos you will see that I have been using a 'weight' on my prints. That is the most consistent in giving me good contact results. Also apologies for not responding to your comment sooner. TH-cam has not been showing me comments in my feed 😕

You are welcome 😊

Yes, I have and the paint stays on fine. I do place them in a lingerie bag for washing.

Thank you so much!😊 Also apologies for not responding sooner. TH-cam has not been showing me the comments 😕 I have no idea why.

Thanks Jordan. I have done this ages ago, but I was much happier with the results this time.😊
