Homemade vs Commercial Gelli Plates

Thank you !
How long do they last
I still have the ones that I made for this video. To me it seems like they get better over time. The alcohol should keep them from spoiling.
Does anyone think that I can just do 1.5 part alc : 1.5 part glc : 1 part gel : 3 parts water regardless of actual measurements? As long as I keep the ratios the same?
I have increased the recipe keeping the ratios the same and it worked for me.
Thank you. Very informative. I've made a few smaller silkscreens using this method, and used 110 mesh silkscreen fabric, which was only $9.99 at Amazon for 3 yards. It will last me forever I think! Here's my question: The HTV I got a few years ago is in a packet of several colors, and obviously it doesn't matter what color it is for the purpose of silkscreening. But I would love it if the vinyl were transparent, so I could see exactly where the silkscreen will be applied. When I searched for clear HTV, the results were for sublimation. So I'm wondering if it the sublimation HTV will be the same as the colored kind in terms of strength, etc.
I have to say that is such an interesting idea! I don't want to give you an answer on this because I just don't know. I have to say that I do think it is worth a try and I would love to know how it works!
This is the best explanation for making a gelli plate. Now, I'm going to go make my very first gelli plate following Kathy's instructions!!! Thank you!!
Thanks. I hope it works well for you!
Distress inks won’t work on homemade but will on manufactured plate.
Thanks for the comment. I do agree that the home Gelli plates do have their limitations. Sorry it didn’t work out!
Love it. Thanks so much for this information ❤❤❤
You are SO welcome!
kathy, what alcohol do you use?
I used 91% isopropyl alcohol from Walmart.
I'm about to have a go at making my own gelli plates. While I am waiting for my gelatin to arrive, I've been wondering if adding a small amount of preservative to the mix would be beneficial in any way. I have a number of different types on hand because I make my own skin care products. I discovered you on Clayshare. Great stuff!
I think the alcohol keeps the gelatin from spoiling but pass that I’m not sure. I think it’s a very interesting concept and if it were me, I would absolutely try it. I would love to hear the results. Great job.
Many instructions don't include Alcohol. Why do some of them? What's the benefit?
Since gelatin is a food item I think it keeps it from spoiling
today 8/13/2024, I tried to find the Amaco Inks at different pottery supply stores. Any idea when the Inks might be available?
There has been a delay but it should be very soon!!!
Thank you. I needed such of recipe without using of a microwave. Your video is perfect.
Thanks so much! I'm glad it helped.
@@kathyskaggs4245 thank you. Can’t wait to try it. Want smaller ones-5x7 and circle. Can you use about anything for molds? New to the gel plate fun!! Kathy
@@Katmcb-r5u Can't wait to hear all about the shapes - great idea!
How that's really cool thank you for the session really liked it and learned alot 😊
Thank you so much... I paint larger paintings. So this size is right up my alley. 😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes so great for bigger printing!
Hello, thank you for this amazing video tutorial! I would like to know if you can reuse the stencil after printing with the ink on the slab? Thank you a lot if you can answer! Xxx
If you question is if you can reuse the Ikon Stencil Art silkscreens - yes you can. I wash them and use them over and over. After I wash them I replace them on a plastic sheet or plastic wrap so they don't stick together.
Can I fire the bisque tile at cone 5? Thanking you in advance Kathy
The tile I’m using for the video is a low fire tile, but the technique should work at cone 5 if your tile is rated for that.
Is it safe to fire gel medium? What about fumes?
I tried to see if I could smell anything when firing and I didn't. If your concerned about it you may want to substitute wax as a resist. Hope that helps!
Thank You!!
Thank you for the video. Is there a reason that you didn’t just press the inked gel plate to the clay forgoing the tissue paper? And when there is remaining ink on the plate, just stamp it on another tissue for a second print
I found it difficult to print on the clay without it smearing but if you can get it to work that would be great!
Thanks Kathy!😀
Thanks Ms. Kathy! Gelli Plates are brand new to me. You are really motivating me!
Thank you so much!
Are we talking hours or days to dry?
It will take days not hours. It depends on where you live, if it's dry or humid.
Great video, yours is the best set of instructions I have seen! Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤️
Thanks for this! Subscribed 😊
Hey Kathy, can you mix the new amaco inks to make different colors? Love printmaking. On clay blows my mind.
Just watched your TH-cam on new amaco inks. Fun! Can you mix these colors?
Thank you! I have wanted to do gelli printing with a group of kids, but it was way, way above my budget. You just brought it into our grasp!
Perfect instructions!! Thank you!! I made 2 Gelli plates with your instructions and they came out beautifully.
I’m so glad to hear that!
Soo good and great to review after last week’s vegas workshop.
Thanks!
So great to see how they perform. Those new velvet underglazes really seem worth it. Thanks as always!
Thank YOU for watching!
Ive watched quite a few videos about making these. Yours is the best... easy to follow and you give measurements that can easily be adjusted as well as ingredients that can be brought in most countries. Example is some videos will just say to buy the sachets but no details of grams used. In New Zealand those sachets/brand are not available. Thanks for making a universal video!
I’m sorry I’m just not sure and I don’t want to suggest something that doesn’t work.
I cant use the use light kits (wrong plug) but I can get a 30W led lamp in NZ. Your light casts blue purple. Is that something I need to ask for when I buy the lamp here?
This was super helpful!! One question though: Can you apply the ink to either side of the stencil? I want to print onto transfers, and it will have words, so I need a mirror image. Trying to figure out if I need to make the screen backwards. Thank you!!
Yes you can!
Only one coat of underglaze?
One coat will show some streaks but 2 or 3 it looks solid.
❤
I wonder what a cup I equivalent to in European measurement. in milliliters?
I always google questions like this and easily find the answer.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!
Great video! Short and clear instructions! I’m curious, how long do they plates last? 😊
I still have the first ones I made. I think they get better to longer they sit.
I enjoyed this video…thanks!
You are so welcome!
Kathy, would you know what are the finest tips for detailing?
What cone?
The the tile I did in the video is low fire cone 05 but you could also do the process at a higher temperature.
Hi Kathy, I just bumped into your video. You did an excellent job on it. I make silk screen templates with HTV as well but I use silkscreen fabric and I found your suggestion of using organza and curtain sheer fabrics fascinating. It makes perfect sense too. I’ll have to try it and see how I like it. Thank you for sharing. 👍🌺
You are so welcome. Hope it works for you too!
Can you use stroke and coat too?
I love the way you explain! Continue doing more videos! ❤❤❤
Hey if it’s cheaper to get the Gelli plate I would do that!
keep in mind DIY budgets are different in different states and cities. in NYC it's more expensive to get the gelatin, glycerin, and the EtOH than to buy the plate itself. it would've come to $38, while the 8x10 plate is only $25.
Yeah, but, she made an 11x17, over twice as big, and you can't even buy that size. I made some small plates not quite the equivalent of one 8x10 for $5 in supplies so NYC costs must be outrageous!
Absolutely, you can make any amount.
Sorry I don’t know anything about that.
I also have some spectrum RACs raised under glaze do you think that might work for this project
