Hi Cindy - yes you are absolutely correct they are masks and I address that fact later in the video. I find it difficult to think, talk and "demonstrate" all at the same time.... obviously a senior moment. Thanks for pointing it out much appreciated 😊

Thank you so much Laura that's very kind. I too hadn't tried coloured paper before and was surprised and delighted with the result. The paper I used was pastel paper and it's something I will try again. Thanks once more. 😊

Hello Cally and thank you for your comment and question. Yes I feel that it worked really well. Here is the link to the long form video so you can judge for yourself. th-cam.com/video/tfnOdHQwnOk/w-d-xo.html Thank you once more ☺️

Thanks so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me that you enjoyed the video!

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments and insight into your creative compositions. Yes.....torn edges vs. straight cuts! It’s like choosing between a wild adventure and a well-planned holiday. I love your choice for that artistic flair and happily use it myself on other pieces. Thank you once more 😊

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments and insight into the fabulous world of Gelli Printing/Mono printing, you explained it far better than I could. It's fascinating how traditional techniques like monotype printing still have relevance in today's practices. Your explanation really highlights the beauty of the process! Thank you once more. 😊

Awww thank you Pamela, I am thrilled you enjoyed it. This video is part of a series so I hope that the other tutorials will also be helpful. Gelli printing is a fabulous way of expressing your creativity but be aware....... it's very addictive LOL. Thanks again and Happy Gelli printing 😊

Hi Arianna - thank you so much I am thrilled you enjoyed the video. I have never used those papers before on the Gelli plate so I was really surprised when they turned out as well as they did. Hope you have a go too. Thanks again 😊

Great video! Thanks!

Thank you so much! Your support means a lot to me. Happy Gelli printing!

Hi and thanks for the question. As you will see from the info on my channel I am an artist who uses digital art, mixed media, gelli printing , collage, photography and photoshop to aid me in producing my creative pieces. The colourful image you refer to is one of a series of images I put together for 2025 and is a combination of various gelli art prints, collage and digital art. I made the series so that my channel could be "easily recognised " by those people who follow what i do. How I created these colourful images has been scheduled for later this year. Thanks again for your question.

Hi Judy - you are absolutely correct and I apologise.... wrong title which I have changed. But the tips can be found in the long form video. Thanks for the comment, much appreciated 😊

Hi and thank you for your lovely comment. I bought the wet strength tissue paper from Amazon @ £16.95. Just type this into Amazon and you'll find it Carnival Papers Wet Strength Tissue Paper 60 Sheets Good quality.... would recommend. All the best for 2025

@ many thanks for your helpful reply

@You're more than welcome 😊

Hi Patti, and as always a big THANK YOU. This is the first of a number of videos relating to trying to "master " the art of Gelli printing. I find it to be lots of fun and frustration in equal measures. I am glad you found this video helpful and hope you enjoy the others that are scheduled for the next few weeks. All bests wishes for 2025 😊

Hi Vanessa and thanks for getting in touch and asking a question, much appreciated. I use the tissue papers in my mixed media projects either to frame as wall art or in my art journal. I have a couple of videos already uploaded demonstrating what I have done with my gelli plate textured papers but I have some new ones in the pipeline and will be uploading them soon. Thank you once more and all best wishes for 2025 😊

Awwww. - thank you so much Callycatus !! I really appreciate your kind words 😊

LOL - yes sometimes your "nightmare" of a pull is someones absolute dream 😊

LOL yes indeedy....... that happens more than I would expect it to !! The unpredictable "beauty" of gelli plate printing?. All the very best wishes for 2025 😊

Hello and thanks for the question. Yes the video you are asking about can be found using this link th-cam.com/video/6SKvaGbUUmM/w-d-xo.html. I will also add into the description box under the video just incase you can't pick it up here from my reply. I have lots of videos on how I make my textured papers and have linked all of them into a play list called Gelli Plate. Thank you once more for your question and I am thrilled you enjoyed the video. All best wishes for 2025.

Hello and thanks for the question. My TH-cam Thumbnails don't show the finished collage/gelli plate print instead I stick to a familiar "design" so that the people who subscribe to my channel "know it's me". This design is new for 2025 and I will be using it and similar colourful designs for the next few months. However, I am planning to show how I made these colourful thumbnails in a future video. Hope that answers your question and all very best wishes for 2025.😊

Thank you once again Janet - I would love to see what you produce. Hopefully 2025 will be your year to discover how creative you really are. All best wishes. 😊

Awww thank you so much I really appreciate your very kind words. I try and make things as easy to understand as possible . I love to pass on tips and tricks to encourage people to have a go themselves. No art background is good - follow your heart not art rules . Enjoy 😊

Hi Sheila - thanks for the question. I used a variety of papers ...... printer copier paper (laser), Carnival wet strength tissue paper and Japanese Calligraphy Paper. Hope that helps 😊

@@butterflysmind thanks for replying

@@sheilabassett3188 My pleasure 😊

Awww thank you so much I really appreciate your lovely comment. All the very best for 2025 😊

Awww thank you so much Arianna - I have to say your lovely comments have the same effect on me. All the very best for the coming year 😊

Where do you get the initial images? (e.g., the girl’s head?) Thanks in advance!

@@maam9840 Thanks for the question. I have created the portraits myself - I have quite a number of them lol. If enough people are interested I could put a selection together and offer them as a download from my website. Hope that answers your question and thanks once again 😊 PS best wishes, health and happiness for 2025

Hi Arianne - Procreate is a fab digital programme that you use on your iPad. It costs (a one off payment) of $12.99. You use an Apple Pencil to draw on the screen and the marks you make mimic pencil, charcoal, watercolours, oil etc etc. I use it as a "tool" to try out my ideas before I "waste" paint/paper/canvas - I find it an invaluable first step to my projects. You will find lots and lots of info via TH-cam. To me it is invaluable in my workflow. Hope that helps.

Thank you for the info. Joan. I will have to buy Apple devices. Not possible for me at this time. Sounds very interesting though.

@@Arianna1308 it’s a brilliant thing but would be very expensive if you aren’t a Mac user xx

Awww thank you Jacqueline so much that's very kind, and much appreciated.

That's very kind - thank you so much 😊

Your very welcome

Awww thank you so much 😊

Thank you that's a very good point and I am grateful you have passed it one. Thanks again 😊

Hi Susie - thanks for the question . Here are the acrylic paint details (I have also listed them in the description underneath the video) ARTEZA PEARL SKY BLUE, ARTEZA PEARL ROSE QUARTZ, ARTEZA PEARL PASTEL GREEN, ARTEZA PEARL GOLDEN HOUR. GOLDEN QUINACRIDONE MAGENTA. Hope that helps and thanks once again 😊

Thank you so much Michelle I am thrilled that you found the video helpful. I hope to continue to do more videos in the future. Thank you once again. 😊

Hello and thanks for the question. The blue that I used was opaque and I totally agree with you that the transparency/opacity of the paint makes a HUGE difference. Thank you once more 😊

Awww thank you so much for your lovely comments and generous support. I enjoy making the videos and passing on what I have learned in the hope that it helps others. I've made lots of tutorials and I hope that they are of interest to you. I would love to see your results and if I can be of fany urther help please let me know. Thank you once more 😊

I am overwhelmed !!!! Thank you so much for your extremely kind generosity 😊

Thank you to you too for leaving a comment. Much appreciate 😊 Yes..... using the Gelli plate can be full of surprises (and disappointments) but it really is a lot of fun. Thanks once again

Thank you - as always, Arianna 😊

Thank you Arianna , you are more than welcome 😊

aww thank you that’s very kind - I’m afraid my choice of music isn’t to everyone’s taste but I do try….. There are lots more. ideas to come so I hope you continue to enjoy the arty part and the accompanying tunes. Thank you once again 😊

Hi Arianna - I have listed the names etc of the colours used in the description, you will find the green and blue colours there. I couldn’t read the actual name on the Pebeo tube (smeared with paint) but I did identify it by its number . hope that helps and hope the rest of your day was equally relaxing . Thank you once again x
