Thank you for sharing with us. If I can make a suggestion? Use a 4" brayer -- it won't leave the "edge" streaks. I think that will solve the brayering problems.
Awesome thanks for sharing. Be blessed, be safe, be crafty, be positive, happy crafting on a budget. Happy everything on a budget. See you in the next video and on the flipside.
So good you show what goes wrong as well as the perfect stuff. Way better to know why this happens when you get to try it yourself! thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and commenting. We are going live this afternoon and would love for you to join us for more fun on the gel plate.
I have really enjoyed watching and listening, I've learnt more and chuckled so much at some of the made up words you've used. Only because I do the same. And after the day I've had, it was very much needed. You're a natural, thank you. For making my day. Sending the warmest of hug from here in South Wales. X
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. We love to help and laughing while helping is a super bonus. This was a while back and now we do lives each Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. The time difference might be tricky but would love to invite you or catch the replays. Thank you again.
Love this. I wish I had watched it before I ordered more expensive paints. These pulls look great. I understand about you making videos being important to you. Since COVID my desire to any art has dried up. Your videos are helping me to get back in my studio. Thank you!
Hello 👋 I hope you're safe over there? I am Marco from Key West Florida 🇱🇷and you? I hope this year brings prosperity happiness and love💞all over the world🤗🙏
This was just a lovely video to watch. Please make this the last time that you begin your videos anxious about your abilities (read about imposter syndrome). Your demonstration is easy to follow. You have a lovely voice. I love how you did it over and over to show that it doesn't work perfectly each time. I learned that humidity is important and practice, practice. Thank you for taking the time to teach us this technique.
Kari, Thank you for the most heart warming advice truly so nice. I have told P this many times that we can just do what do and people will respect that. Thank you, Thank you. PS this one was a little while back and P has gotten much better at being on camera. xoxo
Thank you for appreciating this! It is what I wanted someone else to do because I learn from repetition. Keeping the variables the same was important and showing what NOT to do is also important.
Awwwwwh.....l ABSOLUTELY loved your video 😀 not only because my dearest mummy whom we lost 2 yrs ago was called MARIA ❤ it was just enjoyable to watch n learn from you.....and l loved the banter between you both.....thankyou so so much for making my morning better for this time...I'm just getting over the sudden lost of my lovely husband in April.......so you have nearly inspired me to treat myself and try thus for fun.....we'll see.....!!!!! But THANKYOU, l really enjoyed watching 👏👏👏💞💞💞💞 oh....and love from Ireland ☘☘☘
Welcome and you have warmed our hearts, please do treat yourself. Art can be just the thing to help in healing and celebrating when you need it. We are both so happy you enjoyed watching and enjoyed us as well.
Thank you so much P. I really really enjoyed watching you create those prints of your beautiful and gorgeous granddaughter. And thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and know how with us all too. I really really love ❤️ your no nonsense approach, which is really really helpful and useful too. And thank M for the running commentary too!!!!!! His is what makes you girls so special. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags
I don’t know why you say you’re no good at the videos, I thought you did a fabulous job! Your personality shines through and I loved it. I think you and I would get along great! Enjoyed watching your process, you have such a wonderful model. I am curious, why such a tiny brayer? Would a larger one prevent the streak that happened early on?
You are so sweet (this is M)... P really is good she just doesn't like doing the videos, but she really is quite good as demonstrating. It is the teacher in her.
Hello 👋 I hope you're safe over there? I am Marco from Key West Florida🇱🇷and you? I hope this year brings prosperity happiness and love💞all over the world🤗🙏
I think it is worth having around... we have used it for all sorts of things. Love using the prints for sprays as they don't bleed like the inkjet prints.
Thank you so much!! It looks like so much fun!! And addictive!! Boy after learning to make journals I want to try this!! I just saw a woman doing this with ink!! So beautiful too!! Thank you for teaching and sharing!! You all are the best!!

This was my second - or third - time through! I appreciate how simple you make it. I was watching someone who had taught printing for years and I felt for her since she made it so complicated! I have misplaced my 4" round and 3x5" and really want to do small right now! I appreciate all of your tips! I so wish YT would let us see those red marks that show we have already watched again! I'm enjoying rewatching a lot though.....
Great job on this! Well done! I have tried and tried and tried. So many different kinds of paper, and paint! And photographs. And I finally gave up after pulling out all my hair. But I am seeing that the photograph makes a big difference! Can you offer any suggestions on how to get that wonderful contrast that seems to be so important. I have grandchildren I have been taking pictures of, but cannot seem to get the right B&W contrast that seems so important. Any tips?
Yes the contrast is super important and so is the laser print itself. Adjust the contrast on your photos giving them the most true black areas as the grays most likely will not transfer. When you print the laser prints be sure to have the settings to the highest quality so it puts down as much toner as it can. Good luck and thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much for quick reply! I will have another go at it today , looking for higher contrast photographs in my camera. I live in Austin where it is fairly humid. Thinking I won’t need the retarder paint??? Do you use it according to the weather or humidity levels?
Hello Janet, Yes wet wipes especially the high tinsel strength natural ones from Amazon are our got tos. That being said you will want to condition your plate from time to time with mineral oil... here is a quick review of that th-cam.com/users/shortsB8XSCH1FhII

@Hunter Isaias i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Hunter Isaias WTF IT ACTUALLY WORKED :O I just hacked my ig account within roughly 40 minutes by using the site. Had to pay 15$ but for sure worth the price :) Thanks so much you saved my account!
P you do a great job with the camera! Love this process and, my goodness, what great pictures!! Do you print ink jet or laser? I think I missed it when you said it🤦🏻♀️
Thanks Peg! P is good once she has the camera up and going, I love her in the videos. These are made with the laser printer, an HP LaserJet Pro M404 to be exact. Please note there are different models and the letters after the numbers indicate whether they are wifi or not. Highly recommend wifi, ours is not so it was a bit trickier getting it setup.
I am laughing because I bought an HP B&W laser only printer online for a really good price. Then I learned that it was not WIFI receptive(I don't know the correct terminology for this). Thankfully my daughter and husband are tech savvy and they fixed it. It works great but get ready for a blow to your pocket book when you restock the cartridge!
@@patriciarcarmichael1219 😂I have the WiFi capable hp laser jet but don’t have it hooked up because my studio is detached from house and my internet doesn’t reach!
Did I miss whether you used an Inkjet or Toner? I assume it was toner, but some people have success with inkjet. Thanks for the video. Lots of useful info.
update.... others also asked and in comment replies she says she's using laser toner and that inkjet doesn't work for this method omgosh i was also just watching this now lol and was wondering the same thing, hunting through the comments questions to find out, might go to her website
Thank you and yes you are correct about them being Laser Prints... we also have some newer videos/livestream replays where we explore Laster Prints even further. Here is the one we did today if you would like to check it out... th-cam.com/video/ymoVP_FV5mU/w-d-xo.html
Lollygag and Fabulosa LOL those are towards our use myself. I was actually adding retarder directly to the plate and I was getting some streaks. So of course it makes sense just to mix it in the paint before you apply it LOL. Sometimes in the middle of pulling multiple prints I’ll actually clean my jelly plate and rub it with olive oil. So you’re right about hitting the Sweet Spot. You did a great job with this video I really learned a lot.
Interesting and a little different from other sites where paint is allowed to dry before print is pulled. I would prefer traditional image transfer using wintergreen oil for photos but offset method on gelli for typeface appeals. A friend got result using advertising brochure for this.
Thank you for watching and commenting. We are always trying new things, new approaches and usually do end up a little different than others. We do hope this one among many reasons people watch. With this technique, you can create transfers from more personal photos and that is pretty neat.
Ziggy there are some points where P shows to much paint here in this video... you might want to check out this laser print transfer video for a bit more information on getting good transfers with even more talk on papers, paints and the types of images that work the best. th-cam.com/video/9aYrrqf-yAY/w-d-xo.html Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Thanks for the video, there are many good tips in here. I’m ready to go back into the studio and try again after a day of failures. Think I’ve been leaving too much ink on the plate. Also, I’ve been working too big. Good advice to start small until I get some successes on the table. PS: I’ve been rolling my excess ink onto sketchbook pages for backgrounds. I have lots of backgrounds now! Also, like you, I can’t recall where I saw a video or who made it and I often want to return to watch it again. If you “Like” it, it stays in your library. Backup memory.
Ishra, Thank you... I keep telling P about checking her History😂. The backgrounds are so handy and I keep finding ways to use them. Thank you again for watching and so happy you commented, we love them.
Loved it! You did a great job narrating and demonstrating. Thanks for following through with the group's request to make a video. That was very quick and very well executed. XO
P is going to be so happy to hear this and thank you so so much for commenting! And watching other videos, ahhh I am so elated (this is M). I am sure P will comment back when she gets online.
Hello 👋 I hope you're safe over there? I am Marco from Key West Florida 🇱🇷and you? I hope this year brings prosperity happiness and love💞all over the world🤗🙏
We are in the Dallas area and sometimes it is quite humid but not like in other areas. But certainly not like being in the panhandle area which is where we used to live. Not sure there is enough paint retarder for gel printing there. Thank you for watching!
Thank you Evelyn! I am just paying back to this community of artists that have always answered my questions and made it possible for what you see here!
I can’t believe I have never watched this. Izzy is so beautiful! I was trying to transfer the Alien Script and had no success. I went through an entire sheet. I decided it was time to go back to basics. I’m thinking it was too much paint. BTW I think Birgit Koopman is one of the best. Hugs ❤️😍😻
Thank you we cherish the book P ended up making with these images and I was so proud of P for doing this video. I have tried to get her to do another one but really this was a superb session with getting the image transfers. Yes, Birgit is quite impressive on the plate.
For this type of image transfer the printed copies are from an HP LaserJet printer. InkJets will not work with this type of image transfer. Note it is also a good idea to run the prints twice to build up the toner on the paper before attempting the gel print pull.
Hello, love your videos. I was wondering... do you print the photos onto the hammerhill paper and then transfer them on the gel plate? Or do you use real photos?
Yes, we do indeed and in fact, I would like to invite you to this Sunday live stream. We will be doing some watercolors but will also be bringing in more of our laser-printed designs. Thank you so much for watching and for your sweet compliment.
It could depending on your end goal... The lovely thing about the gel plates is that they are flexible and that in itself creates a certain look when transferring the images or especially when monoprinting in general.
Yes indeed and P has quite the selection of sizes now. This was one of our first videos. You should check out a replay or join us live sometime 😊 . We stream Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday
You can but it is really tricky and depending on what your subject matter is, the quality of the image and paint--well it's just easier to start with dark color and pull with a light color. It is easier to pull with the metallic rather rather than get a good transfer using it. I will be doing some of this on the live tomorrow at 10 am CST if you would like to watch.
Thank you for asking 💞 It is an HP LaserJet Pro M404... the network version meaning no wifi. We highly recommend the version with Wifi capabilities as it is much easier to setup.
Hello 👋 I hope you're safe over there? I am Marco from Key West Florida🇱🇷and you? I hope this year brings prosperity happiness and love💞all over the world🤗🙏
El papel es uno de los factores, nuestra recomendación es utilizar un papel de copia premium como el papel de copia en color Hammermill de 32 libras. La cantidad y el tipo de pintura influyen en una impresión exitosa.
Sue it is sort of the software, meaning you want to alter the photos so you are getting good contrast. The other part is printing the image twice on the best quality setting on your laser printer. What that does is bumps up the ink on the printed photo which in turn gives the paint on the plate something to grab. Hopefully, this helps, and let us know if it did.
Hello 👋 I hope you're safe over there? I am Marco from Key West Florida🇱🇷and you? I hope this year brings prosperity happiness and love💞all over the world🤗🙏
That is true P now has a few and loves the larger brayer.... Here is a link to all P's favorites now that she has been gel printing for over a year. pmartiststudio.com/f/gel-plate-printing-products-wish-list
Ohhh definitely and P now has a few sizes of brayers to tackle all sorts of plates sizes and needs. This was when she first started and had some basic supplies. Thank you so much for watching.
I thought your video was very well done and informative from a real person. For me (this is just my opinion) I would not have the friend chattering in the background. I didn't think that was helpful. But you did cover some important points. I loved that you use a wallpaper seam brayer. LOL. That was very cool.
Thanks for sharing your method! I discovered your channel through Susan's. You did a fantastic job explaining and demonstrating. I'm definitely getting some of that paint retarder 😃 x.x 🤗💕🌈🌸🦋🐛🌼
Nathalie, Welcome and so great you came from Susan's recommendation! Thank you for watching and glad you liked it. If you ever have questions just let us know here or we are on Facebook and Instagram too!
It makes a world of difference! Golden paint makes a paint called "open" which means it has more moisture and dries less quickly on the plate. I just use regular paint with the retardant added; go easy on it and add a little bit at a time because it will stay sticky longer if you add too much. Um...that was experience talking and some prints stuck together as a result.
@@retroqueenbeeart we had a specific project in mind it is shown here in this review A Year In Review Our 2020 Journals | LIVE STREAM th-cam.com/users/liveBfjYjMPCwVM?feature=share

Thank you so so much (momma of baby), P really captured some great moments both in the photos and in the transfers. Welcome to our channel, thank you for watching and we would love to see your grand baby too!!!!
Thank you I've never seen anything like this!! Question: #1-What exactly is a "gel plate"? #2-What exactly do you do with these beautiful pictures? Anything you want!! No but seriously... What do YOU do with them? ❤❤🤗🤗
@@leslieweaver4111 well, I’m sure PM artist studio could tell you better than me! #1, the gel plate is literally like it says... gel. I think on you tube there are even tutorials on how to make them! They feel in hand like a stiff piece of jello.. The “gel” absorbs the ink and then depending on the layers/ textures you use will depend on the outcome of your “pull”! I would suggest if you have never done gelli printing to defiantly try it, but I must warn you, you will need lots of room for drying, and it’s very addictive! I hope you are inspired and share with the group! We are always grateful to see new aspects of art!
@@leslieweaver4111 Kristi explained it very nicely and we use them for journals, ATCs, collage. They are great backgrounds for all sorts of of pieces 💕💖
Chris thank you so much for joining us here and on the live today! We will eventually have a dual-camera setup so you can see us and what we are working on.
You might want to check out some of our newer videos with image transfers... Sometimes we do use rice paper for the pull. The premium copy papers get a more detailed transfer. Here is a link to one of our latest videos th-cam.com/video/-5ygJeh24TA/w-d-xo.html
Dianna, the music was added with much thought and consideration in both style and volume. If you are using headphones this does seem to boost the volume of the music. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing with us. If I can make a suggestion? Use a 4" brayer -- it won't leave the "edge" streaks. I think that will solve the brayering problems.
Great tip and Thank you so much for watching and commenting we truly appreciate it.

Interesting and a little different from other sites where paint is allowed to dry before print is pulled.
I would prefer traditional image transfer using wintergreen oil for photos but offset method on gelli for typeface appeals.
A friend got result using advertising brochure for this.
Thank you for watching and commenting. We are always trying new things, new approaches and usually do end up a little different than others. We do hope this one among many reasons people watch. With this technique, you can create transfers from more personal photos and that is pretty neat.
You can let it dry and pull the print with another color--I'm not very good at waiting watching paint dry so this is how I do it.:)
This was an excellent tutorial...thank you so much!
Linda, Thank you so much for watching and leaving this comment. We appreciate it greatly.
Would using a slightly larger brayer prevent some of the lines in the print?
Yes indeed it would and P has since moved up to a larger one. That said we have also become fond of some prints with the brayer marks.
Thanks for your video. It was very informative, particularly about getting the plate moist enough. I think that’s what my problem is. Again thank you
Our pleasure and thank so much for watching and commenting 💖✨
Would like to see an example of too much ink? Some look too dry to me? Thanks for this tutorial….you’re awesome!
Ziggy there are some points where P shows to much paint here in this video... you might want to check out this laser print transfer video for a bit more information on getting good transfers with even more talk on papers, paints and the types of images that work the best. th-cam.com/video/9aYrrqf-yAY/w-d-xo.html Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Thanks thus looks fun!
It is and we plan to do more in our coming lives with this and other laser print techniques 💕✨
Thanks for the video, there are many good tips in here. I’m ready to go back into the studio and try again after a day of failures. Think I’ve been leaving too much ink on the plate. Also, I’ve been working too big. Good advice to start small until I get some successes on the table.
PS: I’ve been rolling my excess ink onto sketchbook pages for backgrounds. I have lots of backgrounds now!
Also, like you, I can’t recall where I saw a video or who made it and I often want to return to watch it again. If you “Like” it, it stays in your library. Backup memory.
Ishra, Thank you... I keep telling P about checking her History😂. The backgrounds are so handy and I keep finding ways to use them. Thank you again for watching and so happy you commented, we love them.
Loved it! You did a great job narrating and demonstrating. Thanks for following through with the group's request to make a video. That was very quick and very well executed. XO
P is going to be so happy to hear this and thank you so so much for commenting! And watching other videos, ahhh I am so elated (this is M). I am sure P will comment back when she gets online.

So interesting...thank you for sharing🌹🦋
Thank you and our pleasure 💖✨
After you get the picture on the plate, before you pull the print can you put another colour on top and then pull ?
Yes but you will want to let the image dry then apply the pull layer.
The stencils are unique. Thank you for sharing!🎃
Glad you like them! Thank you so much.
What kind of paper is best to print the image on--meaning what type of paper should I use in my printer to print the photo?
We use the Hammermill Printer Paper, Premium Color 32 lb Copy Paper amzn.to/3m2iAXg for both the print and the pull.
@@PMartistStudio Thanks!
I'm in Texas and it's so humid we feel like we are drowning at times. You must be out west.
We are in the Dallas area and sometimes it is quite humid but not like in other areas. But certainly not like being in the panhandle area which is where we used to live. Not sure there is enough paint retarder for gel printing there. Thank you for watching!
This is a lot of good info. Thanks!
Our pleasure and thank you for commenting Evelyn!
Thank you Evelyn! I am just paying back to this community of artists that have always answered my questions and made it possible for what you see here!
@@patriciarcarmichael1219 I understand that. I have always loved art but I needed direction. “I was lost and now I am found.” 🙀👍🏼😉
I love this!
Thanks, Paul and welcome to our channel!
I can’t believe I have never watched this. Izzy is so beautiful! I was trying to transfer the Alien Script and had no success. I went through an entire sheet. I decided it was time to go back to basics. I’m thinking it was too much paint. BTW I think Birgit Koopman is one of the best. Hugs ❤️😍😻
Thank you we cherish the book P ended up making with these images and I was so proud of P for doing this video. I have tried to get her to do another one but really this was a superb session with getting the image transfers. Yes, Birgit is quite impressive on the plate.
Hi ladies, thank you for the video! Is the prints from an inkjet or a laser printer?
For this type of image transfer the printed copies are from an HP LaserJet printer. InkJets will not work with this type of image transfer. Note it is also a good idea to run the prints twice to build up the toner on the paper before attempting the gel print pull.
Hello, love your videos. I was wondering... do you print the photos onto the hammerhill paper and then transfer them on the gel plate? Or do you use real photos?
Yes, we do indeed and in fact, I would like to invite you to this Sunday live stream. We will be doing some watercolors but will also be bringing in more of our laser-printed designs. Thank you so much for watching and for your sweet compliment.
Thank you so much! You are inspiring me!
Will a glass plate work the same?
It could depending on your end goal... The lovely thing about the gel plates is that they are flexible and that in itself creates a certain look when transferring the images or especially when monoprinting in general.
Wouldn't a wider brayer make a more even layer?
Yes indeed and P has quite the selection of sizes now. This was one of our first videos. You should check out a replay or join us live sometime 😊 . We stream Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday
Does the photos have to be printed with Lazer printer or can it be any printer? Thank you for sharing.
For this particular technique yes only laser prints will work
So lovely… thank you!!, :)
Many thanks!
This was so helpful, thank you so much! :))
Thank you so much!
In so glad i find u 😅🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 u are so hilarious 😆 🙏🏽
Thank you so much and welcome to our channel!
I had another question for you... can I use metallic paints for this technique? If so would the same hold true about using darker colors?
You can but it is really tricky and depending on what your subject matter is, the quality of the image and paint--well it's just easier to start with dark color and pull with a light color. It is easier to pull with the metallic rather rather than get a good transfer using it. I will be doing some of this on the live tomorrow at 10 am CST if you would like to watch.
I hope we were able to answer your question and thank you for joining us today!
Subbed. Thank you for the information
Thanks for the sub, looking forward to seeing you in the comments or catch one of our livestreams!
It was great. Thankyou.
Thank you for watching so happy you enjoyed it 💖✨
Are these photos printed with an inkjet or a laser printer?
Thank you for asking 💞 It is an HP LaserJet Pro M404... the network version meaning no wifi. We highly recommend the version with Wifi capabilities as it is much easier to setup.
Hello 👋 I hope you're safe over there? I am Marco from Key West Florida🇱🇷and you?
I hope this year brings prosperity happiness and love💞all over the world🤗🙏
Porque no puedo transferir imágenes, que estoy haciendo mal?es la copia? El papel??
El papel es uno de los factores, nuestra recomendación es utilizar un papel de copia premium como el papel de copia en color Hammermill de 32 libras. La cantidad y el tipo de pintura influyen en una impresión exitosa.
@@PMartistStudio gracias!
what printing software do you use to get dark photos
Sue it is sort of the software, meaning you want to alter the photos so you are getting good contrast. The other part is printing the image twice on the best quality setting on your laser printer. What that does is bumps up the ink on the printed photo which in turn gives the paint on the plate something to grab. Hopefully, this helps, and let us know if it did.

What type of laser printer are you using ?
It is a HP LaserJet Pro M404dw Monochrome Wireless Laser Printer with Double-Sided Printing (W1A56A)

@@PMartistStudio thank you for your reply!
I just laser printed a bunch of photos at Staples and can’t get a single one to work. :( I love how yours turned out.
Nicole keep at it have them print it twice that will help and thank you so much 😊 we appreciate you watching and commenting 💕💖
Have them run them through 2 times--it will work.
I had the same problem with staples laser prints and what worked for me was not even rubbing them just pulling them straight off
Oh that is good to know 😊 thank you for watching and commenting 💖✨
I have read a lot of comments that bracers are not all created equally good.
That is true P now has a few and loves the larger brayer.... Here is a link to all P's favorites now that she has been gel printing for over a year. pmartiststudio.com/f/gel-plate-printing-products-wish-list
using a larger brayer would help with streaks
Ohhh definitely and P now has a few sizes of brayers to tackle all sorts of plates sizes and needs. This was when she first started and had some basic supplies. Thank you so much for watching.
I thought your video was very well done and informative from a real person. For me (this is just my opinion) I would not have the friend chattering in the background. I didn't think that was helpful. But you did cover some important points. I loved that you use a wallpaper seam brayer. LOL. That was very cool.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you.☺️
You’re welcome 😊 and thank you for watching
Did you find the video you were talking about it please ? X
Let me check with P, I will post it here if she can find it 💖💕
Unless I missed your mention of it in the video, you did not specify inkjet printer or laser printer.
These are laser printed on an hp printer with Hammermill premium copy paper. Ink jet will not work for this type of transfer
Who is the lady commenting in the background? 😊
That is M (Mariah)... in other videos it is the other way around 😉💖✨

@@PMartistStudio thank you. Timing may be interesting though, I come from the land down under... Australia.
Thanks for sharing your method! I discovered your channel through Susan's.
You did a fantastic job explaining and demonstrating. I'm definitely getting some of that paint retarder 😃
x.x 🤗💕🌈🌸🦋🐛🌼
Nathalie, Welcome and so great you came from Susan's recommendation! Thank you for watching and glad you liked it. If you ever have questions just let us know here or we are on Facebook and Instagram too!
It makes a world of difference! Golden paint makes a paint called "open" which means it has more moisture and dries less quickly on the plate. I just use regular paint with the retardant added; go easy on it and add a little bit at a time because it will stay sticky longer if you add too much. Um...that was experience talking and some prints stuck together as a result.
@@PMartistStudio Thank you so much!! Sorry for the late reply... I just saw your reply 😕.
I found you on Instagram! Thanks!
Have a beautiful day!! 🤗💕
@@patriciarcarmichael1219 Thanks for the extra tips, Patricia!! I really appreciate your words of wisdom from experience 😊
@@nathaliet.3985 No worries, comments are trickier on TH-cam than messaging. We certainly struggle that way at least
Why purple instead of black?

Your grand baby deserves all that picture perfect inking too cute no wonder you so gaga over her 😂🥰 thanks for sharing I wanted to the same with my grand baby
Thank you so so much (momma of baby), P really captured some great moments both in the photos and in the transfers. Welcome to our channel, thank you for watching and we would love to see your grand baby too!!!!
areyou printing on a laser or inkjet printer?
For this technique they are laser prints. You want to make sure you have your printer set to the best quality print settings.
Well isn’t that cool! I think P did just fine doing her own video! Nice job!👍
Thank you and yes she does a great job when videos.
Thank you I've never seen anything like this!! Question: #1-What exactly is a "gel plate"? #2-What exactly do you do with these beautiful pictures? Anything you want!! No but seriously... What do YOU do with them? ❤❤🤗🤗
@@leslieweaver4111 well, I’m sure PM artist studio could tell you better than me! #1, the gel plate is literally like it says... gel. I think on you tube there are even tutorials on how to make them! They feel in hand like a stiff piece of jello.. The “gel” absorbs the ink and then depending on the layers/ textures you use will depend on the outcome of your “pull”! I would suggest if you have never done gelli printing to defiantly try it, but I must warn you, you will need lots of room for drying, and it’s very addictive! I hope you are inspired and share with the group! We are always grateful to see new aspects of art!
@@leslieweaver4111 I forgot to respond to “what do you do”...I personally make cards for people!
@@leslieweaver4111 Kristi explained it very nicely and we use them for journals, ATCs, collage. They are great backgrounds for all sorts of of pieces 💕💖
Thank you please come on camera you are so entertaining love it I hope I have more success xx
Chris thank you so much for joining us here and on the live today! We will eventually have a dual-camera setup so you can see us and what we are working on.
I thought you were going to use rice paper?
You might want to check out some of our newer videos with image transfers... Sometimes we do use rice paper for the pull. The premium copy papers get a more detailed transfer. Here is a link to one of our latest videos th-cam.com/video/-5ygJeh24TA/w-d-xo.html
@@PMartistStudio okay

Thank you so much
Just remove the “music”. Hard to focus on content
Dianna, the music was added with much thought and consideration in both style and volume. If you are using headphones this does seem to boost the volume of the music. Thanks for watching.
I love “lollygag” ! Thanks, I have looked for 2 days for a SIMPLE tutorial and this is the easiest. You are definitely an “influencer “. Lol
Glad it was helpful! You are so sweet and thank you so much 😊
