I did some eco printing on photo paper and got all sorts of different effects with the different types of photo paper. They actually stood up to the boiling process pretty good. Got some vibrant funky green colors too
I am working on a video right now for exactly that. Thanks so much for commenting and telling me what you would like to see. If really does help me to have some direction. Video will be out this next week sometime.
@@evypetre949 I went and looked at my paper supply. I found one envelope of paper. It's Kodac Premium Photo Paper Instant Dry 64 lbs 25 sheets Gloss. It says that it will work with HP, Cannon, Epson, Lexmark and Dell.
@@evypetre949 Don't leave the paper on the Geli plate for any amount of time. Make the play nice and wet and pull quickly if the paper will stick to it and it will be a mess to get off the plate. Have a good time!
Thank you for sharing this with us! I have to make my gelli plate. Everything is sitting on my table to make it. I also have photo paper. I am going to have fun! Thanks for the spark!
Elizabeth, you can thank Linda Donald for the spark. I saw her video an nearly broke my neck getting to the art room to find my lost treasures. It was only 6 sheets but it sure was fun!
Recycled Parts 4 Art I love your name!! I too love using recycled parts! Really just getting intentional about it- but storage is an issue when you live in an apartment. Any suggestions or do you have a favorite recycled part??
Judy Williamson my mom lived in a teeny tiny space. She used every nook, crack and cranny to store stuff. Under the bed in boxes that slide out easy... my tip would be to store all items in boxes that can be easily removed from crazy places. I cut down a lot of cardboard boxes to fit tight spaces. Also, I LOVE those rolling carts. Check out my channel if you feel like.... lots of recycling going on. Vicky I feel like I just hijacked your comments! 💚😘
Glad you like the Gelli papers. I consider myself still pretty new to monoprinting. I do have a good time seeing what happens though. Thanks so much for watching!
I love these! I was watching this video earlier and got interrupted by a phone call...then somehow a koolade paper dying video was on. Didn’t realize they were both yours until I clicked to check out all your videos. I love these! And your positive attitude!! Your doodling is fabulous!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Daisy. I do love it. You should try it! It's an inexpensive hobby; paper and pen is all it takes. Later you can go nuts with more expensive stuff. Start small for sure. If you don't enjoy it you haven't wasted any money. Thanks for watching!
those are so pretty Vickie - i don't have those inks yet - and i don't have any photo paper so I may not be able to "play" but thats ok - i did learn something new! thank you
Hobby Lobby used to carry them and they have discontinued them and replaced them with another brand. There was a buying frenzy a month or so ago. The regular price was $5.99 and they were marked down to $1.49. When the word spread we all went nuts. I didn't know what they were but my other artsy friends were buying them so I figured I should to. Glad I did. I looked at Amazon and they are horribly expensive on there.
there is only one Hobby Lobby here on Long Island and its about one hour away - so I did not get there - to far for me to drive and they are way to expensive on line - i will keep my eyes open at my local JoAnns though. but every time I see someone play with these I go crazy inside. but your video was fun to watch as always. hugs to Vickie and enjoy your day. we finally have some beautiful weather over here
Love your printing! Yes, yes! I’ll be doing that too. Thanks. Now I’m thinking that maybe I’ll try some other smooth papers like vellum and acetate or plastic something. I’d like to see more running, so there’s some other ideas that this brings up. I’d say, Never say never use photo paper with gel printing.
Just remember to not let the paper get too dey or it will stick to the Geli plate. It you use some other flat surface it might be different, say glass or acrylic. Some have told me that it's better to peint on the back side of the photo paper. I felt like that was a waste so I printed on the glossy side. Just keep it on the juicy side. Let me knoe how it goes.
I loved it Vickie! I love your huge Gelli Plate, too! I think the thing with the photo paper is that you are using a lot of very fluid inks and adding more ink. Using acrylic paint might just be too dry. I've had some FW inks for years for calligraphy. They are beautiful in dip pens but my hands haven't been happy with those for years. I need to play! I also really want to see you doing some doodling! I know, it is 'just' doodling, but a bit of talking as you choose what you do is always good to hear... please???
Hi Vicky, thank you so much for clearing up for me the idea that you can't use photo paper on the gelli plate!! I have watched a lot of videos that have all said don't use it, but I can see that it printed just fine. I was also interested to see that you used acrylic inks, which I have been thinking of trying for ages but hadn't got around to it. Great video and very informative. X
Nicki Rochelle The idea of printing on Gelli plates was inspired by Cat Hand who did a fantastic video about alcohol inks. I used FW Dale Roney acrylic inks. I had to cut some things out of the video because of time. I used plain water to spray the plate to freshen up ihe ink. The paper really sricks to the plate if you don't put enough paint or ink on it. I have also used a 50/50 mix of alcohol and water in a spray bottle. Do not set two wet pieces of photo paper near each other during drying. It's a diseaster and disappointment waiting to happen. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Linda Donald Abosuletly! Your video made me remember about my doodle flowers. I had such fun with my plate! Thanks for the inspiration! I love your expermenting with different paints on the Gelli plate. I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
@@michellegratwick8780 I would love to but this video is six years old. I usually use a medium or high gloss paper from Kodac. I was given a bunch of random packets of paper as a gift from my niece that someone gave her. If I remember correctly the box came in sheets of 50. I think the box was an orange color? If I can find a box I will let you know the brand. Like I said this video is six years old and I may have used all that paper.
I USED ALCOHOL INKS ON PHOTO PAPER AND IT IS STUNNING. I DONT KNOW HOW TO PUT PICS ON COMPUTER. I USE ALL THE SCRAPS FROM CUTTING MY PHOTOS OUT. SOME I MAKE FOR ATC. EASY, MESSY, BUT A PROJECT SO VERY WORTH IT. THANK YOU.
Oh Cathey I am so pleased you tried it. It is so interesting how everyone is so different. I use markers to make doodle flowers over the inked paper. I think there is a video about how to make doodle flowers that shows what and how I made them. I hope you keep trying new things! So exciting!!
When I did straight acrylics, I used water. When I used the acrylic inks I used a 50/50 mix of water and alcohol to spray on the plate to try and help it not stick so much.
@@patticarey8415 I don't know. I have never tried it. If you try it let me know. I have had no luck with Geli plate photo transfers. I did a few but they did not go well

Would love to see a video featuring any of your cutout and colored flower choices. They look marvelous...

Thanks for showing this cool experiment. I love the results. Beautiful papers for collage, cards, endless possibilities.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I have done lots with my papers. I try to use them up so I can do more!
Your doodles are awesome! I love photo paper too!
Thanks Jeri! I hope once our move is over I can get back to arting.
Oh my gosh, everyone seems to be moving! I hear you about arting, I miss it too!
Good luck on your move!

Your voice sounds kind of familiar. Very nice video and nice work! See ya Tuesday ZOOMERS!
You are so funny! You have to watch my storage video. I mentioned you.
what type of photo paper did you use?
Was it matte or glossy paper? The small pieces are so cute and would have so many uses. I have to try it. Hugs ❤️❤️❤️
I used glossy photo paper. I had a great time with them.
I'm definatlety gonna tru this thanks
Could you show the label/brand/product they came in?

Sorry, I mixed up the videos. I still have my scraps of the photo paper. I gave the flowers to a friend, but making more is so much fun!!

What would happen if you dropped some alcohol on these photo paper prints wile they are still wet? Would it make craters?
Are you talking straight alcohol? Here is a video from Cat Hand: th-cam.com/video/e1HGLaImwvY/w-d-xo.html Her video might help answer that question.
Are you using water or alcohol to dilute colors?
When I did straight acrylics, I used water. When I used the acrylic inks I used a 50/50 mix of water and alcohol to spray on the plate to try and help it not stick so much.
Can you transfer a photograph on glossy paper photo paper it would ruin the gelli plate
@@patticarey8415 I don't know. I have never tried it. If you try it let me know. I have had no luck with Geli plate photo transfers. I did a few but they did not go well
@@MessyTableStudio will do
Gruselig messy
