Did anyone LOVE and play with Colorforms when you were a child?! Well I did! And then I started making my own. Now, every little girl must grow up right (really?!) but this girl still plays with paper dolls. One one my favorite things to do, accept I make my own and my own hand made pattern painted paper too. This weekend I played and played. She is an angel who is bringing us all a bit of much needed peace. I created her from within my thoughts and she quickly came to life on my painted paper. I created a template that will be for sale for downloading on my website, so other folks who love paper piecing can purchase and download my pattern and make their own too.

Wowsa! Love your work! First time seeing it, I am blown away! Thanks so much for sharing! It is stunning! Thanks for sharing it!
Max Miggly thank you so much for your comment. You're very kind and have inspired me to make more of them for You Tube. Thank you so much!
I never considered doing gel prints with a specific theme in mind! Thanks for the very detailed information, and for sharing your artwork.
I try to always have a stack of specific colors for skin colors and then several prints all with similar colors used like blues, purples etc. Just like I would want tubes of paint in a variety of colors, I want the prints to be able to work together to have nice contract. Sometimes when I have an idea of theme in my head, I try and think about what colors I may like to use and just do a bunch of prints in those particular colors. I always can use them in cards and other projects and well as you know it's so much fun to play.
If a stencil or anything leaves a mark or dent in the gelli plate you can flip it/store it on the damaged side (the flat packaging will work) and in time it will smooth back out.
Wow that's great to know and actually makes a lot of sense. I had no idea. Thank you so much for leaving your comment. I appreciate it very much.
Great job. I really enjoy paper piecing but I can't draw anything.
Hi Lori,
You can trace things from magazines or even print things out from online, or trace adult coloring books. They work great too.
Hope you make something special! Have fun!
Barbara
Beautiful and very inspiring. Thank you for sharing
Thank you kindly, Sue. I appreciate your comment so much! Be well.
Fondly, Barbara
This is amazing. Can you tell me the purpose of using the gelli plate instead of doing the stenciling right on the paper?
For me I like a lot of layering which is why I start with the Gelli plate. Not all parts of my work have paper where I used stencils on top of. If I noticed a part of the paper where I used the Gelli plate on that seemed a little dull or boring or muddy colored, I save it by adding ink or a stencil on top of it. I do like the randomness of the Gelli plate and I love having many different patterns layered on top of each other. That's why I do it this way. Hope that makes some sense.
She's beautiful!! Thank you for sharing!!

wow such detail for a gelli print, very informative and inspirational.☺
What a beautiful paper painting! I am glad I am not the only one who loves this style of art 😊 Tfs
Thank you Shel C! I LOVE your art!!! I think there are so many other people out there that truly love this style too. It's super fun and so relaxing! A good addiction if we had to have one. LOL
Absolutely fantastic! TFS for sure :~) can’t wait to go watch more video’s and play tomorrow. Thank You. I’m just so awed...love it, again Thank You.
Thank you so much Brandy Bobo! It means so much to me that you took a moment to comment. Thank you! You inspire me to video tape more of my artistic adventures and share them. Thank you so much! Barbara
Wow! This angel is absolutely gorgeous! You're approach was very inspirational. I might try it and see what I come up with. Any alcohol markers you recommend?
I'm new to this - what kind of paper are you using?
Edna Stadler the paper shown in the video is canson mixed media paper.
How lovely. I too loved playing with paper dolls when I was a young girl. I got bored with the ready-made and starting designing my own clothes. This looks like great fun. Going to give it a try.
Rose Mulbery thank you!!! It's super fun and I promise you, it will bring you right back to when you were 5 years old. Enjoy the process!! Thanks for your comment. It means so much to me! Have a great day!
This is really great, I love to make my own embellishments, also. I enjoyed this video, great job. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
Thank you Linda! I love to scrapbook too and make my own embellishments. It's nice to be able to use techniques across the board in all art and craft products. I loved sharing this one with everyone. I hope it's inspired many people to create their own treasures. Thanks for your comment. I really appreciate your feedback.

un trabajo maravilloso gracias por ese angelito amen namaste saludos cordiales
There are many aspects of this that I thank you for. Thank you for sharing this technique and method. Thank you for a beautiful experience to watch. (By my choice I do not watch T.V..) Thank you for sharing the workings of your soul while developing the video. This is really a good experience to watch and hear.
TH-cam User thank you so much for watching my video and taking time to contact me. Your comment was so beautiful and means so much to me. I always wonder who is watching my videos and if I should continue sharing what I love to do. My videos take a long time to piece together. To know that people truly are finding joy in them and inspiration makes me so happy. Thank you kindly for your comment. I have no words to truly express how much your kindness means to me. Thank you!
Barbara Beckmann Art 💕
Beautiful. Such detail. Fun way to use all my gel prints. Thanks!
Thank you so much Cathy! Yes it's a great way to use leftover paint. You can thin old paint down with some water too. Use what you have. and you can go buy new stuff.
I was mesmerized with your creativity and creation. She’s beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing! You are very inspiring. You made me remember I used to play with and make and color paper dolls!
Can you believe I just saw your message a year after you posted it!! It made my day!!! A year late to reply and thank you for your kind words. I hope by now you’ve made many beautiful things.
🥰 Barbara
This is beautiful.You are inspiring and gifted.Thank you for sharing what you do.
Love this. Beautiful. You bring back childhood memories.
I was wonder what type of paper pad you did your collage on? Also, is there a problem with warping. How can I prevent that. I am new at Geli printing and I am addicted to it. Love how you showed this collage technique. Thanks!
Hi Frances! I used a Canson Mixed media pad. Its not warping, at all probably because I have heavy books on top of it. If it did warp it's an easy fix. I should probably show the procedure in a video. I basically would spry the back with water until it was pretty wet. Then place it in between two large foam boards (which becomes like a press) that I use to flatten my watercolor sheets. I clamp the sides together and leave it in the press until its completely dry. It could take up to a few days. Then its perfectly flat all the time. I love gelli printing too. It is a great addiction! Thanks for your comment. I am happy you reached out to me. Happy printing!! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Have a great day! Barbara
Thank you so much for the good tips! :)
So many great idea's for using the Gelli Plate. Thanks for the video.
Awww thanks so much Carol !
It’s so nice to hear that! I appreciate your comment.
can you use wax deli paper because thats all I could find.Thank you love this channel
Sylvia Costello the deli paper I use has wax on it, just not a lot of it. I get mine at Costco. You can also get it on amazon.
I’m sure your wax paper will work fine. Try it and see. That’s how happy accidents discovered. Good luck! And come back and let us know if it worked or now. Have fun!!
thank you so much the minute I get up the morning I will try the wax deli and let you know how I get on
gives me a whole new prespective on my gelli plate and how to use it....Thanks!!!
Hi Susan! Thanks for your comment!! I've been working on commissions for Christmas delivery and the entire time I was painting I was dreaming about the day I can play again. I've just cleaned my entire art room, which gets trashed from Nov-Dec every year. I will be playing again with my gelli plate in a few days. I can't wait!!! I hope to film some more too. Hope you subscribed to my channel so you can see what I come up with next. If you're on Instagram, tag me in your art creations. I love to see what people come up with too. Thanks again for watching!! Barbara
I'll be watching to see what you come up with next.....you've had two months of wanting to Play......Enjoy!!
How would I get your angel design. Love it!
Thank you! I loved making her!
The pattern is in my ETSY store. Here is the link.

If you have any questions, please let me know. BarbaraBeckmannArt@gmail.com
Thank you for this Barbara! I can't wait to try this. I LOVE your work!!
This was a very interesting video to watch. I guess it was something I have always wanted to create but have a bit of trouble loosening up... not having things perfect etc. but strange as it may seem the composition of the piece is well balanced and easy on the eyes. Our eyes are always “balancing” things out regarding color, styles, layout, and proportions etc. I’m not an artist but I do recognize beautiful pieces and this is one of them.
Dottie, Thank you so much for your comment. Your comment truly touched a part of me that needed to hear that today. It's a busy time of year for me. I paint commissioned paintings for a living and holiday seasons are always stressful. My gelli plate creations are made from my personal play time. I miss having time to play these days. I needed some inspiration and you came along today and made me feel like my videos are worth making. They are time consuming and I do them for fun. You may never know how much I needed a wonderful inspirational comment today. I can't thank you enough for your kindness. I hope you get to play with your gelli plate and have as much fun as I do. Enjoy the process. Thanks again! Have a wonderful day! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Loved your video :-) I have a commercially made one but FYI, I did make my own Gelli plate and it came out fine, it was a hoot!
Hi Melanie! I'd love to make my own Gelli Plate too! It looks super fun. Maybe I will give it a try.
I am impressed...beautiful
Thanks so much Sarah!! So sweet of you to say.
Thank you for sharing this is realy great!
Thank you!! I’m so happy you enjoyed it. 😊
What kind of paper are you using?
Robin, I use mixed media paper. It hold a lot of weight. Glue and paper can add on some heavy weight. I find mixed media paper works great. It hold a lot of water and medium, plus paper and glue. I think the pad I used was by Canson. 😊 fondly, Barbara
Beautiful beyond words! So lovely. Thanks for sharing -
Oh wow thank you so much!!! I hope to get more video footage taped and up on my channel next week.
Thank you for a great idea on using Gel prints. My brain got so full watching your video. Thank you so much
LOL There was a lot to take in from that busy video. I hope it inspired you do create whatever is inside of you wanting and needing to come out. Enjoy the process and HAVE FUN! Thanks for your message. I appreciate your comment so much! Thank you! Barbara
Bravo...I grew up making paper dolls and enjoy seeing your process. mraz
Thanks so much Arlene! Paper dolls were so much fun when I was little.
Absolutely gorgeous. You’re super talented. Would you consider not playing music?
Loved the video 😀 great colors 🎨🎨🎨
Really beautiful, Barbara - thank you so much.
Thank you Susan. I’m so happy you enjoyed my video.
This is one of my favourite demos . I got so many ideas from you. Thank you 🤔👍✂️✏️🎨🖍🇨🇦
Heather, your comment is one of my favorite comments!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Barbara 😊
TFS❤I enjoyed everything but the carnival music.
Oh my golly this is so inspiring!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!! I'll be trying this when I get my plate!!!!
My very favorite comments are when people say they have been inspired! Then I get inspired too! Thank you for commenting on my video. I really appreciate it so much! Thank you Cheryl!!
This is amazing! Never heard of gelli print art until yesterday and now I'm going to try it. I found a cheap pack of mixed-media paper at Hobby Lobby that I've painted on with acrylics, so it should hold up pretty well for gelli prints. But I think I'll scan my prints and collage them digitally in Photoshop. Has anyone tried this?
Traci,
WOW! Thank you!!!! You can scan them for Photoshop. It's been done before. The ideas are truly endless. I'm so happy you sound like you're going to make some wonderful art. I'm so happy for you!! It feels great to create and share. Thanks for your comment. I appreciated it so much! Happy printing!! Barbara
I love your tutorial..please tell me, what kind of paper do you use to make your gelli prints? Thanks…Bon
This is wonderful and a great video. What kind of paper do you use or does it matter?
Thank you!! I believe the paper was card stock from Target. Just regular white card stock. Any brand would do. 😊 thanks again! Stay safe and stay well. Barbara
Barbara Beckmann Art thank you.
Oh My Gosh! You are SO freaking creative! I LOVE it!
I want a jelly plate.. Can you do me a favor please!! I can't find them around here were I live would you send me a jelly plate please please please please 🙏
Love your work and your ideas. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Beautiful and your prints are fabulous! I wouldn't wan to ever cut them up! :-)
I absolutely love this Barbara, I love your channel, It's me the one with all the strokes , I will be e-mailing you some pictures soon hopefully, you really brighten my day
A Irizarry you have brightened my day as well!!!! I look forward to seeing your photos!
Love your work !!! Thanks for sharing it!!!
Thank you Yiara! I appreciate your comment so much!
Very creative way to actually USE "painty papers" that don't involve just having them as a background for other things. You have given me some ideas with this. Def adding this to my playlist of videos that inspire me - I'll add this to my "to do" list as well to try something using this same technique. Thanks for sharing this - your final pic turned out lovely.
Thanks for your comment. I’m so happy my video has inspired you to use painty papers in many other ways. Have fun creating! Thanks again for your comment. I appreciate it.
Where do you get your stencils?
Parsell Art I get all my stencils in the clearance section of craft store, like Michael’s and AC Moore. Also also make my own. I am always looking for things that aren’t traditional stencils but I could maybe use as one. I never buy art supplies unless they are on sale (or try not to). I don’t mind if they are last years designs. I buy them anywhere they sell them locally. I have also purchased some from stencil girl online but they are pricy, so I don’t buy them very often.
❤ this so much! I am not an art journaler or collage but this makes me want to!!
I’m intrigued! I have been looking for suitable stencils for awhile and I just can’t find anything that digs me. I was admiring the ones you have here. Do you have a suggestion as to where I might look? And another thing, I love the music that accompanies your video. Is that some sort of stock music or is it a particular musician? Thanks for sharing your gifts!
PEGGY O'TOOLE when I first started doing these paper doll style art, I could not even afford materials and there were certainly no patterns like these to buy on the market. I used magazines! I traced out the models in Glamor and other fashion magazines. I made my own!! That's exactly what I would suggest to you. Make them! I couldn't afford plastic stencils to make them either, so I use Manila folders from the dollar store. They come 10pk for $1
There is AlWAYS a way!! Think outside the box but overall enjoy the process. That's the best part!! And then you will treasure your creation! Tag me if you post picture is what you come up with. I would love to see your work.
Barbara
PEGGY O'TOOLE hi! The stencils in my video I primarily purchased Michaels and some at AC Moore. I usually glance at the clearance section and find them in there. These are pretty old but I have seen some in the store still.
PEGGY O'TOOLE oh the music, I believe it was a stock affected by TH-cam.
So glad i found you, Barbara! This is just what I wanted to start doing with my gelli prints. Thanks for the technique and inspiration!
I'm so happy to get your message. Thank you!! I love when something I have a passion for inspires or encourages someone to create. That is so great!!! It's good mediation and escape from life for a bit. We are always rushing these days, addicted to cell phones, and just the busyness life brings to all of us. If we can find something that makes us stop and enjoy time creating something within, then that's all so good. Happy creating!!!! I hope you relax and truly enjoy the process. HAVE FUN! Barbara

I love this technique using the Gelli papers.The angel is stunning.Having fun and playing we all need more of that.
I agree we totally need to play and have more fun! I'm so happy you found me!
I love this idea! Very nice combination of colors.
I love it!
This is absolutely stunning! I have to try this. Thx very much.
Definitely going to try your brayer method I've had trouble with the credit card and glue. I think in a little too heavy handed lol
thank you so very much for sharing so generously! Your work is beautiful!!!
Thank you Brigitta! I am so happy you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it so much!
Enjoy creating!
Thank you Brigitta! I appreciate your comment so much. Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed the video.
Happy creating!
Truly amazing and inspiring! Thank you for posting.
annaleda2 thank you so much! It makes me happy when I know I have inspired someone. This method is super fun and the ideas are endless. I hope you try it and create something wonderful to treasure.
Gorgeous and vibrant! Love it! TFS!
Gail Tuthill thank you so much!! I appreciate your comment. Thank you!
apparently she is your guardian angel
Ooohh I would love that very much! I hope you're a right. 😄
This is fantastic. I hope you create more templates because I love this.
Bernice, thank you so much! I love hearing that my templates are enjoyed by others. I love making all kinds of art and gelli printing, paper piecing has always been at the top of my list. I enjoy creating and making them so much. Thank you for your comment. It meant so much to me. Yes, look out for more videos and templates. I plan on having more available in Jan 2018. Commission paintings and holiday orders have occupied my time 24/7 from Nov-Dec. I'm so looking forward to posting more patterns now that the holiday craziness is over. Thanks again! Barbara
Just saw your work for the first time and it is just wonderful, color pattern and texture mix so well.
hudsonsailor54 thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoyed it. You made my day! Thank you! I see your name has "Hudson" in it. As in Hudson River by any chance? I grew up in a Hudson River town on the water and I actually spent all day yesterday fishing for stripe bass. When the forsythia start to bloom, it means the striper are running up the Hudson.
Hi, I live near Kingston on a creek that flows into the river. I love to walk along, sail and swim in the river a beautiful space that I hope stays clean for generations to come.
Very inspiring! I am new in gelli printing . It gives tons of ideas. Can you tell me again the mugde youvise to seale it?
I am looking forward seeing more of your technics. Thank you
I’m so happy you left a comment. Thank you! I use liquitex matte medium for the “modge podge”
You can use watered down white glue like aileens, or even elmers. The liquitex is my favorite tho. Have fun!!!
This is the first video of yours that I have watched and it was great! I've never played around with paper dolls in my art journal, but I am inspired to try it now :) Thanks for sharing your beautiful creation!
Faith Shaffer thank you!! You totally made my day today! Yes, add the unexpected into your journals. The ideas are endless! Have fun! Tag me on Instagram, if you like to share your work. I’d love to see what you come up with! Thanks again! Have a great day!
Barbara
I LOVED colorforms!!!!!!!!! One of my favorite toys. How do you attach the pieces? Tacky glue for all of it? Thanks for the video.
Thank you Mary!! You can use tacky glue, even elmers. I water it down slightly. Any white glue will honestly do.
Your combination of many mediums is mind blowing! Thank You so much for this x OMG 2017? Where have you been? Where'v'I been? LOL
Ha ha ha!!! Where have I been! I have been so busy with other art adventures. I miss making these collages. I must return! I will do another one and post it. I LOVE using whatever I have on hand to use. Especially if two mediums are NOT suppose to work together...I’m a risk taker! LOL I hope your try it! So much fun! Thanks for your comment! You made my day!
Hi Barb, I really love it, I had a reaction I didn't expect watching her come to life like she did. Your amazing. God bless you and thanks so much.
Hi Lisa! I know exactly what you mean. When she started to emerge on the paper, I was filled with such peace. I felt she somehow was suppose to be created and be here. I felt like my hands were used as an instrument or took to get here where she needed to be. Everyone loves her and I receive so many comments that are faithful and incredibly spiritual. She has truly touched a part of our hearts and I’m positive I couldn’t have done that on my own. I hope she inspired you, as she inspired me. Thanks for your wonderful comment. I truly understand exactly what you meant. Thank you kindly!! You made me smile today!
Fondly, Barbara
Lovely work, speaks volumes.
beautiful done. tfs
An absolutely mesmerising piece from start to finish; I was completely in the moment with you throughout! Having just recently bought a gelli, and paints, I have yet to start - but up until now I just thought of perhaps creating cards, wrapping paper or covering books with some of the results - however you've taken it to a whole new level; a much higher art form. Thank you for such inspiring work!
Christine Arnold-Green thank you for your amazing comment! You made my night!!! I hope you find joy playing with your plate as I do. It’s so much fun. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Enjoy!! And thank you so much for your comment.
Sie redet ohne Punkt und Komma....etwas anstrengend...ansonsten gute idee die gelli plate einzusetzen...deutsche Untertitel wären gut
Very spectacular i just love it!!
Yvi Winchester wow!! Thank you so much!! I appreciate your comment very much!

You have given me so many ideas, thank you.
I love this technique! I sat for months at a transplant house with hubby, and couldn't do much more than make Gelli prints, so now, with a billion pages, you've given me some great inspiration to use them!!
Fun to watch. Lots of good techniques
Beautiful!!!
Lovely art thanks for sharing
Amazing technique. tnx
Yay! I really like your angel ideas and sharing this project as it developed through your thinking as you went along. I was just thinking how much I liked that peach color when you began to cut circles and add more peach! She's in her Happy Place! It's totally her space where she is safe, happy and comforable in all ways. Really like your many ideas shared with your viewers. I love how your mind works and uour piece turned out just beautifully! Thank you for making my evening so enjoyable! Also wanted to say your angel and the piece as a whlole are very powerful. Your ideas and how you wanted the piece to turn out are successful - coming through loud and clear!
