Making Marks on a Gel Plate

Today's gel printing session is just making marks on a gel plate. I'm using stencils I haven't used in a while with small designs so I can use them in collage as a little simple mark that will keep the eye moving. Basics shapes. Nothing earth shattering, just simple designs that you either find in nature or have been used in design for centuries.
I'm using deli paper only and capturing the first print and then the ghost on all prints. I need more transparent papers in black so that was the inspiration for this video.

Very cool Susan! You’re selling me on the deli paper!

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

I think you will love it.

[@viviandibrell849]

Love your style of presentation…..not hectic and full of crazy music and in your face and confusing. You show what you were doing and explain things in a very pleasing manner with beautiful music in the background. I love your stencils and was wondering when you are talking about using gel medium, do you mean Matt or gloss medium? That’s what I use for glueing mixed media.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thank you very much. Yes, I use gloss gel medium to glue deli papers and most of the time the transparent part of the paper disappears. It shows when pasted over dark colors like black or very dark blue. I haven't tried matt medium for this. Do a test first if you use matt.

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

Thank you!😊

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

You're welcome 😊

[@margaretsummers3712]

I got some of those stencils months ago after you mentioned them. They are great and amazing for the price! Thanks. These b/w prints are really nice; I haven't done that before. On some I like the original; some the ghost.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

I'm glad you like them. They are good for small patterns. Thanks for watching.

[@juliekbrooks]

If you went back and added gel medium on top at a later date, would the piece become translucent? I love black and white so I really enjoyed your papers.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

I will try that. I've been so busy lately I don't know what to do first. LOL

How do you store your Gelli plates?

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

I store them with copy paper on both sides and I use a paper storage thing from Ikea that has about 6 slots for paper but I use the top 3 slots for my plates.
