    I would like you to know how valuable a resource your videos are. I’ve spent my whole life being an artist. One day two years ago very suddenly with no warning signs I had a retinal detachment in my right eye. After two surgeries and a brutal recovery process, it was unsuccessful and I am blind in that eye. People tell me oh it’s ok you can still see in left eye. Yes this is true, however it has fundamentally changed what I can do and how I do it art wise. It has taken me ages to rediscover myself and my new art personality. Watching your videos has been a blessing to me. I think in this age of super fast social media … perhaps gratitude and appreciation gets lost or shoved to the periphery. You have been pivotal in changing my perspective on my capabilities. I am eternally grateful. Thank you!❤

      Thank you, Nessa. That is so sweet. I can't image what you have gone through. I was experiencing wet macular degeneration and they told me if I had waited to see them I would have lost the sight in my right eye. I was very fortunate. I still live with macular and hopefully it will not progress fast. How did you adjust? Are you doing the same type of artwork? I'm sure your work will thrive and you will find a new voice within yourself.

      @@SusanCliftonArtist I used to do extremely precise textile arts, where being off a sixteenth of an inch wouldn’t be good. That’s is no longer something I can achieve. I want to switch to graphic arts, mono printing, also I have been making my own art supplies with materials foraged in nature… making paints and paper. I have a long way to go. Mostly it helps to not feel hopeless and discouraged and just keep trying. I see you understand the macular part of eye sight, this was the area destroyed by my detachment.

      Nessa. I read about your experience. I don’t know you, but you are a terrific example of recovery. I understand you can’t do the original artwork and you started a new one. Just know that all your knowledge you’ve gained in the past will always be with you. Like a memory of a loved one. It took me many, many years of just any kind of art, but my real love has been collage. Until recently I’ve not had a clue about all the parts that make it wonderful. I’m 71, doing art since I was 3, but just really being able to put it all together. I wish I was younger when I put it all together, but all my past starts and stops are with me, (until my memory goes 😊) lol. All the best to you! And… Susan is the best I’ve found, and I’m so happy I found her. Take good care ☮️

      Hello Nessa! I am so very glad you shared your story & how you overcame a devastating situation that could have been an even worse loss. You are an amazing & courageous woman in my eyes!! And
      I am absolutely sure you’re an inspiration to all you meet!! I know that because you’re certainly an inspiration to me! Since I have never done gel art & didn’t even know what it was, I was looking for a beginner video. And with tons to chose from, I chose this one & am so very glad I did!! I am sure God led me to this video, because I have disabilities to overcome as well. The video was very helpful and just what I was looking for. And Girlfriend, it took a lot of courage to share what happened to your eye!! Not only to share your story Nessa, it took a lot of COURAGE, STRENGTH, RESOLVE, & FAITH to overcome such a loss!! Many people would have just given up and fallen into a state of despair. Thank you so much Nessa for sharing your story!! The video was great and learned a lot, but you inspired and touched my heart. I think that’s the best part of it all! God bless you Nessa, those around you are very blessed to have you in their lives.❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

    This video was great for a newbie , only did my first prints yesterday and already hooked. I have been watching many videos, but I have to say your calm , non- theatrical voice is what made me watch to the end . It's such a shame when knowledgeable people are just so flamboyant you can't stand listening to them. Anyway 🙏🌈 Bless, and keep the videos coming.

However, your demo and explanation made it so much clearer. I understand why certain things are done. Thanks, so much for showing the names of the pickup paints you used. I’m very grateful for your sharing this video. You’ve made me want to try more techniques. 👏🏾💜

    Susan, thank you so very much for this tutorial!I have been Gelli printing for a few months, but your video still gave great tips! The chapters were a helpful idea!! At this time I have quite a few prints, but would love a similar, step by step instruction on collaging with them, on paper, canvas and board! Also, I could use instruction on types of collage mediums, I.e. thick body vs. liquid, and how long and when to let the mediums dry. Please, please, please! I really struggled yesterday. Love your work! 🙏🏻

    • @SusanCliftonArtist
      @SusanCliftonArtist  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thanks for tip. I will try on my next collage video to include some tips on adhering the papers during collage. I use mostly Liquitex gel gloss medium. It dries pretty fast. I put it on the surface then add the paper then put more on top. I do not put the medium on the paper. I especially like rice paper for collage. The results are just beautiful. Best of luck.

    Hi Susan, messaging you from country Victoria in Australia, where we are going into winter. Can't thank you enough for your very excellent beginner's video on gelli plate printing. I especially loved the registration segment with the "ghost" print (like you I favour the non-ghost) exercise. The single pull with multiple layers was also very educational. I belong to a wonderful group of textile artists and was introduced to gelli plate printing through them - they are soooo addictive. I now have my own plate and, with the calm, wonderful approach that you have taken, I am looking forward to creating some lovely images. Currently we are working on exhibition pieces with the theme being "Industrial" and for this I will be printing hills on fabric, pastures and wind farms on fabric and then stitching felted clouds and maybe animals onto my fabric. Your video has helped me enormously so thanks again. Warm regards Alain Louise Howard

    I'm sorry to hear about your breathing difficulties Susan, and i hope youve had some relief. I too, suffer at times with my breathing, when i have a "flare up"with copd, so i can sympathise with you.

    Thank you Susan I am so glad I found your video amongst tons of videos and so blessed I chose yours! I have several disabilities; fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, a spine so messed up one surgeon, asked me if I ever played professional football because the injuries to my spine are what he sees in pro football players. Note 🤣🤣I’ve never played pro football. I used to do lots of crafts years ago and I’m starting up again. My background is musical theater, I am a classically trained lyric coloratura, but with my disabilities, I can no longer perform and hardly able to sing at all. That has been very devastating to me because that’s all I ever wanted to do with my life. I will be 68 years old this February coming. I’m not able to work b/c of this and I also needed to find an outlet a creative outlet so I started building up a craft studio. So I’ve been building up my studio with all the supplies I need to start again. I had never done gel painting and I didn’t even know what it was to tell the truth. I decided to find a video to explain it all to me, and I am so glad I found yours! I can’t wait to get a gel plate and start having fun with it. Your way of teaching, your calm voice, your explanation on each step and the way you are so real instead of some others I’ve seen. I learned a lot just from this one video. Thank you so very much Susan! I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more of your tutorials! God bless you, Susan, for all you have shared and thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I made sure the pan I used had a flat bottom and I cured it at room temperature...no refrigerator. The ingredients together were rather pricey, but I compared the large one I made with the commercial one, and I came out ahead.
      The one I made years ago lasted a long time. In fact, lasted until I finally had to get rid of it to use the extremely large pan. The one I made now is 11 x 14". I've made a large one because I want to make whole composition prints. Baby steps, I keep reminding myself.

    @30:14 I love that map-like look. I laughed when she made a boo-boo and said her table wasn't big enough. My open dining room gets great natural light all day, so I have temporarily converted it into my studio. (You can do stuff like that when you live by yourself.) So my quite large old French farmhouse table for eight is my work table. I do have to negotiate with my cat, PeterPaws, because he eats on the table. (My senior mini schnauzer would devour his food otherwise). But, I digress because my point is that - for me - the bigger the table, the bigger the mess.

    • @SusanCliftonArtist

      Yep. I see people all the time in videos storing them between the plastic they come with. That's not a good idea.

    I have just found this art form, and have been watching lots of vids. I shd say out front that i am no artist but always wished i was. I was, in my working life, an upholsterer and that satisfied my creative urges... for then. For now, crafting has attracted me tho i have created nothing i am very happy with. Dont know why i shd tell you all that except to let you know that i actually think i MAY be able to do this, thanks to your excellent video. I was getting very confused until i watched this. So thanks. Oh, and what exactly are the challenges for using craft paint (what i have)? I suppose i will find out, whether you can answer or not.

    • @SusanCliftonArtist
      @SusanCliftonArtist  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I find that the craft paints are low in pigment and they don't brayer on smoothly. Some colors that are more opaque seems to work ok. CraftSmart has a pretty light blue color that I sometimes use. It has a lot of white mixed in to create a light color. So I find it works.

    Thank you Susan. I’m playing with my Gel plate tonight for the first time and yes I was using too much paint. I’ve gotten some lovely things but some not at all. There is much to learn and it’s great fun. Your video was a tremendous help and I look forward to making some of my own stamps and stencils one day soon. ❤

      Go slow. Try simple prints to start and then when you get the hang of it move on to more complex prints. That's what I did.
