Absolutely gorgeous results. Excellent instructions. Thanks for not playing music while you are teaching. I don’t know why people think we need to have music background while trying to hear/process directions. Love love your stencils and color choices. YOU rock!!!
Barbara, I absolutely agree about your views on background music. I mute most videos with just music playing but when there are verbal instructions I can't, and will often just leave the video!
I really really enjoy these and your stencils look wonderful...everything is on my art lottery win bucket list.....very informative and intering video i learn alot about the golden paint in this video..thank you so much...mikelle art mom👩🎨🎨✍🎃
Oh my gosh! I've asked a few people why my new gel plate caused bubbles and wouldnt roll smooth. I should have asked you, of course! Thank you so much! Now i know its normal! Truly awesome prints. I could watch you create your papers all day long!
Oh gosh, I always layer, layer, layer, layer, that’s how you create the most beautiful collage paper. Color choices, I have a degree in art… But really it’s about practice!
I'm about to go on vacation where there is nothing to do. I think I'll just take my gelli press and make paper and work on collage. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Thanks! I just got my 12x14 gelli plate so it’s fun to see what you can do! I have a roll of medical exam paper. I just need to find the time. Thanks for all your instruction and enthusiasm!🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🌺🌹🌷Anita Wray White
Fun, fun, FUN! I happen to have all of those, including the large gel plate, your stencils, and those Golden colours (yes, I’m a craft supply hoarder, lol...and proud of it). Hope you’re having a great weekend Elizabeth. 😘 xox 🥰
@@ElizabethStHilaire I was just playfully poking at myself ;-) . As a fellow instructor as well as student, having an abundance of supplies and tools is a must. My collection spans decades and just about everything comes back around sooner or later. :-)
Karen, you are super kind! I appreciate your taking the time to comment. this seems to be my MOST popular video and for the life of me I cannot figure out why it does so much better than many of my other videos. LOL I guess you just never know.
Brilliant idea!! Thank you for showing us how you layer & layer using your fabulous stencils!! As I have said before, you are one multi talented artist who is very generous w/your videos!! Thank you so much!!💗
I love your stencils and masks as well as your technique with the rice paper roll. I have a roll and think I will try this out. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Elizabeth.
Gorgeous stencils and prints! Love the idea of using the roll of the rice paper! I've always cut mine into manageable pieces, but there is such an advantage to leaving it on the roll. TFS the inspiration!
I have watched a couple of your videos a few times and today I jumped in with orders to Joggles and Amazon. I've had my gelli mats for a year but haven't wanted or really understood the pulling and layering techniques but you are a FABULOUS TEACHER. I understand so .ugh more that I might try when I get my orders. Thank you 😊 💓 ☺
Really beautiful work. I purchased a couple of your stencils, and see I need to get a few more. Love the printing on the roll technique. I've got a 12" x 12" press and am having the best time with it.
I get lots of inspiration from your videos, thank you! Why do you advise to get rid of the mylar sheets? I always put them back on my plate before putting back in the box…
They are part of the manufacturing process and if you read the insert in your gel plate they advise you to remove them and discard them, not to store them with the plate.
I'm learning a lot watching these videos but I would love to see how these layered prints are used to complete a project. I am having trouble getting decent results with a gelli plate and even with having two books as guides I still can't seem to produce a professional result. Perhaps watching an entire step by step video that shows a project from start to finish could help take the mystery out of the techniques and materials needed to end up with a successful piece of artwork using gelli plate.
Very interesting and creative use of your stencils and gelli plate. I made the mistake of replacing the Mylar on my plate and have some bubble marks on my plate. Can you recommend any way to restore the plate? I’m definitely going to buy some of your stencils. They’re fabulous.
Hi Kim, Gel Press suggests you put the plate back in the clam shell, without the Mylar, and store it on the shelf like a book. Nothing stacked on top of it.
Hi I went to your site and picked out several stencils but some yu show here are not there. How do I get the rocks and rolls and loopy to loop and the (rectangular) one, please. Love your Art.
Thanks for letting us know abour the mylar! Question...both my plates have circular indents in the gell. They came that way. I'm using them anyway but was wondering why they are there?
If anything presses on the plate long term it can indent it permanently. If they came that way, I would’ve returned it. They will affect every print you make and there’s no way to get them out
I just bought a gel pad and after your video I wonder if I should also clean it after working with it. And if so how do I do that? greetings from the Netherlands. ✂️🖌️✏️🎨✒️🍀
Hello Baukje! I clean mine with clear packaging tape. I only clean it when I put it away, when I’m working with it I just allow the paint from each print to affect the next. Here’s my video:. th-cam.com/video/4eKf5TErWME/w-d-xo.html

So, you are saying the you don't put that 2 sheets of the top and bottom sheet back on the Gel Plate? BC everyone else says that you do. I got my Gel Plate, but I haven't used it yet. I love your Gel Plates. Thanks and God Bless.
Gel Plate themselves tell you not too. Not sure who "everyone else" is but that's the word from Gel Press. I was a creative team artist for them and trained by them with regards to storage and use of the plate.
I have been all day looking at geil plates, how to make your own to buying one, l am so very happy that l found your channel, I was going to order 5 by 10, or should I go bigger? And thank you for explaining about the paint because everyone else don't and most of them use cheap paint 😊, Were do you buy your rice paper? Do you clean your plate at the end of the day? Thank you for sharing your gifts
@@ElizabethStHilaire Thank you so much and Happy Holidays to you, l really would like to buy the big one( geil plate ) but l make journal books 5by7, this is really crazy but l loved your stencil that l just brought 6 last night 😅😅, so l was like you got those big stencils with a small plate 🙃😅😅, Happy New Year l am a crazy lady
Hi! They are on order and should be available soon. Remember that you can always click the “notify me” button to receive an email when they’re back in stock!
@@ElizabethStHilaire I did and thank you! I just watched your Low Relief video. It remined me when I was younger at the Italian Cemetery doing rubbing relifs of my ancestors head stones. Lol! You make me laugh qbd inspired! Thank you! I still am not able to find the stencil that looks like Daisy petals.. On you we site papers page. 💖💞🦋🤠
I don’t think you can make issue paint more translucent due to the nature of the pigment. You can try applying it thinly or adding water. It depends on the quality of paint you are using. Golden, high quality paint, will dilute pretty nicely but opaque pigments will never be one totally translucent.
Elizabeth - I have just bought a roll of Shoji Gami rice paper. I have noticed that one side is smooth, the other side rough. Which side do you print on, please?
Ein tolles Video und ganz viel neue Inspiration ❤❤ Kann man die Schablonen auch aus Deutschland bestellen? Oder wo bekomme ich diese hier in Deutschland? LG Christina ☘️ ☘️

Thanks so much Barbara! I appreciate it
Barbara, I absolutely agree about your views on background music. I mute most videos with just music playing but when there are verbal instructions I can't, and will often just leave the video!
Agree I don't like irritating music, loud screechy voices and not getting into the topic stated quickly. Great content and value Elizabeth cheers.😊
So enjoy learning from you. I get so excited with colors and all they bring to this place we call the universe. 💚🌏💙
Thank you kindly Kathy
The finished piece is too nice to use for collage paper. That would make a beautiful big horizontal sofa size print.
Thanks for sharing 👍😊
That’s always an option! Thanks for watching Rolf!
I have so many of your big stencils. Love love love
thank you so much for the support Sally
Thank you Elizabeth, I painted along with you tonight, made some beautiful prints and had the best night I’ve had in a while! ❤
I LOVE to hear that!!! Creativity is such good therapy. ❤
Just when I think I've got the hang of what you do you come up with something new and I love it God bless you and how a good night
Oh thanks so much!!
Like a great athlete or dancer, you make it look so easy! I love your videos! Thanks.
What a great analogy! I have a Dancing Daughter And she does just that! Thanks
You made this so fun... cleaner to watch you make the mess
LOL I love a good mess! thanks so much
I love that you always have paint on your hands, it’s encouraging that you are as messy as me. I love your glasses!, and all your work…
If I have to wear glasses, I might as well have fun right? And yes! I’m a total mess. Always
This was so fun. I’m new to gelli art, and it got my brain to swirling ideas. Thanks.
Inspiration is an amazing gift! My pleasure Johnnie
Beautiful work demonstrated so well. You're a wonderful teacher, Elizabeth!
Oh thank you so so much!
You are simply the best teacher!
Thank you so very much
Bonsoir ! Even if I dont anderstand all, I like your vidéos, thanks and kisses from France !

I did pause the video to order some stencils and will probably come back again to order more after they come. TFS!
Thanks! You’ll love Joggles, they are great customer service.
Oh my gosh! I've asked a few people why my new gel plate caused bubbles and wouldnt roll smooth. I should have asked you, of course! Thank you so much! Now i know its normal! Truly awesome prints. I could watch you create your papers all day long!
It is! And it will go away. :)
I think the ‘bloom’ effect is interesting and unique, a fleeting bonus from a new gelli plate.
@@allthumbs3792 exactly!
I get so excited. Thank you😊
Me too!! My pleasure
This process will make fabulous wrapping papers - need to get a large gelli print. Thanks
it does make fabulous wrapping paper and the BIG plate makes easy work of it! Thanks for watching Anna
You really opened my eyes to the beauty of layering stencils! And your colour choices! They sing❤️
Oh gosh, I always layer, layer, layer, layer, that’s how you create the most beautiful collage paper. Color choices, I have a degree in art… But really it’s about practice!
Thank you. You are a wonderful teacher.
I teach art and I have learned more from you in 2 videos that I have learned in years. Thank you so much.....
OH my goodness Linda! Thank you and I am so happy to hear that. :) I love it.
Love the textured look the wrinkles give. Makes me want to wrinkle it on purpose!
LOL! Awesome. Creativity comes in many forms
I'm about to go on vacation where there is nothing to do. I think I'll just take my gelli press and make paper and work on collage. Thanks for the inspiration!!
That sounds like a great vacation to me!! Enjoy!

Thank you for the tips and tricks. Great video and excellent idea to print on a roll.
It’s a great way to work! Thanks so much for being here
Mylar is great for making stencils out of, either by die cutting or hand cutting.
I have my own stencil designs commercially produced!
Thanks! I just got my 12x14 gelli plate so it’s fun to see
what you can do! I have a roll of medical exam paper.

I am sure that it could be, however I don’t work in fabric so your best bet would be to experiment!
The special paper you use for gel printing is very very expensive, can you suggest an alternative much cheaper please. Wonderful tutorials, thank you!
I only use rice paper as I create my collage art with the papers. You could experiment with what you have on hand! Thanks Nicky
Could not find your stencil site, please advise. Love, racing spots.

Golden, high quality paint, will dilute pretty nicely but opaque pigments will never be one totally translucent.

what did it come in if not a plastic clam shell? that is where you store it.
