Inspired to have a quick look the the art supplies. I have fabric paint - this would be OK to use too? There is also textile medium and fabric paint extender, so I can mix and match.
Absolutely use the fabric paint. That shouldn't need either medium, but if your paint needs some loosening up that would be the ticket. You can definitely mix and match.
Oh, that is fabulous. Does the textile medium keep the paint from getting stiff? I like the print, but I’m In love with the wide ribbon and the wipe-off cloth. Nothing goes to waste! Wonderful! Looking forward to seeing more.
Hi Mara! Thank you so much. The fabric medium does stop the fabric from getting stiff. I do wash my fabric and that also helps. There is a separate video on washing etc.
I haven't tried freezer paper, it's ludicrously expensive in Australia as it's not a common household product here. If you look at some of my more recent videos you will see that I have been using a 'weight' on my prints. That is the most consistent in giving me good contact results. Also apologies for not responding to your comment sooner. TH-cam has not been showing me comments in my feed 😕
Hi Sunita, the gelli plate I use is a commercial product which I bought online. The material is some type of silicone plastic. You can also make your own gelli plate from gelatin, just search for "make your own gelli plate" on TH-cam. There are lots of videos showing how to do it. Home made plates work just fine. They do need to be kept in the refrigerator.
Very interesting. Love projects that are simple but get such great results!
Thanks Mandy! I hope you can try it soon.
Love your thorough presentation.
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. It can be a bit of a challenge to balance giving thorough treatment without boring people to death.😊
Is gesso good for that ?
Thank you for your very intteristihn video

Thank you!
Does stabilizing fabric with freezer paper help with better coverage?

Pls give some information on the gelling plate

Is the “ textile base” GAC?
