Hello Shel, I love all your gelli prints. The awesome thing about gelli printing is that you never know what you will end up with. Thanks for sharing. These videos have given me techniques to expand on with geli printing.
Thank you Carlotta :) Those homemade stencils have a unique quality to their plastic that allows for interesting dried paint flakes to come off sometimes.
Hi Shel, I have been catching up on your gelli plating series. Such fun! Your prints are beautiful, creative, and inspiring. I have not had much luck with my gelli plates in the past so they intimidate me. But watching you play and create inspires me to play and learn. Practice will only help. I hope you show us your finished journal. TFS!
Loved them all but my favorite at half way point was the sewing thread. I was surprised how thick that thin thread showed up. I love gel printing and am about to make a new plate, probably do a 11 x 15 size or something like that. Whatever my lasagna pan size is. My old one I made lasted several years and I've re melted several times and it is just time for a fresh plate. I want to go back and start this from the beginning and do the whole month along with you. THanks for doing your videos in the voice over as it's sped up. THat is very helpful for busy people but still get to see exactly what you are doing.
Your experience shows. I get mixed up in the layers so I'll watch some of the gelli plate ones over again. Never realized one could branch out so i nterestingly. Love them, Shel. Jane
Shel this was really fun to watch - love how you did the flowers and the string. oh I must play TFS - i am really learning so much from watching this challenge - thank you for making your FF version - so inspiring : )
Hi Shel, I am loving watching you do so many types of gel prints this month, but how could you say THAT word!!! LOL even the Snarky Bunnies ears shot up on hearing it!!! Lol😂😂😂😂
I am really enjoying this series. Thanks for showing how to use 6X6 stencils. I don’t have any of the larger ones, and thought I would need to buy some. More money for something else on my wish list. Thank you also for the matte gel medium info. I did not know you could use that in such a way. I always thought of it as an adhesive like Mod Podge. TFS
This was awesome! Thankyou so much. I am new to gel plate printing and loved all the technicians you demonstrated. I tried to write them all down. I will be keeping this as a reference! Thanks again😊
Shel, Love the flowers a bunch,❣ #crustybits ❣😉😉😉 The strings were really cool I've got to say that I think my favorite was the way the eyelashe yarn came out. On a different note I don't know how you do it, my brain is befuddled just trying to work out what would be in front of what. LoL LoL LoL LoL LoL LoL Now you've got a new #snarkybunny❣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's a shame about the LOVE print not coming up the way you described it would have been pretty cool. ❤❤❤❤ All the others were really cool too❣
This was great Shel! I have snarky squirrels here. Lol I had 4 soccer players at once here. Been a couple years now. Enjoyed this video (as I do all your videos) hugs ♡
I am really enjoying this series, thank you for sharing, I can’t believe how much you can do with your gelli pad, I guess you could say the skies the limit, take care from Kari Villebrun
Thank you! This video is 5 years old and I am just now trying Gelli printing. I am wondering if you are still doing this? I learned from your videos but my style is more of a clean look and I wonder if you ever do that also if you made anything with these prints? I will peruse some of your videos. 😊
Great prints! I love the bunnies and the soccer guy. Watching your video it occurred to me--i never can remember how I made my favorite prints. Having a video record would be a big help. (Or I suppose I could just write my steps down as I go lol)
Thank you Amy :) The thing about monoprinting is the best stuff you get is unexpected LOL. Even if you know what you did you can never really repeat it. My best suggestion is to scan that print and use it again in a printed format if you REALLY love it!
Just plain wow! Do you have another video about the masking lime you did with the flowers? Your prints are fantastic! Your explanation of the layers is great! I am learning a lot.
Thank you Jesse :) I am glad you are enjoying the gel printing videos. Here is another one similar to the masking one at the beginning of the video. th-cam.com/video/O8njiG-ukj4/w-d-xo.html
I recently got a gelli plate and I've been trying to learn different techniques to use it. I have a lot of stencils that are smaller so it was neat to see how you used the smaller ones to create a larger pattern. I'd also been wondering if you could use matte medium like white acrylic paint to lift a print and it's cool that you can. So I know that. I kind of go crazy when I sit down to make gelli prints and keep playing around and trying new things and the next thing I know I have like 20 pages filled up and I'm still not sure what to do with them all.
I am so glad you are enjoying your plate! I get carried away also :) I use my prints for collage work. Sometimes a whole page as a background in a art journal or often I tear them up. I have lots and lots of videos on this channel with all the printing techniques and how I use the prints in my artwork. Enjoy!
Love the videos! When you are pulling prints using paper (not the deli), it looks like there is a shine to the paper. Is it just a reflection or can you share what kind of paper you are using for the pulls? Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Cindy :) Yes, I have been using an old stack of Stampin' Up! glossy white cardstock. I am printing on both sides of those pieces as I plan to make a journal from them as I have done before. My old gel print journal is all used up! I have 'heard' not to use that sort of coated paper on the plate as it will 'stick' but I have not had a problem with it. I didn't choose to use it because it is glossy on one side..but just because I have a TON of it sitting around LOL
Love your techniques. So much talent!! And thanks SO MUCH for including a very thorough list of supplies and paints. I have noticed that you sometimes use glossy magazine-style paper on the gel plate. I think I heard somewhere it is not recommended to use coated papers. It does something to the gel plate. Has that ever happened for you?
Thank you Minna 😊 I have had no trouble with the magazine pages on the plate. I use plenty of acrylic paint layer so that does separate the paper from the plate. I have used all sorts of stuff on my plate for 3 years and it is still fine with just a bit of yellowing.
Enjoyed it! Just a reminder: the “snarky” bunny was here first. All the critters were here long before humans showed up and they have to put up with US. Humans are way-hay worse, especially the gel print types ;o)
Are you using glossy paper to pull your prints? I would so love to see some videos using other medium besides acrylic because I would love to be able to incorporate them into encaustic work.
I have sometimes used glossy cardstock to pull prints. I had a big stack of that paper left over from my stamping days. These days I am way into collage and incorporating collage into mixed media..so I use thinner papers. I have TONS of videos on my channel about all sorts of gel printing techniques with all sorts of mediums! Thanks for watching :)
Love home made stencisl. How did you make yours again? You mentioned "plastic used for dividers" cut with "what knife"? any tips would be appreciated. thank you
Hi :) I used those plastic tabbed dividers you can get at the dollar store. I used a hot knife...also known as a wood burning tool. I taped my drawing to a piece of glass then taped the plastic sheet over it. Then I plugged in the knife and used the smallest tip to draw over the lines..cutting out the stencil. Thanks for watching :)
I used several different types of paper in this video. Some is a white cardstock. Some is regular paper from the printer. Some is deli paper which is a dry waxed parchment type paper.
That was a sort of mixture of Decoart media fluid acrylics. First I put on prussian blue, and then over the top of it with Payne's grey. Silly they call it grey..it is a dark navy blue LOL goo.gl/xN2wUL goo.gl/S3Dm2g
Love the soccer, and bunnies best!
Thank you Nonnie :)
I think my favorite was the white silhouette on purple with the yellow on top. Haven't done gel printing, but it looks like so much fun!
Shel C It's on my to-do list!
Those turned out great. Liked the ones with the strings and eyelash yarn.
Thank you Marie :) That eyelash yarn is super cool marks!
Fabulous. You can get so much out of your plate!
Using the 6x6 in conjunction with the 12x12 = brilliant.
Thank you Kay :) Took me awhile to figure that out but it really is handy!
Loved the bunnies!
Thank you Jo :) Bunnies are so cute!
Thanks for taking time to explain what you are doing!
You are welcome Susan :)
Oh Such Cool Prints. .. I loved the copper with the dark brown that was fabulous x
Thank you Elaine :) Copper is always good LOL
Yep the best Shel x

Thanks for watching Laura :)
Bonjour Shel - vous êtes géniale - j'aime ce que vous faites.Vous êtes la fée du Scrape.
NON Shel - PAS ferraille (c'est pas ça) Fée du scrapbooking!
vous êtes SUPER géniale - it's very nice!
The wildflower print using your homemade stencil, that you pull at 5:35, wow! That just looks amazing. TFS
Thank you Carlotta :) Those homemade stencils have a unique quality to their plastic that allows for interesting dried paint flakes to come off sometimes.

So cool!! Thanks for doing this and sharing with us!!
Thank you for watching Lori :)
I love the series. I have to admit to loving the dark metallic thread one! So cool
Awesome, looking forward to the next group.
That's clever printing, I'll watch it again when I'll use the gelliplate next time. Lots to try, thanks Shel!
Cool prints, Gelli prints are so much fun. Never know what we get from print to print. Fun
Thank you Vicki :) That is exactly it..the somewhat controlled...but really just chaos...effect!
Awesome prints Shel. I'm glad you're doing this challenge. I love gelli printing videos and you've been doing some unique ones. I'm enthralled!
Thank you Ash :) I am kind of a unique girl most days LOL
Ashs Vision =Amazing
Love the prints, Shel. Very clever, holding the stencil with a piece of paper, to lift paint. I will do this from now on!
Thank you Cheryl :)
Thanks for sharing!!
High Shel, long time since I had a moment to watch what you're up to. Love the prints. Xx

Thank you Lori ;) I make speed up videos with voice overs because that is what I like to watch so I am glad it is helpful! Enjoy your new plate!
Your experience shows. I get mixed up in the layers so I'll watch some of the gelli plate ones over again. Never realized one could branch out so i nterestingly. Love them, Shel. Jane
Thank you Jane 😊 give me a challenge and I will try to stretch my imagination as much as I can that day lol
What fun! I got some great ideas! TFS!
So creative! Love hearing the details of the process.
Thank you Kathleen :) I hope I can share my experience and help someone else really enjoy the gel printing process!
I have to get paper I WANT TO PLAY. Hopefully soon love your ideas they are awesome.
Shel C Great idea just don't hAve a printer, it will take sometime but I will get some thank you
Very interesting. I liked the soccer player. That came out so nice. thanks for sharing
Thank you Bridget 😊 I gave that print to my son... he is a player, referee, and fan!
Yay! Shel C, Love, love your printing. Gives me good ideas to try. Are we all still in the learning stage with gel printing? I think so.
Thank you Ruth Ann :) Yes, the experimenting is still all out there and ready to be done!
Shel this was really fun to watch - love how you did the flowers and the string. oh I must play TFS - i am really learning so much from watching this challenge - thank you for making your FF version - so inspiring : )

Thank you Judy :)
Shel,
Love the flowers a bunch,❣
#crustybits ❣😉😉😉
The strings were really cool I've got to say that I think my favorite was the way the eyelashe yarn came out.
On a different note I don't know how you do it, my brain is befuddled just trying to work out what would be in front of what. LoL LoL LoL LoL LoL LoL
Now you've got a new #snarkybunny❣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's a shame about the LOVE print not coming up the way you described it would have been pretty cool. ❤❤❤❤
All the others were really cool too❣
Thanks again Shel, for the video. It is inspirational, it makes me want to pull out my gelli plate.
Thank you Ruth :) I think you should get out that gel plate and have a painty fun time!

Thanks
What type of paper are you using?
I used several different types of paper in this video. Some is a white cardstock. Some is regular paper from the printer. Some is deli paper which is a dry waxed parchment type paper.
Have you ever done printing on fabric?
Yes, but not as much as I would like to. Its in the lists.
Shel C, I found it! Liked the burlap effect too. I’m a quilter. That is: art quilter. Can’t wait to try.
Shel what is the turquoise color from a tube at 11:38?
Ohhh one of my favorites! Phthalo green - here is a link with a small inexpensive tube to try. amzn.to/2txbAuq
And the Navy at 18:55? Thank you. I'm not a fan of blues but those two are gorgeous
That was a sort of mixture of Decoart media fluid acrylics. First I put on prussian blue, and then over the top of it with Payne's grey. Silly they call it grey..it is a dark navy blue LOL goo.gl/xN2wUL goo.gl/S3Dm2g
Thank you so much. Added to cart.
