Bonjour Clare, heureuse de faire votre connaissance. Je m'inscris immédiatement car je trouve votre travail tres soigné, très "carré" comme on dit en français lorsque le boulot est joliment fini. Vos explications sont parfaites et détaillées. Je me régale et même si nous sommes nombreuses à nous servir de la botanique, nous avons, chacune notre petit "je ne sais quoi" pour nous faire rêver. Merci, continuez !! À bientôt [Tanee du sud de la France].
Hi Sue, you can find the links to both my ‘Gelli printing with Mesh’ th-cam.com/video/XZcUChfITVY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hafps7JaRLtZJVeE and ‘Top 5 textures’ video in the description to this video 🙂
@@s.k.1091 I have zero knowledge of plants, I kill everything that I try and grow. I thought Queen Anne’s Lace was the same as Cow Parsley, but I’m probably wrong. 🙂
Thank you Debbie, during my video Unlock the Magic of Gelli Printing: Top 5 Textures you must try I show how I use textures to create backgrounds 😊 th-cam.com/video/qlaOUbFRv-U/w-d-xo.html
When I’m using my large Gel plate, I re-use the first pull on the tissue paper a couple of times and then use the large sheets as wrapping paper. I’ll use the smaller pieces from the smaller plates for mixed media projects. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed the video. Here in the UK (North West) Cow parsley and Wild Carrot grow along our cycles paths. I think it’s also called Queen Anne’s Lace when you buy packs of seeds. 🙂
Hi Carol, I have a video of how I use textures on the Gelli Plate (see link below or in the description). th-cam.com/video/qlaOUbFRv-U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LhRlwlqZXW5sJ-Wv I used a piece of mesh to create the background in the first print.
Beautiful, thanks Clare, I'm going to have to grow some carrots to get that lovely foliage! I sometimes try to pull a positive print using matt medium and deli paper, but finding the deli paper is wrinkling...should I use less matt medium?? Much thanks 🤫
I grew my Wild Carrot from seed this year, it doesn’t actually produce and carrots, just beautiful flowers. The nature of deli paper/wet strength tissue paper is to wrinkle. when it gets wet from the medium it stretches and then wrinkles. It’s a balance of using enough Matt medium to transfer your print from your plate but not too much as the paper gets too wet. Sometimes you just have to embrace the wrinkles! Hope this helps 🙂
This looks great, thank you for sharing this. Is it me? I can’t find the video about how you make the backgrounds? Hope to hear from you and thank you. Best regards, Natasja 🙏🏼
Thank you Natasja, I have a video showing my top 5 textures. This shows the method I use for creating my backgrounds on the Gelli plate. I have had a lot of messages specifically about the mesh texture I use in my botanical video, I am in the process of putting a video together on how I created this background. 🙂
This work is SO beautiful! I watched the attached link for backgrounds, but didn't see the first background yu used to make the first print. Please tell me where to see/find this or what you used. Thank you so much!
Hi, I used a piece of mesh as the texture to create the first background. I followed the exact same steps/method as in my 'Top 5 Textures' video, I just substituted the leek (or other texture) for a piece of mesh. I hope that makes sense. 😊

Never knew you could use matte medium on a geli plate. This is fabulous! Thanks so much for sharing your techniques.
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful 🙂

drooling over your pressed foliage! Also how well you get them to make prints....
Thank you, It is a collection built up over many years. 🙂
Thanks for the inspiration, these are so pretty. What you call wild carrot, here in Florida we call it Queen Anne's Lace❤
You’re welcome! That’s interesting to know, thank you 🙂
I’m in California and I think Queen Anne’s Lace is a different plant?

You had me at Payne’s Grey!! LOVE!!❤. Gorgeous, clean, natural!!
@@barbarahenn-pander5872 Thank you, I am a little obsessed with Paynes Grey. My channel is starting to look a bit ‘blue’ 😂
learned a lot more from this gelli printer than others.
Thank you, that’s good to know. 🙂
These are beautiful prints - thank you for sharing the process so well.
You are so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
These are gorgeous prints and Thanks so much for the tip about using the Matte Medium !
Glad you like them! Matte medium is really useful on the Gelli plate 🙂
Gorgeous. Love your pile of pressed plants. I’d love to see a video on how you make your backgrounds

Beautiful prints! What do you do with your ghost prints?
When I’m using my large Gel plate, I re-use the first pull on the tissue paper a couple of times and then use the large sheets as wrapping paper. I’ll use the smaller pieces from the smaller plates for mixed media projects. 🙂
Really great!! Thank you so very much! Makes me want to get going again with my gel printing! Where does one find wild carrots?? Great teaching!

Thanks for sharing your techniques, wanted to say Hello, I’m a new subscriber to your channel.
Hi Rose, Thank you for subscribing to my channel. I hope you are finding my videos helpful 🙂
What paper do you use for your final print?
I use 160gsm cartridge paper (sketchbook paper). 🙂
I was wondering about saving the botanicals? Do you use them fresh first and then save them, or dry them before using?
I usually press them overnight to begin with. I then print with them, let them dry and then press them again. Hope that helps! 😊
What did you use for the background print on the premade one at 2:38 in your video? I love it!
Its a piece of mesh. I think it came as a sheet in an assorted pack of papers that I was given along time ago.

Hi Clare, are the preprinted papers copier paper too?
Hi Debbie, no I alway print onto 160gsm cartridge paper 🙂
