We used to use full page labels applied to our choice of fabric. Gives the same stability. Will still go through your printer and should work the same on your gelli. Cheaper too. We also were able to reuse the label.
@@SusanCliftonArtist freezer paper has a plastic type of coating on one side, this what will stick to the fabric by pressing it with no steam. Once I have it partially stuck down I turn it over to press it on the paper side to get a good attachment to the fabric. When you want to remove it just peel it off comes off clean. Also can be used as a palate paper on the slick side.
I didn't know you could purchase the paper-backed fabric, and as much as I like Jacquard products, I would definitely use the freezer paper method. When we all needed masks, I was printing fabric that said, "Saving a bundle on lipstick" or "Willing to leave the house for tequila" on fabric. It was when I researched how to print on fabric that I found this technique used by quilters. I have not tried anything other than plain muslin cotton. Easy to iron on a piece of fabric and then trim with your rotary cutter to the right size for the printer. Another fun use is to print a design like a coloring page and then color it with something like Intense Blocks or Inktense pencils. Moisten the color with an appropriate-sized brush and hand sanitizer gel, since we all have it now, correct? Still needs to be heat-set if you're going to launder.
I use both paper and fabric in my collage work. I have lots of videos on collage that show how I select papers and work on composition. Thanks for watching.
Fabulous! I have an unopened bottle of GAC900 but I've not thought to use it on the gel plate! I used to do fabric paintings in the early'80s and last I looked, my paint was still viable! Lol! I love how your pink stencil turned out! I have never used silk! Wow! I have a box of white fabric that needs to have some attention! And, I'm wondering how using larger fabric sizes and then using the gel plate like a stamp... having it on some plexiglass to put it down just where I want it... Hmmmm. Oh dear.... Thanks, it was wonderful!
@@SusanCliftonArtist Yes! I do not have anything large enough for my 8x10" plate but I have several old stamping bases that work with my smaller plates. I watch a lot of PM Artist Studio videos and they have a backing on all of their plates. It makes it so much easier to understand what it will look like because you can look at the back and see the layers.
You could print on clothes, tee shirts, aprons, skirts, etc. I would suggest securing it to a piece of cardboard to control it. Then use the gelli plate as a stamp. The paint through can be used with just a brush.

beautifull! I especially liked the backsides with the more muted colours and the soft sheen. So pretty.
Yes. me too.
Super ! I'll have to go back to that technique. I make my own cotton paper sheets with freezer paper... ;-) Thanks for waking me up !
You are the second person to mention freezer paper. Where have I been? I never heard of this. I'll look into it. Thanks,
@@SusanCliftonArtist Yes and you can even put it through your printer !
You can also use A4 sticky back paper the kind you use to print stickers and seems to work better in the printer too
@@beverlea1961 Absolutely although freezer paper is cheaper...
With using silk fabric, this can be iron onto freezer paper which will peel right off. Same with the cotton.
Sounds interesting. I have no experience with freezer paper.

That was awesome!
Thank you! 😎
I've been wanting to experiment with printing fabric on the gel plate to use as book covers. Thanks for this wonderful lesson!
You are so welcome!

Thanks for sharing those ideas.
So cool. Gotta try this.
Go for it!
Beautiful!😊
Thank you! 😊
Looks like fun! Love it! Thanks for showing us this! I would like to know how you use all these various gelli prints

Great tips❤
Thank you!! 😎

That sounds like a great idea. I've seen other use the plate like a stamp.

Thanks for watching.
Do you think if you used a baren on the cotton over the intricate stencil that you might get a better print? Loved this idea! Thank you!
I'm not sure. I haven't tried to print on fabric again. I fell in love with rice paper.
Do you use it onclothes? How? Love this 🎉😊

I am wondering if this fabric is available in rolls or bolts. Would love to make some silk scarves for my shop.
You could always use the freezer paper trick with any fabric you would like to use. They say you can iron it on. I haven't tried it. 😎
What options are there for using these?
I create mixed media artwork with fabric but anything that you would make with fabric would work. . . maybe quilts.
