It's dark outside now and I'm in my nightclothes, but I have a serious urge to sneak out into the yard, pluck some leaves and start printing! Lovely work.
Same here!
A fellow true artist lol.
As fall is arriving in Oregon (usa) had to watch a re-run of your fabulous video! Lovely prints!
I have had a gel plate for ever and now I am going to get it out and try it. Thanks for the inspiration
Ive been looking for a botanical gelli technique that suits my taste and you really nailed it. Thank you.
I love botanical prints. I need to get some fern! I watched a video of an artist that preserved her leaves with glycerin to reuse them.
This is lovely, Teresa. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
Love the colors. For me it clarified the process. Thank you.
Best gelli printing I have yet to see, straight to the point without to much chat, love the tip using tape so you can reposition ,Brilliant thank you
I could watch / make leaf prints all day, no apology needed for doing these again ❤️
This is probably my most favourite video on leaf printing and layers! Thank you😊
These prints were stunning, Teresa. Thanks a lot for sharing your technique with us. I am never tired of watching you play! Loved the ideas for finished projects. Take care.
I’m so pleased that I found your video. I had collected leaves this evening then searched for help printing leaves. These prints are stunning! I’ve never seen such beautiful prints with leaves 😊
Stunning and mesmerizing - can't get enough of this technique!!!
Thank you so much for this video! Definitely one of the best to understand and the ideas for how to use the prints, is especially helpful😊
These are so beautiful! Appreciate that you went on to completed ideas to use them on.
Hello, I'm a first time viewer in the US. I liked and subscribed!!!
Thank you so much for reviewing this technique. This video was so informative. I loved the results of your Eco Prints. I always wondered how they were created.. Cheers.
Loved this video, the idea of the hinge is genius. I know you said the paper is Faber Castel mixed medium paper. I was curious as to the weight of the paper.
These are gorgeous! Your process makes it look easy, I’ve always wanted to try it. Thanks for sharing (2 years later😉) ❤️🇨🇦
These prints are amazing. Thank you. Watching you made me realize I’ve been using too much paint and my prints always look heavy. I’ll be getting my gel press out today to see what I can come up with😍
I have learned that less paint always works better. 😊
I impulsively bought a gelli plate and have been super intimated by it. . You make this look so fun and well easy. . All the other vids I've watched were so complicated feeling.
I feel the same as I just did the same thing. New Gelli plate but trying to understand the layering technique.
Absolutely gorgeous prints. Never tire of them.
Really enjoyed this, great tip to use the masking tape. And loved the finished pieces too.
Leaf printing on the gel plate never gets old! I love what you did with your prints. Thank you for another inspiring video!
Those are all so beautiful and I love the taping down idea, definitely going to try that! Thanks for sharing 🍂🍃🌿🍁🌱
I LOVED this video so much that I saved it to multiple playlists. These prints would also look fabulous printed on fabric and made into quilts, blouses and home decor items such as pillows, wallpaper and/or Roman shades. They would also make a fabulous gallery wall.
Thank you so much for this and for redoing this specific project with leaves (I watched the other one first). I just have not used my gel plate yet and wanted something simple and inspiring to get me going and this is just what I needed!
Really enjoyed your video. Has inspired me.
I love seeing you take your already-gorgeous prints to the next level with amazing finished products/suggestions! So helpful!
I don't mind the repeat of this technique. No two prints look the same and seeing how each one comes out is so much fun.
I’m really impressed! You have a beautiful technique here, it’s lovely, thank you I enjoyed watching.
So lovely and very inspiring, Teresa ~ we can appreciate nature in a whole new way with this technique. Thanks very much! 🍁🍂🍃
Your video, explanations and techniques are exception! I learned a lot and was enraptured!
A most enjoyable and informative video. Never tried a gelplate. Inspiring. Loved seeing the completed projects too. Thank you. ☺
I loved this video. Your prints and projects are all beautiful. I enjoyed the slower portion so much that I actually slowed the second part down. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Your autumn leaf prints are among my favorites of your videos. The longer your video, the better! 😊
Thank you so much. I try to create some longer and some shorter videos. Shorter ones always get more views, but I know I can explore techniques further in a longer video. Hopefully I keep the balance right so everyone can enjoy my channel x
what a difference a frame makes! i used to frame my little boy's stuff he did at school, massive difference x
Teresa, thank you! I love pulling prints, but I haven't gotten layering and the right colors to avoid mud yet. I spent my afternoon pulling prints with this technique and sets of colors, then went off on my own with beautiful results. What a fabulous way to celebrate Samhain! :)
Again,,, these are just beautiful,, and I have really enjoyed the project ideas. I tried your whimsical fish cards from a previous video and like how they turned out! 💕💕🌻
What was the name of the paper you was using I didn’t quiet catch it I am U.K. too
Faner Castell Mixed Media
Thank you so very much. What kind of paper did you use?❤️
I wondered that too....
New to the gelli printing. I have been gifted one two yrs ago. Afraid of using it. But after watching your fantastic tutorial I'll give it a try! Thank you. For me, the best gelli printing tut ever. And I've watched loads...
Lovely watch Teresa, makes me want to have a go. Can I print on fabric, I wonder. Are there any specifics I need to know?
Thank you so much Teresa, I really really enjoyed watching you playing with your Gelli Plate, and no of course I don’t mind, I really really love ❤️ the prints that you got, and I really really love ❤️ that your going to frame some of them. Beautiful work, and very inspiring too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
So much for my trying eco printing lol, this is my new favorite way to get the leaf effect on paper!! Thank you so much for sharing this technique! 😁💖
beautiful prints Teresa...yes I have some lovely leaves out in my yard so will love to play with my gel plate...thanks for sharing
I love that you are doing leaves again. I followed the last video that you did on leaves and my prince came out great! I was a total newbie then. Thanks for this lovely video.
Thank you. I hope you have continued success with this technique 😊
Your video is so clear in its instructions, particularly for a beginner like me. Thank you so much! I’ve subscribed to your channel.
Hi there...loved your tutorial! THANKS HEAPS...im new to your channel.. originally from Sheffield UK but now in Oz.AUTUMN IS MY FAVOURITE SEASON AND I miss my homeland still after 27 years...much love Angie from OZ XO
What paints do you use?
I’m in USA
THANK YOU
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Love your prints! I can’t wait to try this!
I missed what kind of paper you're using. It looks like a standard watercolor paper?
Thanks for this amazing show of the perfect technique. I understood everything. It is organized so that everything is clear and simple. Christine Challans. Britain
Beautiful results with this technique! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas.👏
Wow Teresa! I LOVE your leaf prints! Thank you for sharing your great technique! I also love all those ideas for using the prints, and love the tags you made out of one. 💖🌸🙂
Thank you so much. Love your instructions and I've just made some. Lots of fun and great results. I love your colours too. I'm a novice. ☺️ Mannum, South Australia.
Lovely Theresa I must buy some of those paints I am using pebeo at the moment. Maybe they are too heavy I liked the dark one best, do you have to seal the prints before framing them
Pebeo paints should work fine, just don't apply them too thickly. I do like the fluidity of these paints though and they have a nice sheen to them when dry. I never seal my prints. Acrylic paints are permanent when dry and wont transfer or rub off.
I loved your demos! And also showing how to display and use these prints for Art pieces! Thanks!
What a lovely video. I'm SO happy that you made it and I had the chance to watch it. I made a gel plate during a ceramics course and am so excited to see all the other creative projects for which it can be used. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for showing what to actually do with all those beautiful prints. I always get carried away making so many prints but don’t know what or how to show them in projects! I love all the cards you made with the prints ❤️
I loved your video❣️Even though it is April, I’m so glad that I stumbled across your video; it was fantastic ❤
Really informative video. Useful tip about the masking tape. Thanks for posting, and also introducing me to that beautiful song.
Fabulous!!!
Have just bought a Gelli plate and can’t wait to get going - leaf hunting in January might be challenging… Thankyou for the inspiration!
Love this technique...and the colors are so beautiful. Going to the garden and look around I can't wait to try this. TY for sharing.
Enjoyed this video very much. I do in fact have some difficulty accessing leaves even in Fall, but have taken to going through the flower section of Michael's when I get there, to see if bits have fallen off onto the floor. I've acquired a small collection of leaves from there -- they are veined nicely -- and these don't fade away either. I'm not sure how long real leaves last once you've painted over them a few times. Does that kind of preserve them?
Fantastic. Great tutorial. I've been trying to create a picture using gel plate and leaf prints and hasn't been working the way I want. Sticking the paper down ?? Brilliant. thank you.
Absolutely wonderful. I just got a gelli plate. I noticed you used the oil after a few pulls. Should this be done at the end of a printing session. Haven’t come across too much info on conditioning the plate. Thanks. Dorothy
I've watched so many gel plate videos yours is unmatched. Bravo!
Great video again, thanks. I just sat in front of my large Gelli plate considering cutting it up…..bit the bullet and bought a smaller one for my cards. X from France.
This is my favorite botanical gel printing video. I’ve had such difficulty making leaf prints - this video is so explanatory! Thank you so much for sharing this! I just spent the Thanksgiving holiday with family in the suburbs - they have so many trees - collecting leaves & ferns. I’m home now & can’t wait to try this technique. Your work is so beautiful & all of your videos are excellent sources of inspiration.
What I use for stamping, I think will work for doing this too is on amazon you can buy replacement air hockey pucks. They give you a smooth all over look and are cheap. Which as a crafter, is always something we need to be looking for to save for other things. LOL
I have not started with this gel printing yet as I want to know what to do before I buy into it. I have learned this lesson from other crafts that only made me hate the idea of crafting! This really looks like something I can do for card fronts to give them pop. As that is why I stopped making cards, mine just never looked the ones on youtube. : (
So gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!❤️
Such stunning images today Teresa, thank you.
Autumn is my favourite season and you have captured the colours perfectly.
I love autumn and spring best - so much change and colour to see.
I am just getting started with gelli prints and I love your work. What paper did you use for your prints?
Just thought of another stamping idea that would work for doing the gel this way, a stamping platform You don't need to go out and pay a forturne for one of those either, amazon has them as well and craft store sales. This will save you on having to keep buying tape. : )
I loved this demonstration. I’m definitely going to buy a gel plate and get started. Also enjoyed the music.
Love this Teresa, glad I found your channel. I just subscribed without checking to see if you are still currently posting.
Wonderful result. I love this tut and will try it myself. Thanks so much for sharing.
Stunning! I love how you mix two different colored paints with the roller in a seemingly irregular manner!!!
I LOVE these! Especially how the tags turned out! Very nice. Thank you for the share!😮
I am so new to gelli printing, but your videos are helping me with color and technique choices. Thank you SO much for sharing! This is a great excuse for a nature walk today! ❤️
Brilliant work,,,thanks and keep up with all the blessings.
I’m inspired by your video. I will have to buy a gel plate soon
I love these! I always enjoy watching you gelli print. I need to print again. Already saved a few leaves.🙂
I follow your tutorials and I Learn a lot with you thanks for your share
Thank you, so glad you find my videos helpful.
This has helped me a lot as a beginner, easy to understand and follow.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful printing techniques. These are so wonderful!
Beautiful!! Thankyou, what do you clean your j plate with?? ❤
I absolutely love your technic, you made it so easy to understand, that I will try this, for sure ,thank you ! 😊
Fantastic really enjoyed it no apologies needed Thankyou 🎃🧡🤎💚
It's always so fascinating watching you do these prints. They're completely stunning 😍 😍😍!!!
Hi there, I've seen other videos on picking up a print and then add another layer of paint. How long do you leave the first layer to dry before you pick up the leaf vein
How do you clean the plate between prints? Newbie here and want to learn. Thank you in advance.
I can’t wait to try your technique! Just beautiful! What do you use to clean the gelli pad?
Hi. I like it very much. It is beautiful. Do you use baby oil for cleaning the plate?
Very inspiring tutorial 💖Thank you 🌷♥️🌷
I love it very much. You explain it very nice and brightly❤
What weight of paper are you using)
Love this video. Thanks
I could watch you print with leaves every day! They’re amazing.
This is beautiful work Teresa, thank you so much for showing this awesome process :)
Thanks so much. Just trying to print cards using gellinplate
