- This week, I am making small art on gel plates.
Working on multiple gel plates at one time is super fun and can produce incredible results.
Join me while I make nine art pieces on three gel plates in one quick studio session.

Every creative person has different needs. Here are the different ways to enjoy these videos.
- Some enjoy hearing me explain my process. If that’s you, make sure your volume is on.
- Others prefer to read my process through the closed-caption subtitles. If that’s you, turn on the CC at the bottom right of the video.
- Some don’t want to hear my voice (that’s ok 😀). If that’s you, turn the volume off and watch.
I have had every video electronically translated through close captioned subtitles into 18 different languages to be able to reach and connect with as many people as possible. If your language is not represented, please let me know.

Viewing your old videos as I lay in hospital makes me want to get out of here so much quicker! Reviewing is helpful to create more ideas. Thanks Jackie!
Oh Trini - I truly hope you are back in your studio soon. I'm glad I can keep you company while you're there 🥰 Speedy recovery my friend.
@@PaintedPaperStudio ❤️🎨
I taped a 18" x 24" sheet of rigid plastic from a poster frame (used to protect the art) and I taped down that plastic sheet to my counter, placed the gel plates, and then outlined the plates with masking tape to use for registration. The gelli plates stay put and I use the plastic sheet over and over.
Yolanda! This is a great suggestion, and very clever way to use items you already have. I use plexiglass for all my mid-sized plates, but had not thought of a good way to mount severaal of the smaller ones at once. I'll give it a try 🥰
No worries about the camera thing. The joy on your face as you pulled those last prints... wow! This is why we make art because sometimes true magic happens. Thanks for sharing all these wonderful ideas with us.
Thank you, Ellen! And yes, sometimes magic does happen and it surprises and delights me every single time. I'm so happy you're here. 🥰
Just wanted to say, it's always kind of a relief to get to your channel after being elsewhere as your narration over the top is such a direct and concise way to let peeps know the info, it works so well, definitely a great way to do art videos rather than talking while doing the demo. Your set up is working 10 outa 10, just thut I'd say! Mind U some tutors have got their chat while doing their demo, down pat, and it works well, but just wanted to say how polished yourchannel is looking Jackie! I'm a new subscriber and you've become a fav for.me lol!! Great work as always btw!!
Thank you very much, Erin, that means so much to me! I am so glad the style works for you and I appreciate you being here. 🥰
Uuuuuuuh, the Titan Buff graphite powder ones are really so pretty 🤩!! They will surely look so beautiful with black frames!
Being open for experiments is always best and will often lead to stunning discoveries and exciting results to make your heart sing 💗!
Aloha from Berlin ❤🧡💛💚💜
Queen - I knew you were going to like that one! Experimenting is the best 🥰
I just love the joy on your face whenever your experiments turn out so wonderful. Love love love your work and how you are sharing your process.
Thank you very much, Rosy. I get so happy when I'm create something that surprises me. I feel like a kid again. 🥰
A tip, DONT put texture material under the gel plate, is going to dent your plates (or mark). Put a piece of acrylic, a little bit bigger than the plate,, it will stay without move. Also you can lift it and pick the other side or even align it, putting* the sheet on the table and the gel plate over (as a stamp)). I’ll be more than glad to give you more tips if you need.
Hi ArtCurious, thank you for watching. I only use the mesh fabric to hold the gel plates in place for short periods of time, while I am working. When I'm done, I clean then and put them back in their original packaging. So far I have never had a problem with dents or marks. Using the gel plate as a stamp is an interesting idea. Thank you for shraing! 🥰
Lovely
Thank you, Pat. 🥰
It's so exciting to pull those prints! And I agree - the titan buff ones are fabulous! Thanks!
Thank you, Geri - those pulls were so satisfying. 🥰
Beautiful work, Jackie!❤ Those graphite, simple pulls are sooo glorious! Stand alone pieces 👌
Thank you, Suzi! 🥰
Gorgeous prints Jackie!❤
Thanks Cindy - so happy to see you here! 🥰
Oh, I love the graphite marks with the titan buff. Subtle yummy textures.😍
Absolutely delicious, Trina! I feel like I might go down a Titan Buff/Graphite rabbit hole 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio fantastic idea! 😍
GREAT
Thank you, Jackie! 🥰
loved this! always excites me to just print for the pure joy of creating... thank you :)
Right, Dawn? It's so fun 😍
Love them all!
Thank you, Scrappy! So nice to see you again 🥰
Beautiful pulls. I love the red with graphite!! All were great. And yes the pink would be beautiful in a journal or a background for a card. Love it all! Thanks for sharing your talent. ☮️❤️
Kerry, thank you very much - I'm so happy you're here! 🥰
Loved your prints today! Makes me want to get in my studio and play!
YAY - that is my grand plan - to get you into your studio and have some fun 🥰
👍🏻😊❤️
Thank you, Phyllis! 🥰
What fun this was. BTW, A while back when you tested the med exam paper I ordered some and OMGosh its one of my faves now. Even found it was acid free ( since it’s often against bare skin 😮 I guess). So thanks for that discovery too.
Thank you, Mayet. I'm so happy you are enjoying your medical exam paper. How did you discover that it's acid-free - that info could be a game changer for people on the fence with using it. 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio I was first told by someone else that it was, so to verify that I sourced out an 800# for the company and spoke to a customer representative, specifically asking if their crepe 21" wide exam table paper was acid free. I was told that it is medical grade, hypo-allergenic, acid free, has no coating or harmful chemicals thus meeting green product standards for composting and biodegrading as well as renewal product standards (meaning it's made from materials such as fast growing hemp, bamboo etc that are themselves easily renewed within no more than a 10 year cycle. In writing on their website I did not find the words acid-free but did find medical grade as well as the information about meeting the stringent green product and renewal product standards. I told the rep my use and she was surprised to learn artists are using. I suggest they include acid-free in their on-line text, saying it was a key word for artist re papers. PS, as you mentioned, the crepe rolls not the smooth rolls are what one buy. The smooth has a coating and is therefore less absorbent.
On another note, I've found a fabulous source for tea bag paper. An artist I found on instagram, @nimanoma, Naomi Southon. She sells three kinds in very large sheets, thin (her sheerest), medium, and a little thicker. They are also strong and reasonably priced. And tho she's in the UK, she ships anywhere with ease at reasonable rates. I've been VERY please with both product and service. the link to purchase can be found in her Insta linktree. Oh, and even if one doesn't order her paper, her Insta page is a wealth of gelli printing and collage paper making ideas and tips - some of the best out there, I think. If you haven't already discovered her, she's a great find. Such a long reply! I hope it's helpful and that I didn't waste your time. Love your channel, thank you so much for your dedication. Warmest regards, Mayet
one further thing! I went to my amazon history to find and copy the link to what I bought. That link was soooooOOOooo long I didn't add it here after all... I don't know how to convert that into a short link, sorry. If you'd like me to send it to you some other way, I'll be happy to. BUT, in the link it does say the words acid-free! So there we have it in writing, WOOT WOOT!
I love gelli printing and seeing, the surprises you get, it's so addictive, I haven't tried using graphite powder, your prints look amazing 😊
Thank you Debbie! The graphite powder always surprises and delights me. I hope you get to play with some soon. 🥰
Absolutely love the last 6!!! They are amazing!
Thank you, Chloé - I agree about the last 6. 🥰
What a wonderful time with you in your studio Jackie. I love the pulls you made and agree, that the most subtle three are! ready for framing! XO Britta
Thank you Britta! I am now mad at myself for not using the large gel plate 🙄. So happy you enjoyed the video 🥰
First one here this morning!! Happy happy happy : ))
Good morning sunshine! 🥰
As part of your faithful fan club, may I say great job. Love your expressions when you’re thrilled with results. Isn’t it funny how we forget the great KISS Theory until we get that gentle guidance and then we love those results the best? Listening to your inner voice seems to be something you do well. ❤
OMGosh Diana, you are so right, it's so easy to make things complicated when "simple" will do. I'm happy you enjoyed this one, and always happy to have you here. 🥰
Lord Almighty.
So love the graphite & titan buff. What an awesome video. surprise.
Candace, I keep going into the studio just to look at them 😍
Love all your prints! Graphite powder is amazing! Just ordered some. Thanks for sharing.
I think you are really going to enjoy using and exploring with it, Patricia. 🥰
Watching you work always inspires me to go play because you have such a joyful attitude.
Thank you, Rev. I'm actually working on a video right now that is inspired by you! 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio really??
@@revCMF Yes indeed - keep your eyes peeled 😀
Your videos are by far the best part of saturdays. Have a great holiday weekend.
What a super-sweet thing to say, Susan, thank you! 🥰
Thank you for your great ideas and thank you for your good mood😀
You're welcome, Catherine - it's so nice to have you here! 🥰
I absolutely LOVE the prints you pulled using the graphite powder, especially the 3 titan buff prints in the end! I agree with you, the subtlety of those is so beautiful! They remind me of the backgrounds of some old Japanese block prints my mother bought in Tokyo? They are simply gorgeous! And how much fun to have 12- 6" gel plates, wowza!! xoxoxo
Thanks Deanna - I really am trying to find a way to 1). Use all 12 at once, and 2). film it while I do. 😂
@@PaintedPaperStudio Sounds like that's going to take some special camera skills, huh?!? I know absolutely nothing about filming videos, so I'm unable to offer one iota of advice here, sorry! : )))
I understand the happiness found in those subtle prints. I often feel the same when i am just cleaning the plate off with a light colour and lift something like that. So glad you had a great day creating. 🥰
Happy, so great to see you! Yes, the subtle surprising ones are so fun when they happen. 🥰
Fun day with the gell plates 😊 All the prints are absolutely gorgeous! I ordered the exam paper and it will be fun to play when it gets here. Now I’m thinking of graphite powder, I love the cool effects it does and your prints came out really cool. Don’t worry about the video, technology doesn’t always cooperate.
Amen Fran! Today was not my day with technology - I sent an email out to my community and it had the wrong link for today's video 🙄 I think graphite powder would be a gorgeous addition to your beautiful journal pages. 🥰
Beautiful Jackie.. I think you would like Fresco paints from Paper Artsy
Thank you, Bonnie - now I'm going to go check out the fresco paints 😍
I just got a 8x10 gel plate today (already had a 5x7) and I'm so excited to have double the area to play! This is so inspiring thanks for posting.
You are going to have so much fun with multiple plates 😍
Whoa! Beautiful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🎨
Thank you, Danielle! 🥰
Super. Love the iron oxide prints the most.
Thank you, April. I really loved the contrast of the iron oxide against the creamy titan buff, and gritty graphite powder. I could make prints like that all day long. 😍
Jackie … how fun!! I think the pink was probably my least favorite (but I’m not a pink person). The whole process was wonderful … and I love how you taped things down! It is such a joy to watch you … thank you so much!!
Marie, I agree - the pink were my least favorite, but I would have been able to create the others without it. That's what I love most about gel printing - it's so exciting when you pull a print and discover something so unexpected. 🥰
Hi Jackie … it’s actually sue … the one you were so wonderful to with your helpful encouraging comments! I will keep watching and keep playing … you have helped me so much and I am very grateful!
Jackie, I didn’t think it possible to have a favourite pull after watching all your videos but I do now 😍 The buff titanium with the hint of graphite are absolutely gorgeous 😍 I mean, each pull on this video are beautiful but the subtlety of the BT are stunning and most definitely frame worthy as they are.
Quick question, does the grip mesh for the gel plates leave an imprint on the base of the plate? Do you use just one side of your gel plate?
I’ve also been gifted some craft crepe paper and wondered if you have used this at all in your art?
Sorry to bombard you with so many questions but you are truly inspiring and love your channel 😍🤗😍🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Andrea, and I love seeing you here each week! To answer about the grip mesh - it does not leave an imprint. It's quite soft and I only keep the plate on it while I'm using it. I do use both sides of my plates😀. You know, I never have worked with crepe paper - if you use it, please tell me what you think. 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio thank you Jackie 🙏🏻 I shall let you know about crepe paper if I get to incorporate it. Have a wonderful week 🙏🏻🤗🙏🏻😘
Your work is magic❤
Thank you, Barbara - great to see you! 🥰
Merci infiniment 🙏😊
Vous êtes les bienvenus! 🥰
Another fun day with gel plates. I love numbers, too, and am going out to our barn for an old license plate! BTW, I read on the gel arts directions on my 6” plate and it says not to lay the plate on a textured surface because it will pick up the texture and keep it permanently. And now I need to order graphite powder… or scrape the lead off a pencil.
Jo - my heart fluttered when I read "old license plate." That is going to be so fun to print with, and wait until you start using graphite powder 😍. Yes, best practice is to not lay a gel plate on a textured surface, but I have never had that problem using the soft mesh liner. It could be because I don't leave it on the mesh when I'm done. Thank you very much for watching 🥰
Oooo I just can't buy another art accessory, so s raping the lead of a pencil is a fab idea! I'm gonna try it tomorrow back at my table!
I don't see a link to the silicone numbers... is it an ice cube tray?. Thanks for being so light-hearted about painting... it makes it less threatening!
Hi Sara - I just added the number molds to the top of the supply list 🙌🏼 I hope you have fun using them 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio thank you!
Hello, great work - may I asking what kind of paper do you use for this work ?
And what’s the name of the round object you using to pull the paper smooth over the gel press? Thank you for you answer 😊🙏
Hi Ole - thank you so much for watching. The round object is called a "barren," and it's wonderful in helping the paper make really good contact with the paper. The paper I am using is Rice Paper (Hosho), teabag paper, and medical exam paper (the kind a doctor would put on the exam table.) I hope this helps. 🥰
Love your excitement when you pull your prints…. You are always so inspiring. Thank you.
Thank you, Cat, I appreciate you! 🥰
Love this❤ tell me. Are smaller gel plates better to use? I’m thinking of getting a larger one, 12 x 14 in order to cover more space. Less work. But are my thoughts going to cause more problems? Please advise us! Thank you❤
Hi Patty - this is such a great question - I might have to create a video about it 😍 If you have never used a gel plate I would recommend starting with a mid-sized gel plate. Large gel plates and small gel plates have their challenges. Learning how to use a gel (or get the best from it) has its challenges, too. My very first gel plate was 8x10. I used it exclusively for about 6 months and fell more in love with (and learned so much about the process) that I decided it was time for me to start creating larger - so I got the 16x20 plate. 😂😂😂 Boy, was THAT a learning curve. So was the 6x6 plate - the first time I used the baby plate, it flew across the room when I pulled my first print. All of this is to say that each size has it's challenges and rewards. The best plate size for you will depend on how much space you have (for the plate and your prints), and how much patience you'll have with yourself. I hope this helps, and be sure to let me know what size you decide on. 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate all that you related to me. Given that I don't have much space perhaps I should start small. Like 5 x7. Thank you for mentioning the size issue. It made up my mind for me! Thanks again!
I’m a newbie here. What will you do with these papers!
Hi Jan, I'm so happy you're here! I'm not sure yet with these exact papers, but I put together a playlist of videos I made where I use a lot of the painted papers I make. Here's the link 🥰 th-cam.com/video/ol6OC-c6RU4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Kt3-QdH_6hi4v8su
I am trying to find the medical exam paper you are recommending, I am in England and when I copy and past your link into Uk Amazon I seem to get what appears to be two ply soft paper which I don’t think would stand up to pulling ink off a gel plate. Is there another name for this paper you are using?
Hi Nicola - yes, the paper in the UK is often listed as "couch hygiene paper." If you can find that says "crepe" in the listing, that is the type that I am most impressed with. I hope this helps. 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio thank you, however the only listing for this in UK appears to be on Amazon and is only available as a 12 pack for £162 so as an experiment I’m not likely to getting that any time soon. I did find a single roll available in Europe for only €6 but they wouldn’t ship to the UK
I don’t see a link for the silicone numbers. Please share. Thanks
Yikes - thank you for letting me know Deborah! It is in the description now. 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio thanks! I like to add lg symbols too…however, I would like them random, not in order. Another challenge.
Hi Jacki what paper are you using please ? Xxx🎉🎉🎉
Hi Jane! The papers used were rice paper, medical exam table paper and teabag paper. The exact ones I used are listed in the description below the video. 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio thank you so much Jacki …I love your style and your crazy awesome energy is felt by a mile! Xxx
@@JaneNatoli1 Thank you, Jane! 🥰
Could you give us a supplier for graphite powder?
Oh goodness Valerie, I am so sorry - I'm linking here and in the description now (thank you for letting me know it was missing). 🥰 Graphite Powder - amzn.to/3SRUQrM
19:42 WHERE IS HOBBY LOBBY?
Hi Julie - I'm not sure where you are. I don't have any hobby lobby's near me. At minute 19:42 the video is over. Was there an advertisement for Hobby Lobby at the end? 🥰
