You are so creative and your compositions are always amazing and well balanced. Thanj you do much for inspiring me. You have no idea the joy your art can bring in a day. 😊
O man, the best gelli plate tutorials and other printing ideas i have seen on youtube. I found your channel only today and i cannot stop watching. For hours now. This really will help me to make further steps into printing at home. Thanks a lot !!!
My favourite gelli print tutorial on TH-cam by far❤️ I’m surprised you don’t have a bigger following. I’ve subscribed and love all your work and techniques🥰. Will have to try them out …. Many Thanks … you are very talented 🤩
Wow! What a comment! I'm really new to making and posting on TH-cam and am just getting a feel for what works. Your feedback is lovely and very encouraging - so glad you're inspired! Stay in touch and let me know how the techniques work for you. : )
I have been printmaking for about 10 years now…mostly woodcut…love your work and am so excited to try this. Gonna grab some old plates that have been hanging around and give it a go…mind just went to the childhood practice of using this technique on leaves…grasses…what about textures in fabric/rugs. Getting a bad case of the “what if’s” - thank you for that…keeps my heart beating. Smile. I will send this video on to my printmaking buddies.
The toad, found one just like it hanging out in my flowers under the garden hose the other day. Had to watch the video to see what you did with the toad. Inspired. Please keep making and posting.
Hello Sunshine Bee, finding a toad under a hose, I reckon, must be the making of a day. I have been checking in with the baby frogs in our pond, no toads yet but we do have newts. I will keep making and posting - the videos, it turns out, are really rewarding. A lot of people are now commenting and letting me know they're useful : ) Have a lovely day
This is just ingenious! Your adventures with the Gelli Plate are very inspiring, and much more artful than what many people do with it. Thanks for the creative jump-start!
Cheers Janet, glad you're enjying my adventures. been really enjoying adapting the gel plate to my existing loves. Glad to have given you a jump start : )
Holy Moly! This is by far the most creative, interesting, astonishing gel print video I ever saw! And I have watched tons of them. Thanks for sharing your clever and original ideas!
Yes : back to primary school. I did it to have some coins in my pocket when I was a kid. This video is cool to me cause I did recently many linocut to print. I will change my way to print and i will also explore thé gelly plate and this technique. Thanks a lot for sharing. All your vidéos are delightful. 😊
You really sparked my Gelli frenzy again. I was looking for a way to transfer drawings other then with laserprints and your tutorials and experiments are amazing. And so much fun! I even bought some small Gelli's...:) So thank you so much for sharing. Always a pleasure to see what you have thought of next.
Me he vuelto fan de tu canal hace poco. Acabo de conseguir material para hacer mi tapete de gel y ya quiero empezar a practicar. Saludos desde México. 😊👍🏻🇲🇽
I’ve only just recently discovered your gelli printing posts . 💯💯💯❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💓 I’m new to gelli printing and you make me want to get out all my supplies and experiment with you. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share.
Forgot to add CHEERS !!!!! for the speculation about wax crayon as it was your comment that planted the seed for developing this idea and video!!!! This TH-cam community stuff is fruitful!!!
I appreciate that you use found objects and don’t just buy a lot of fancy equipment to do these techniques. Prompts more creativity. Now I’m looking around my house thinking about what I can try with my gelli plate!
Hi Heather, I'm much happier making my own or finding my own stuff to print with. I feel more creativity, ownership and the results are more spontaneous and surprising. It's also a lot cheaper!!!
I love your sense of adventure and experimentation with the Gelliplate! You have inspired me to try your creative ways of approaching this printing technique. Thank you for your kind generosity of sharing your creative brilliance with the rest of us!
All this work you have done and shared is super helpful! Thank you so much for creating this library of geli plate printing. Someone on Fb posted your channel and I am learning from you. Just got mine after watching what you can do. Already I am having a good experience combining media. You are much appreciated!
Super glad I have found you on here, you're absolutely brilliant. I have lots of catching up to do, watching all your videos!!! Thank you So much. Have a great Christmas. xx
That's grand!! I could spend hours messing with this technique. If you seen some of my recent videos I've been doing a lot of wax crayon rubbings from anything i can find out and about! They transfer beautiful and add a lot of texture and atmosphere!
Another inspirational video! Now I'm going to have to do some lino-cuts! lol Even just finding things with cool texture for background rubbings...so much potential! Thank you for opening up the creative ideas using geli plates! Pablo Picasso is one of my inspirations and he was known for his experimentation and playfulness in art! You have reminded me of that!
Sure you won't regret it - if you've done printmaking before it will feel really familiar but new at the same time! If you haven't then you have a world of discovery!!! Best of luck : )
Thanks for all the info. I have only just started using a gelli plate and you have given me plenty of projects to think about. I really look forward to your next videos!❤
I just found you today and I am blown away!! Your techniques for the gel plate are so unique. I can’t wait to try some of these ideas. Thank you so much!!!
Wow what a great idea. I love this. So many possibilities. Thank you for sharing. Just found your channel and I’m glad I did. Great job. GOD bless you my dear👍❤️
Your gelli plate enjoyment and exploration are adding to my enjoyment and exploration, as I'd been wondering how to push its creative possibilities. I'm enjoying your techniques, and also your gentle and humble ways of presenting them. It's a pleasure to 'meet' you and your work. Sending you all my very best wishes.
Just discovered your channel- thanks for a great video & warm, friendly teaching style I have a box of 40 Neocolor 1 bought on a whim & now have a use for them. Cheers from a London, UK Gelliplate addict!
@@yeatesmakes Glad to hear it! Also love Neo colour 11- great alternative to watercolour paints and Caran D’ache is such fantastic quality. Looking forward to more gel press videos. Great stuff! Thanks again
So cool, I had not thought to use a rubbing from Lino cuts. Would a rubber stamp work as well? I will give it a go tomorrow and experiment to see. Thanks for sharing all your experiments. Such great ideas. Love all your techniques in one print.
Hi there, I tried that a few weeks ago but it got a bit messy, but i was using tiny linocut stamps. Maybe if I used an old cut that covered the full Gelli...
You are a genius, indeed a very generous one! Thank you so much for all your videos...!!!!
A pleasure to share, keeps me busy and discovering : )
im sitting by myself and still audibly going, "THIS IS SO COOL". I think I've found my favourite cure for artists' block -- watching these videos.
The best presentation I've seen. So much valuable info packed into each vid! TKU!

A virtual masterclass on printmaking and the gel plate. It’s got it ALL!
I have been printmaking for about 10 years now…mostly woodcut…love your work and am so excited to try this.

Cheers Violet - the blocks with a lot of surface and minimal carved areas see to work best. My heavily reduced blocks I've had less success with : )
I LOVE your tutorials. Always so inspiring and informative. THANK YOU BAZILLIONS!!!
Thank you for sharing . I would never have thought of using wax crayons ! Gelli printing is addictive ☺
I know what you mean, I can't believe, after years of lino printing, it wasn't the first idea that occurred to me!
That little groggy is so cute! ❤

Inspiration galore! And I love seeing the seasonal changes in your garden bower at the closing remarks. ;~)
Cheers Dawna - it's a bit grey and dismal in the garden right now!

you are my new gelli-hero !
Lol, a lot to live up to! Glad tyou're enjoying the techniques I'm sharing : )
Awesome idea!!
Wow this is going to be fun can’t wait to start rubbing. Forget the ironing!
Why can't creases be in fashion,? just for a few years! I think irons should re reserved for creased paper
This is wonderful! You are showing me a whole bunch of new ideas to use on my gelli plate. Thank you!
That's the idea!!! Glad you're enjoying the videos. I'll be posting more gel plate, amongst other printmaking, drawing, mixed media!!
Wow! Awesome technique! So fun!
Loads of fun - I've been loving doing rubbings off lettering and numbers while out and about...
Love this !
I am new to Gelli printing and found your tutorials, I am loving it! Thank you!
Welcome aboard Gelli printing Jules, glad the videos are helping : )
This is amazing! I love your frog and the colors of the finished piece. I can't wait to try something like this. Thanks so much for sharing.
Go for it, you get a lovely soft print transfer from wax crayon rubbing :)
This is actually so cool, I remember going for walks just to find rubbing templates on wooden posts, gives me year 3 vibes 😂
Lol! People are starting to notice in my area and give me weird looks!
wow this is great way to use some of my linocuts!!!
: )
Thanks for inspiring videos!! I have bought my first gelliplate and I love it. Thanks for sharing your works and techniques. Happy -happy

True Art with Geli Plates
Omg. You’ve just changed my life. Am working on a couple collagraphs at the moment and wasn’t sure how they’d work out on the gelli.
That's grand!! I could spend hours messing with this technique. If you seen some of my recent videos I've been doing a lot of wax crayon rubbings from anything i can find out and about! They transfer beautiful and add a lot of texture and atmosphere!
so fun!!!!!!!!!! thank you

Cheers Kay, just tried this technique with a masking tape collagraph and it worked well : )
Amazing! Just bought a plate. I’m excited to try. Thanks for the ideas. Love your work
Sure you won't regret it - if you've done printmaking before it will feel really familiar but new at the same time! If you haven't then you have a world of discovery!!! Best of luck : )

A pleasure to share Candi - thanks for thanks!!! : )
Fantastic. Like you I’m a printmaker come to gelli plates from linocut and all these ways of using them are fascinating.
I'm definitely new to the gel plate but enjoying adapting and exploring it to my own ends!
Your gelli plate enjoyment and exploration are adding to my enjoyment and exploration, as I'd been wondering how to push its creative possibilities. I'm enjoying your techniques, and also your gentle and humble ways of presenting them. It's a pleasure to 'meet' you and your work. Sending you all my very best wishes.

Thankyou, Kari. Really pleased you're finding my tips inspiring. Plenty more to come, all feedback welcome!!
Love it
Loved it. Thanks so much for sharing.
Cheers, I loved making this - it opened up all the ideas that have come since in my experiments!
I also love using humble materials! Great result. I am a gel plate enthusiast as well.
Cheers Carol!! Everyday materials thumbs up!
Looks absolutely brilliant.
Cheers Stephen, this technique is giving me loads of ideas!
Wonderful share
Cheers 😀
Very cool, indeed!
Of course, you could use the textured plate directly on the plate, removing paint, that would be a very different effect though!
Hi there, I tried that a few weeks ago but it got a bit messy, but i was using tiny linocut stamps. Maybe if I used an old cut that covered the full Gelli...
wow, great video and inspirational, I wonder if you will do a future video on your inks etc, thanks Mark
Hi JJG, it's only acrylic paints, nothing too fancy! I use Amsterdam, Daler Rowney Graduate and Pebeo : ) thanks for kind words
This was brilliant!! Got my ideas flowing!! How long do you leave you print with the book ontop before pulling?
Thank you for the inspiration!
A pleasure Cheryl, thanks for commenting!
