For sure I enjoyed watching this 😊 love those leaf prints at anytime. Can't say that there was a print which I don't like 😀 all are special in their own way! 🧡🧡🧡
I use fabric paints or screen printing inks rather than acrylic paints and no brayer. It's much easier to get good even coverage using sponges to apply the inks on homemade gel plates. The gel has a much spongier and more absorbent surface than the hard slick commercial silicone plates (which work better with paints and brayers). Homemade plates print fabrics waaaay better than the commercial silicone plates. The fabric surface prints better on the spongey plate rather than the hard commercial plate. You can also iron freezer paper to the back of your fabric to stiffen it so it's easier to print like paper
Lovely and so true to the art. Really like watching and your explanations too. I followed your DIY gelli plate recipe and had the same problem of colours not mixing on the plate...so I'm relieved to know it happens to you too
Glad it was helpful. I prefer to mix colors on a palette ( in this case acetate sheet) and apply with the brayer. It gives a better control and results. Home made gelli plates are a bit more absorbent than the store bought ones, so adding paint directly to the gelli results in splotches and uneven coverage 😊❤️
Beautiful! I’m struggling with my homemade gel plate. Did you condition it with mineral/baby oil before using? And am I ‘unconditioning’ it by using a Clorox wipe to clean it occasionally?
I never used baby oil to condition it. I would just pull a few plain prints first before I start the actual process. I always clean it with wet wipes when I'm done. If it's dry I spray some water and wipe.
Love the textured leaves prints congratulations My understanding, and experience, is that you have to 'prime' your gelli plate each session because it can dry out between sessions. So pulling a few background prints initially might eliminate paint splotching? Thanks for sharing & cheers from Australia 🐨 🐾
Thank you so much! Yes, I agree with you. A few prints need to be done before you start printing, especially on a homemade gel plate. It's way more absorbent than the store bought one.
I love the way the gelli plate tricks you, you can never be sure what it will do but I just love it. Thank you for your great video loved what you have created well done be careful of the naughty gell plate xx
That first one you did off-camera where you mixed the colors on the plate looks vaguely plaid to me and I think it's wonderful because of that. I love them all, even the one that was mostly black looks sort of camouflaged.
I'm glad you like them! I love the first one too. It looks almost abstract and colors are vivid. I'm contemplating cutting out the black leaves on the one that turned really dark. Perhaps place a different fabric underneath, stitch around leaves and then cut out. 🤔
Everything you touch always turn out so beautiful, seeing that you also have fails makes me less frustrated at my own attempts that don't go the way I want and makes me want to try longer when I want results. Thank you for this video!

Great tips! Thanks so much 😊
Do you iron to set the colors?

Gorgeous prints on paper and cloth. I like all of them, but especially the fall colored ones.

Hola! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment. I’m glad you enjoy my videos. 😊❤️
How do you clean your plate to put away? Also, it may look cool to use a Posco white paint pen over your dark leaves. Love seeing this process!
I clean my plate with wet wipes. White paint pen would look nice over the dark leaves. Thank you😊❤️
