I ordered a smaller size gelli plate but got sent a big 12x14 by mistake for the same price. So I've cut mine up and have different sizes. Brilliant idea printing on fabric, wonderful patterns!

Half of the first print you did looks like a wonky bookshelf with lots of books on it, very cool!

Love your demo! I’m going to have to try this!❤

Freaking AMAZING. I was on the fence as to whether to get this huge Gelli Plate, you’ve definitely convinced me….OMG, the possibilities are ENDLESS. Thank you for sharing.

I just treated myself to this plate it arrived yesterday. So excited to use it today. Ty for your timely inspiration ! Happy creating to us both😉

Very nice informative video. I love interesting fabric designs to work with. Thank you

[catherinegoldie]

You are an amazing artist love this.x💕

[caroleseubert]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This demo is perfect for me as it shows me how to achieve exactly what I want to do with momo printing- creating fabrics for quilting and/or bag making! Your demo was clear and concise and totally inspirational as I now know that what I’m imagining in my head is absolutely possible to create. BTW...you pulls of the almost calligraphic swirls reminds me of the work of artists Nancy Crow and Mark Tobey. Well done!

Thanks! This is inspiring me to try fabric on my plate ☺️ great demo!

I’m a longarmer and find this concept fascinating. I need to do some training on paper first, maybe, but using the small gelli shapes to make prints on low volume fabric could be lots of fun even without the mondo-plate. Thanks!

Tell Gelli to make that plate available to the public, please!!!

Very cool prints! I want the large plate for printing on bandannas, but don't have a table that's big enough. New table first, then large plate, then off the races.

I love this!!! I have several t-shirts that have small stains on them and I'd love to try it with that. Will this work with t-shirt material? If so, it would be a great way to recycle favorite old clothes.

This definitely has made me want to have a go. But gelli plates are expensive! I've found some videos about how to make your own but I need one that's not only cheap but also as big as possible. Has anyone tried making one with white neoprene fabric, perhaps covered with acrylic sheet of even clingfilm?

I got beading again on my plate after i cleaned it with mineral oil. must not have cleaned all the oil off. worth a try to experiment with. i made some cool prints with it when that happened.

[sarahjbayly]

Love the beading effect. Have you looked into dendritic printing. It's not the same, and I'm not sure if you can do it on a gelliplate, but gives beautiful organic prints!

[sagepreaumx]

These are absolutely fabulous prints!
I want to print on huge pieces of fabric to make garments out of. Is it possible to repeat a pattern over and over? Would it be better to print after the garment is sewn, while the fabric is still whole, or after the pieces are cut out but before sewn?

[judyhoomalamalama]

does the paint need to be fixed with vinegar in order not to bleed through? It is beautiful. Just getting started with this

[melanieliston]

Do these gel plates come in different sizes? Would be nice becuz I make a lot of skirts.

[sherryleggett]

It would be so much easier to see what is happening if there was a white surface under your plate.
