Greetings from your student from Nashville, Tennessee. You know the one, the one that you’ve been the therapist to? I decided to go through the rabbit hole and do the deep dive into your channel and go back to the beginning. I can see how much you have grown and progressed through your videos. Your first few were not as much as the “you“ I have grown to “known“ and adored. I can see you blossoming through this process of your channel. And it is excruciatingly lovely. I love seeing you coming to your own. And, of course, I adore your tutelage as well as your process.

Peace and grace from your biggest fan in Tennessee.

You have inspired me to get a Gelli plate!

If paper has turned yellow it’s a wood pulp paper that has turned yellow from the lignin in it. Just because a paper is a watercolour paper, or even acid-free, doesn’t mean it doesn’t contain lignin. Look for cotton rag paper, or rice paper, or any paper with no wood in it for longevity. Lignin in any art supply will cause it to break down, turn brittle, etc, over time. This is an aspect of conservation.
I love your videos, thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it's the best one I have seen, you make it easy for people who haven't even opened their gelli plate package yet. 🙋🏼‍♀️ I'm going to get started now, thank you for putting me at ease!

I have watched a ton of gelli prints videos and this is one of the best because you explained what you were doing as you proceeded...so many of the other gelli print videos are just speeded up so darn fast.. THANK YOU.

OMG. I’ve never looked at gelli printing before. What a mistake. I am in love. Thank you for this inspiration.

It DOES matter which plate you buy. It’s best to use a name brand — Speedball, Gelli Arts, Gel Press. I know some European artists who bought cheap off brand ones to save a few $$. The plates pretty much disintegrated in about a week. Same with brayers since some work better than others. I used a Ranger brayer for a year and couldn’t work out why the paint didn’t adhere well. Signed up for one of Julie Fei-Fan Balzer’s gel print courses and took her advice about replacing it with a Speedball soft rubber brayer. Magic! My prints improved dramatically right away.

Ha!! Yeah— there’s homemade gelli plate recipes out there—BUT here’s the thing: the ingredients to make it— cost MORE than just buying the plate 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m with her here— just buy the real thing and dive in 🤗

And, BONUS: the homemade ones—-mold 🤢

If you’ve not bought one yet— buy a 12x12 — ONE plate that can do all sizes vs a small one that only does small prints. Less to store, more cost effective than buying several 🤓😎
