Works for me *750ml glycerine *1cup cold water *230 grams powdered gelatin *3 cups rapidly boiling water *baking tray 11"x17" approx 10cm deep * No alcohol ***** Cold water half glycerine mix, gelatin mix, boiling water mix till powder absorbed add rest of glycerine.

Love your video. when using the alcohol does it leave that nice smell when in school they handed out our papers it smelled so good.

To stop the puffy powder I cut the top off my bottle and pour or scope out the quantity. I then invest the top and tape it done like a lid to make it easier to use and keep it dry. Thanks for your recipe.😊❤

When I make mine, I cut them down centre to remove the cover and in half 2 pieces one for a spray bottle and one for a drip bottle. I have some long narrow stainless steel tweezers that I pull the fabric out with. I use silicone finger gloves and wipe my fingers and the tweezers between colours. It’s pretty clean and I don’t spill or knock the bottles over as I’ve made a holder so the bottles are more stable. This is a really fun process, and the colours are amazing. 😂

det er meget irriterene at du roder rundt med dine ting hele tiden sorry

Can I substitute corn starch for the baby powder?

When I did this it got thicker and thicker and never went clear at all and it didn't poor into the mold . It plopped ! I did try and melt it down and it was still like a sandcastle that wouldn't knock over. What did I do wrong

I want to say thank you so much for this video. You are totally awesome. I have been looking and searching for recipes on 3-D art and I am so glad that I ran into your video and very grateful for the way you explained everything especially when we have questions because to us, they’re important to get answers, and that you do! Please keep this going. You’re doing an awesome job giving us information which is so needed for us newbies that are starting to do 3-D art and I love it. Thank you so much!

Great video and I appreciate the time you took to show how to make this thick modeling gesso. I can only add that talc IS carcinogenic and there are several suits out there due to people developing ovarian cancer after years of using talc in their groin.. my younger sister was one of those who did develop fatal ovarian cancer after using talc freely for years, You can use or maybe even MUST use the baby powder that is cornstarch based. I sometimes still see the baby powder with talc in it at the Dollar Tree and I am driven to point it out. It is carcinogenic.

I know this is 5 yrs old but I have to say it came just in time for me. I am at the frustrating point in my watercolor journey that you described. I have been trying to paint roses for 2 months and I keep giving up then going back! I just purchased a couple of new flat brushes to try again... I think the flat brush fairies of fate have looked upon me! No, I haven't had wine yet... thanks again!

The ink dries on the nib, then I can’t write

Hmm, planning to make a gelli plate and comparing recipes. All a bit variable. They don't all use isopropyl alchoho and I'm wondering what is does in this recipe. Won't it evaporate off very quickly? l also saw a reference somewhere to add a bit of salt to make the plate a bit tougher. But having written all that , a good few people report your recipe and method has worked well so as soon as my ingredients arrive I'll be giving it a go. Thanks for posting.

Can l use chalked paint as Gesso?

Great idea but next time pop the talcum cover off

Can you just unscrew the lid on the powder and dump it it?

This gel plate works really well with acrylic paint. Thanks for the recipe! My distress inks and oxides don't work on this gellplate at all. The ink immediately absorbs and dries into the plate so no transfer is possible. Does anyone know why? Is it the alcohol?

Awesome..Genius Thank you

Brilliant. Thank you so much. I am no longer hopeless😁. This worked beautifully.

I'd appreciate if u would quickly say how to make it !!!

I don’t see the recipe in the description

I buy Canvas Panel unprimed. Can you use gesso, the same way on them?

You’re very intelligent and I love your videos!❤

Love you lady!

Rude people!

Me too girl 🇨🇦

Yes it is

Thank you! I dont have a printer but can draw what I want. Im going to try it for an eagle I want to turn into an Early American style plaque. Ive already got the clear plastic paper organizers like the ones you use. Perfect. I will stencil the eagle onto a board then go back and paint some details. Thank you so much! The "soddering" iron is one of those words spelled nothing like it gets pronounced. Weird huh? The L makes no sound. A lot like the word sword... the w is silent. But we totally got this. Lets make something!

Great lesson.....thank you

Amazing stencils, thank you for the inspiration :)

Thank you so much. Great tutorial

Wow, that was amazing. I’ve been wanting to try stencil but I thought it was going to be too expensive. Thanks for sharing this way to make your own.That makes it affordable. Janice

Great video. I'm looking to do a painting and am learning from videos like yours. Thank you!

Detailed and very helpful ! How long you keep gesso and how many layers are needed

Breathing in baby powder can damage your lungs.

Hey very informative But just a tip Please stick to the point.

God love you. 8 minutes to say your placement is off

Thank you Janelle, your series on gesso has been very useful for this retired teacher starting painting. Thank you from Brisbane Australia.

Can use stamp on a dried gesso

Thank you for a great video. I’ve never seen a tool like the one you used and now I can’t wait to get one!

Janelle great information and very helpful. However you might like to consider editing out all those ummms.

Wow. This was so thorough, informational, and helpfu! Thank you so much for all the work you put into doing this video and sharing w us😊😊

Super bravo ❤❤❤❤

i didn't hear her review for the marble dust version? I'm curious how it compares to the cornstarch version..

I’ve never heard of black Gesso but I’ve never used Gesso to begin with! 😁😁

I’m at the Dollar store now 15 mins before they close to get everything you shared for this recipe. Thank you! I don’t like dollar store pint either,

I've made numerous batches of alcohol ink ,Amazon sells the permanent markers in bulk, sure helps with my big projects!

I meant suncatchers ( spellcheck)!!

I've yet to figure out how to hold onto the colors after applying them to glass sunbathers. They say alcohol inks need a UV clear spray to protect from fading yet it still happens and I lose the colors😢

Sorry but it looks too muddy for my taste!

Hy didn’t you pry the top off the powder container?
