[@CissyPantsCrafts]

That tutorial was extremely helpful especially for beginners like me.

[@9liveslisa]

Great video! Thanks for inspiring all of us!

[@oneprincesslife]

Excellent ideas. You are very creative and talented. And for the people being rude complaining about stupid stuff like dirty fingers, bad music choice, and too fast. First of all its crafting ya get dirty, second there is a mute button and surprisingly you all do have volume buttons on your phones, tablets and computers that you can use and lastly the video is self explanatory it doesn't need dialog or slowed down. No one needs to see every little detail of each step to know whats going on in a video, if you need that much direction from someone else then you are not using your own creativity

[@giogiocraft]

Eheh, thank you for this comment...I totally agree with you!😉

[@harjith.d.bubber]

You are so good 😊! A wonderful informative video. Thanks for sharing

Love this! I'm new to gesso, learned so much. Thanks

[@cherylalikhani5957]

Great ideas. I have one extra. You can use gesso on surfaces like cardboard, canvas panel, etc then decorate and let dry completely to create homemade texture plates.

[@yklenner]

Thanks for this, very interesting

[@cheryls_creative7048]

Really useful! Especially the fabric one! That insert you’ve made is stunning!

[@kandieskrafts2963]

Wow these tips are amazing! I really wish people would keep their negative comments to themselves, I'm sure alot of work went into making that video. TUFS ☺😗😙😚😍

[@jamiemueller1881]

Couldn't agree more. What the heck is wrong with people? So a creative person goes to the trouble to share some pretty ingenious tips and tricks (and she clearly has mad skills) and some have to nitpick and criticize? If you don't like the tip, don't use it, but don't criticize the person sharing. Thanks for saying what I was thinking!

[@justinakavanagh3058]

TFS. Some wonderful ideas I haven't seen before.

[@Is43109]

If I wasn't worn out from soap making I'd be getting out the gesso this minute! Will definitely try soon.

[@susandobson1588]

Brilliant!!!

[@corinneRollet]

A super video my dear Gio!!! Thank you... I'm going to look at the second part now, well deserved looking at it entirely even if I know most of the ways, your video is a fabulous (and beautiful!) summary

[@laurieshulman8468]

Great video, had me watching without feeling bored once! Great ideas and thanks for sharing!!

[@diannecahill457]

This is a great video. We sometimes forget how versatile and handy gesso is

[@corinneRollet]

Sorry, of course only one video, 10 ways is already A LOT! :))) Thank you again Gio, this one is excellent!!!

[@giogiocraft]

Ehhe, thanks for watching , dear Coco. I just split the blog posts in two due to the large amount of photos, you are not the first person who thinks there were two videos. Let's say making this one took enough time ;-)

[@prisillaspace]

Thank you!! I really love all the techniques you are doing. Great work!! :)

[@Rita-nj3qo]

Super Arbeit 👍🎨🤝🤔 leider kann ich keine englisch, doch du zeigst es ja auch so sehr anschaulich

[@jamiemueller1881]

Incredible; have never bought it or used it but you convinced me! Gesso companies should pay you, as I'm sure many will now be inspired to use it. Yours looks thick. What kind do you recommend? Thanks for a truly inspiring video!

[@giogiocraft]

Hello Jamie and thank you! My favourite brand of gesso are DecoArt, Pebeo and Liquitex. Over the years I tried several of them :-)

[@sholiCrafts]

TFS really enjoyed

[@Barbara_M.]

hello, thank you for your videos, very fascinating. I am an absolute beginner and if possible I would like to know what do you use to clean your stencils of the gesso. thanks!

[@giogiocraft]

Water and an old tootbrush. Please consider to stop whatever you re doing and wash your stencils straight away, always!if you are in a hurry you can use baby wipes( but these are not environmentally friends). Hope It helps😊

[@Barbara_M.]

@@giogiocraft thank you I will do so! 🙂

[@makeupmagician]

thanks for tips...useful :)

[@DragunSlayor]

What great ideas! Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to try using gesso on regular fabric. I had only ever seen it used on a canvas before. Love the image transfer idea- I always forget you can use gesso for that! Subscribing so I don't miss anything.

[@jackiepneal223]

Excellent video!

[@cindyspearman]

Great ideas!!!I would like to do a leaf transfer on top of my acrylic pour painting. I have only used gesso to prime my canvas. Could I use acrylic paint or acrylic ink mixed with gesso and put right onto the leaf and then press it on my canvas...would this work?

[@giogiocraft]

I really don't know, sorry. Maybe It could work if you paint with white gesso over the top of your pouring, just the shape of your leave, and than try to do the transfer. Make some experiments, before!😊

[@norma9548]

Wow, this is amazing. I love it!!!

[@sweetpeascraftingintheburb4462]

Hi there can you use gesso on chipboard shape as leaving a pattern also the same with decorative dies , I'm very confused, want to have a leaf pattern but they don't make the one I'm after anymore n I found both similar in chipboard n decorative die thank you, wanting the thickness of gesso once the stencil has dried, n using chipboard cut outs I thought be ok, not sure bout the decorative die

[@giogiocraft]

Yes, you can use them. Die cut several of them and glue together so you have the thickness you needed. Hope It helps😊

[@sweetpeascraftingintheburb4462]

@@giogiocraft omg thank you so much , I honestly didn't expect an answer , n I hadn't thought of using that way , you are brilliant thank you xxxxxxx

[@ClareCreationsAL]

Thank you so much for sharing these great ideas! Can you make handmade gesso like you did the embossing paste?

[@giogiocraft]

Hello Leslie! A cheap way to make your own gesso is starting from gesso powder...it costs a couple of buck for 1 kg, you can find it in the hardware store.

[@ClareCreationsAL]

Thank you so much!

Uuuuugh.great video……noise ( music) 😏

[@ronwillcox8735]

please please hold the items up to the camera much longer as you are on fast play and I have to keep stop start the vid to see lables etc.....great vids though keep it up

[@giogiocraft]

Thank you Ron. These kind of videos are so long, sorry for being so fast. I try to follow your advice 😊

[@owlfethurz8377]

I originally had same question, thanks for asking. Really nice artwork. Also, for viewers. to slow down a video, click the Settings (white "gear/wheel" at the bottom on the right side of the screen) and you can choose a slower or faster setting to watch the video.

[@sierrafrancesca]

This was incredible and so helpful. Thank you! I have a question: what is the wax-like paper you smeared & dabbed the distress oxide onto? Afterwards i believed you sprayed water onto it as well

[@sierrafrancesca]

@ 1:30 in the video!

[@sierrafrancesca]

Also what type of brush do you recommend to use with geso applications? And does geso stain clothes?

[@giogiocraft]

@@sierrafrancesca Hello Sierra thank you so much for your comment. Sorry I didn't add more subtitles, it is not clear at all: I swished Distress Oxide on a plastic sleeve, any plastic bag is good for this. For gesso I used cheap paintbrushes, because unfortunately gesso spoil brushes, wash always them straight away. And yes gesso stain clothes , like white acrylic paint, please wear always something to protect your clothes. Hope I helped a bit :-)

[@heatherbanks9086]

Avery good demo ... You need a larger brush 😀
