[@thegypsy1968]

Bravo!!!!! love everything about this technique!!! thank you Jackie for sharing with us!

[@valerieoberleexec-artist]

You are so talented! I also love your calm voice♥️♥️♥️

[@MythicGirl2210]

So I wasn't _looking_ for this video (because I don't make prints), but it's actually the video I _needed._ XD Thanks!

[@annefrazer815]

Because of your tutorials, my gel plate art has risen to a new level. Thank you.

[@creationsbyjsheri]

Thank you, Ann! I’m so glad my videos have been helpful. ❤️

[@sherrydee]

You are my favourite gel printing artist! Love every one of your design and colour choices and you have a great teaching style.

[@creationsbyjsheri]

Awww, thanks Sherry! 🥰

[@DistractedDaisy]

Yes she is one of the best. Need more videos from Jackie.

[@k8marlowe]

Same here!

[@carolynchatham6376]

Possibly the BEST Gelli print technique I have had the privilege to see You are an exceptional artist.

[@CRSDelta]

Wow! I wish I could like this multiple times. You are a true artist!

[@janetgoldstein7597]

I love the greyed down colours that you are using. Very sophisticated

[@robinalcorn5140]

Thank you for so clearly explaining the finer points such as the when to use more paint and how the weight of the paper makes a difference. I've experienced these things but had never put it all together the way you have. Now I can make more deliberate choices. Outstanding video!!!!

[@chickeemama1]

Great tutorial , I have never seen any gel prints like that, and you made me smile every time you put another layer of paint because you have so many different brands... nothing wrong with that!

[@anastasiarose9003]

I have seen many artists use layers on gel plates, but none an outcome like yours. I am subscribing to your videos and look forward to learning a lot. Thank you.

[@dawnesmith-sliming7004]

What a great tip to use heavier paper. These prints are great but I love the third one with all the numbers in the background.

[@creationsbyjsheri]

Thanks, Dawne. The third one is my fav too. 😊

[@135talmont]

Thank you for explaining the use of different weight papers to achieve the results of each layer. I’m excited to try this! You are very talented!

[@beechtreedesigns]

I love the way you describe why you do things a certain way. Thank you for sharing your technique.

[@creationsbyjsheri]

Thank you!

[@AuntieEm30805]

The background of the second print looks like wood grain! Love it.

[@arteriasartsinteriordecor4872]

You do this quite differently than most others. More what I have been looking to do, as the process is very messy with most others, and your method seems very clean, so you can have that see through quality. Thanks! Looking forward to more in the future, love the mellow jazz in the background. 🙃

[@carmencitahill4707]

Your work truly speaks to me!❤️ This technique is spectacular. I have never seen gel prints with so much depth! Thank you for sharing your creative soul.❤️❤️❤️

Your technique is really fun and well described! It's super helpful since I haven't deeply explored layered prints, and I REALLY like the "glass like" effect you talked about. Thank you!

[@annaleehowell4792]

Just AWESOME printing! Love it! ~Ana xo

[@delesprie86]

I love your work. I think you are amazingly thorough. I really appreciate your voice because it’s calm and peaceful and very pleasing to listen to. It’s a rarity on KZbins. I do not use tv so I’ve watched hundreds upon hundreds of Tubes. Yours are outstanding!!!
