Amazing MONOPRINTING session! 🤩 | Gelli plate PHOTO TRANSFER technique

This was definitely an amazing monoprinting session! In this videos I am going to show you how I used my Gelli plate photo transfer technique to gelli print beautiful monoprints which I actually printed them from my own photos. And I would like to invite you to join me in my studio here in Los Angeles. I am going to use a gel plate to monoprint these photos. I don’t really have a goal in mind, just to play around with my paints and make something colorful. The only theme I have in mind is to use photos I took in New York.
And you don’t need to do anything, I am going to do all the work so you can just sit back and enjoy the process. I hope its going to be as much fun watching as it was making these monoprints.

Let me know which one is your favorite monoprint 🥰

[@joannemeganrostron-smith826]

I loved all of ur mono printing 😲😄

[@argosz8046]

How lovely to meet you, Nitsa! Over my lifetime I have done various craft activities, but due to ill health, had to stop. I love Art of all kinds, but never felt I had the ability to create anything truly "artistic". At the age of 64 years old, with improved health, I discovered Card-Making (September 2020!). Having recently learnt to use a gel plate, and with a rising interest in art per say once again, I saw a video on Botanical Mono Printing. A few days later, while researching local community art activities, I saw one of your mono print videos!!! I am hooked, and my first project will be a series of collage mono prints for each of my grandchildren's birthdays. I am SOOO excited to follow your work!!!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

What a wonderful idea Argos! I'm sure they will love your monoprints! I know a lot of people using gel plates for printing cards which is great, in fact I'm actually working on a video monoprinting and making cards in different ways. Thank you for sharing your story 🥰

[@joannemeganrostron-smith826]

Wow, soo Cool! I just bought a little gelli plate and it's amazing 😍 I love ur works, especially this mono printing u did here 😎👍 I love art Thankyou for posting things online! Take care ✌️

Just discovered your channel. I'm so excited about the way you combine your own photos with mixed media!!! I love it. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I intend to watch every one of your videos. Have you done a video about how you have made your own stamps? They look very cool.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Wonderful! Thank you 🥰 I haven't made a video about my homemade stamps but I'm planning to add a segment at the end of each video showing tips to save money on art supplies. So one of them will be about making homemade stamps 👍

[@RA-sv8lr]

Just found your channel and I LOVE these! I want to try some for my own home town. Did you print your photos onto ordinary copier paper to transfer or did you use photo paper? Thanks 🙂

[@missdeesaccount]

I bought your book and can you tell me how many layers of laser printer toner should be on the paper for it to work for image transfers on the gel plate? Thanks for your wonderful videos!! Take care!

[@cindycreateforlife]

My favourite is my favourite as well! Wonderful tutorial, I have not been successful in transferring images yet but I haven’t tried laser copied pictures yet, just magazine images!💕🇨🇦

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Wonderful! I hope you give it a try. Thank you Cindy 💛

[@s.m.4948]

I read that copying the images onto glossy card stock helps them transfer.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Actually glossy paper can damage the gel plate and should be avoided.

[@vidayamini357]

Love them all. You make it look easy and beautiful. I made my Gelli Plate the other day and tried one of my photos that I had printed in black and white. I used Amsterdam black, but it didn't work! I wonder what I did wrong!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

It's hard to tell without seeing all the steps in your process but try changing things around in your process until you get it to work 👍

Hi Nitsa, thanks for your videos. Please, I need your help. I'm going to take pictures with the laser printer but every time I want to transfer the photo to the gel plate I don't see anything on the plate. I tried to put more paint or less I also tried to put more pressure or less pressure. What can I do? I’m so sad..

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

I would like to encourage you to continue and try because it takes some practice to get this process to work 🌻🌹🧡💙

[@ubiglug]

Are the stencils ones you made? I’m interested in the text stencils

[@Spellbound987]

I meant to add in my response below, the favourite you chose at the end was in fact my favourite too! Mind you i practically loved each one for their own merit. I cant be choosy. Lol.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Thank you! You have great taste 😂🧡🌹🤗

[@Spellbound987]

Lmfao! Thanks, yes we do dont we!!! Lmfao!

[@four3zero430]

Can you print pictures onto regular printer paper and transfer it or do the pictures have to be printed on special/different paper?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

I use standard printer paper, just make sure you are using a laser printer 👍

[@alisonbamford6723]

Can I ask please how the photos were originally printed? Using a laser or inkjet? Photo paper, normal printer paper or thin card?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Laser printer on standard copy (printer) paper 👍

[@ponygecko]

Nitsa are the photos printed on a laser printer on photo paper or are they laser prints of photos in black and white? TIA

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

The photos are printed with a laser printer on standard printer paper 👍

[@Mongo-ui1ll]

My inkjet picture would not transfer to my new gel plate, what did i do wrong? I followed your instructions.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Kimmie, this particular process works with a laser printer 👍

[@bunnyberry5651]

Are the photo prints on semi-gloss or gloss paper? My black and white prints are not transferring to the gel plate. Thank you!! Love love love your book!

The photos are printed with a laser printer (or toner-based photocopy) on standard printer paper 👍 Thank you Bunny Berry 🤗🧡🌼

@@NitsaCreativeStudio I must be using too much paint. I’ll keep trying! I did transfers using your gel medium technique and they turned out FANTASTIC! Thank you. I’ll have to sign up for your Gel Plate class!

[@tayyabafaisal9064]

Hello Nitsa, how u clean gell plate after each time u print.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

I use different methods. Sometimes I just spray water and wipe away. Sometimes I clean by lifting all the paint with white paint or matte medium.

[@denisecook5728]

So beautiful, I have not had luck..maybe the magazines are too old?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Hi Denise, the photos I am transferring are my own photos printed with a laser printer so they are not images from magazine. I hope this helps 🌼

[@mariaetheridge8343]

Would you mind answering a question, please? How were the photographs printed? Printer - what kind of ink? What kind of paper? Thank you.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

I printed my photos using a laser printer on standard printer paper. check out below the video, there are links to my printer and even the paper.

[@Spellbound987]

That was fantastic and the pages you gelled up were wonderful even before adding your photos which were wonderful aswell. My goodness, you have really sparked my interest, such an inspiration, thank you so much. XTIBBYX

I don't see a link for the rubber stamps you used, could you share please?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Hi Dale, the stamps are homemade 😀

[@monicaingram2970]

Do all the prints need to be black and white?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

You can use color laser prints, but it's easier to control the contrast with black & white print 👍

[@JanisGagliardi]

I had prints made on a laser printer and they don’t transfer?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Hi Janis, check out this video tutorial I've made recently: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ7HkHyibLuIhdU I hope it helps 🙏🏼

[@vonaldautterback8831]

Hi Nitsa! I always love your work! I am wondering what type of paper you use to pull the print and how do you finish the print for sale or display? Frame it behind glass, glue it to a board or?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Thank you Vonalda! 💚 I use many different type of papers, I think my favorite to use is 65lb sketch paper with some fine texture. often I print directly into my journal or sketchbook so this solves the problem of display. I also like to mount loose prints on hardboard and recently Im learning how to bind my prints into a homemade book.

[@ethicsexistentialism4191]

I've tried EVERYTHING to get my laser copies to transfer to the gel plate... The paint just sticks to the printed picture 😢
