Baby Powder Resist on a Gel Plate

I had no idea that using baby powder as a resist on your gel plate was even a thing! It's super fun and easy to get impressive results.
This is the video that popped up on my KZbin feed and inspired my experiments:

Super fun, Shannon! Can’t wait to give this a try! Love your prints! And…bonus…your craft room smells like a baby’s butt! 😂😂❤

[@ShannonGreen]

It’s a win-win!

[@marcil7389]

lovely! So funny--hubby just asked if we had any baby powder and I gave him the side eye.."yes, but I intend to gel print with it." He settled for the foot powder I dug out of the bathroom cabinet. I can't wait to try it out.

[@ShannonGreen]

Love that!

[@Judymontel]

I swear when you started sprinkling the baby powder I could smell it!! My brain is playing tricks on me!! Love this technique - thank you!

[@ShannonGreen]

😆😆😆 My art room still smells all fresh and clean!

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Oh how fun, thank you for showing me what I will be doing tomorrow.

[@ShannonGreen]

😆 My pleasure!

[@lalagamma4452]

WOW a fun and lovely project. It is like fire works on paper Todays Quote:“Kindness is our very own pixie fairy dust, it gives people the ability to soar and not just fly." Happy National Watercolor Month. Huge hugs. Namaste 🐞🐞🐞

[@ShannonGreen]

Fireworks! Yes!!

[@innerding]

I can tell you what that brush was for because I have one. Way back in the old days when Architects and designers had to draw by hand the brush was used to sweep off lead and eraser dust from their drawings. You’re welcome!😊

[@lizannebutner876]

thank you for explaining so I didn't have to go on my rant😂😂

[@ShannonGreen]

Oh my gosh, now I love it even more! Thanks so much for solving my mystery!

[@reeree6682]

❤❤❤❤❤Shannon ROCKS!!!

[@ShannonGreen]

Awww, thanks my friend!

[@sherrybarfield8446]

Cool! Looks like fun!

[@ShannonGreen]

It is!

[@clairek8221]

Wow! I have been ignoring KZbin this year but this video was amazing! I loved it. Now to find some baby powder and dig out the gel plate!

[@ShannonGreen]

Go for it!

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

😮😮😂 I love your prints - I did learn this a few years ago from Shel C - I think tomorrow I will be giving this a try. Thank you for the inspiration. ❤ Be well xx

[@ShannonGreen]

Have fun!

[@wmwilkinson1]

How fun and easy! Somehow I missed this technique

[@ShannonGreen]

It’s a fun one!

[@megsgonnamake]

I was wondering if you had a vid on how you store your plates? I always get bubbles storing it in the package...it is frustrating lol These are lovely prints!! Great idea!

[@ShannonGreen]

I have one plate and I store it in its original package. It does have some slight bubbles but they dont matter with the kind of prints I do.

[@jesseb5112]

I don't have baby powder, but I do have corn starch and a silcone thing that goes on the top of my cup to steep herbal tea. Needless to say, part of my table is a powdery mess! Thank you for the delightful video. I enjoyed watching and doing.

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks for watching!

[@craftingwithapurpose6479]

This reminds me of the class Sara and I took at Canvas Corp days with you. You do love your messy! Such pretty papers. Watching you play, and not having to get all painty myself, is super fun. Glad you are doing videos. Your inner child is somewhat infectious.

[@ShannonGreen]

I remember! Considering my baby powder coated art room, I’m thinking there’s some wisdom in watching someone else make the mess! 😆😆

[@rosita6124]

Love it, will try-out it for sure 😊

[@ShannonGreen]

Have fun with it!

[@diamondwife97]

I had bought a big bag of calcium carbonate powder from amazon several years ago because I was going to try recipes to make my own gesso and different types of mediums. All of them failed. Then I saw a video about using baby powder in gelli printing. I remembered I had the calcium carbonate and tried it and it worked perfectly.

[@ShannonGreen]

Brilliant!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Such fun! I want to do this technique again. ❤

[@ShannonGreen]

You should!

[@Maggiesplace48]

These painty print are fantastic Shannon, thank you so much for your lovely video and idea's...Kia Kaha Stay Strong...❤

[@ShannonGreen]

Thank you so much Maggie!

[@verafilindeng1995]

I love this! Your papers are so yummy Shannon! I have never seen this technigue, definetly going to try it as soon as my body stops being a drama gueen... Tfs!

[@ShannonGreen]

I hope your body cooperates with you soon!

[@gagaforgluing8247]

Wow your prints are amazing and gorgeous. I really need to try this now 😊

[@ShannonGreen]

It’s super fun!

[@missyb.623]

Fun stuff. Thanks ❤

[@ShannonGreen]

You bet!

[@tfntexas]

Very, very fun!❤

[@ShannonGreen]

Thank you 🤗

[@DarlaPhillips92]

This is such an awesome idea!! I’m gonna have to try this ❤

[@ShannonGreen]

You should!

[@Vonnies1929]

Wowwww!!!!😮I like that!!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks for watching!

[@teenakrause7023]

OMG 😮😮😮I LOVE THIS I have to try this Technique I love the results you get so pretty and easy.13:08 I know you must have been asked or done a video on what do you have your geli plate on ? It also looks like you outlined your Geli plate but with what please tell me or do you have a video cause if I use mine it’s so new I haven’t used it yet I know it will slide all over. Always love your videos and your giggle.

[@ShannonGreen]

My gel plate is on a piece of glass. I put decorative duct tape around the edges of the glass because the corners were pointy and I’m accident prone!

[@debbiewoten9403]

These are so pretty! I must try this. What will people think of next?!

[@ShannonGreen]

Right?! I thought it was such a clever idea!

[@beckyb4074]

Hello Shannon, this is a really interesting technique - But sadly 😞😞 I don't have a gelli plate and no intentions at this point of getting one, SO do you have any ideas or suggestions on what could be used as a replacement (diy style) for doing gelli prints?? Yes, it's our hot season now, but I figured since you were from Texas that you'd be used to the heat, LoL. I pray that y'all are doing well up there, besides the heat. Take care and God bless. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

[@swl9270]

You could try a plastic bag (trash, grocery, etc) . Tape down to a surface you don’t mind potentially getting paint and give it a try.

[@dales2944]

Silicone baking mat. Xx

[@MRVICTORCRAFTER]

Nope... Well..... THAT'S THE SAME..... Yesssss...... Words are not enough...😮😮😮😧😧😧😦😦😎💥💥💥👍👍👍

[@ShannonGreen]

🤣🤣🤣 Thank you my friend!

[@christinecrow1410]

Does it have to be cornstarch baby powder?

[@ShannonGreen]

I recommend it because it’s not safe to breathe talc.

[@kathywiseman7944]

Boing, LoL 😂❤

[@ShannonGreen]

I should have inserted a sound effect!
