Best Gelli print video yet. I'm inspired. Am going to use my Gel Press Plate tomorrow.

[@VikkiReed]

Yay! Thanks so much, I excited you are inspired...playing with other gelli print projects now!

[@albertgriffin7901]

@@VikkiReed can I buy larger geli plates anywhere?

[@VikkiReed]

@@albertgriffin7901 Yes, absolutely! Here's a link to Joggles to purchase a 12" X 14" Gel Press Plate www.joggles.com/art-journals-and-mixed-media/gel-press-plates/gel-press-reusable-print-plate-12-inch-x-14-inch.htm and Amazon has it as well, but at a slightly higher cost, a.co/d/7zRJ9vf of course, you will not pay shipping. I struggle with the larger plates, but I've seen others do amazing things with them, have fun!

I haven’t used my gel press yet, I’m scouring KZbin to find out all the different techniques. I love the idea of using eucalyptus leaves. I live on 10.5 acres of bushland with hundreds of eucalypts. I’ll never run out of leaves, that’s for sure. I have so many stamps and texture plates, I am going to have a ball. Thank you for sharing 🫶🦘🇦🇺

[@VikkiReed]

Oh, you are SET! It's so fun to use what you can find for unique and beautiful prints, I hope you have a ball! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@chuckkolb1270]

The color combinations, the lipstick holder, the leaves were indeed a WHOA moment. I think I could have watched for an hour.

[@VikkiReed]

Thanks Chuck! Unlimited potential with the gelli plate! More to come...

[@Bella-d1v9y]

The simplicity of your work just pops with the colors you choose. Just proves the magic is in the artistry and not in the tools themselves. Thanks for the videos.

Thank you for this beautiful compliment, you've made my day!

It is my pleasure, thanks for watching and commenting!

[@terahstearns474]

When using any stamping tool, consider stamping on gel plate, then stamp off on clean sheet of paper. Then stamp on gel plate again. You’ll get a cleaner stamp image and less color mixing. Also consider stamping off on another gel plate to create another image to pull later. I also keep a folded baby wipe close by to clean my stamping tools. Acrylic will wipe off if cleaned shortly after use, leaving a crisp stamp image for ur next printing session. Great work!

[@VikkiReed]

Great tips! Thank you Terah!
