I subscribed a few weeks ago when I got my first gel plate but I've never commented before. Your work IS INSPIRING! I love that you're fearless about trying things and letting us see what the outcome is even if it wasn't what you were going for. Thank you for your time and generosity. So appreciated!

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment! And for subscribing. Well I just use inexpensive paper, so no big loss if it doesn't work out. lol

[@TheScatteredCrafter]

I really enjoy the fact that you are just playing with things to see what happens. That's my favorite kind of art. 😁

[@grandmacrystal65]

I love the way you just keep going with more colour, not cleaning the plate. Some of the final pulls are just stunning!

Thank you. That's how I get the prints I like. By NOT cleaning my plate!

These are great prints! None of them were boring. I like them so much! Can’t wait to try this. And grinding the instant coffee is a great idea. Thanks, Denise, I’m so glad you took the plunge into KZbin.

My favorite one is the coffee and water! Coffee dyed paper is huge in junk journals right now and this is a less intimidating way to do it! Thanks!

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you!!!! So glad it was helpful!

[@cherylramey3948]

I love to watch all the outcomes of your work. A couple of the prints remind me of the night sky with the stars. And thank you for all the time and patients that goes into all of this. The print that you pulled using the stone increase with blue under the stencil and then used a vintage white paint on top and pulled the print...I tried that one but not with the same stencil and it came out nice. All the different looks are so fitting for the world in which we live. I know this is an older video but I have missed so many and I'm trying to catch up. lol

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you. These older gel printing videos are most popular and still get the most views today. So it's totally okay. Watch any video you want in any order you want! lol I like that you're trying the techniques as well and liking the results! That is awesome!

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you so much. That is such a wonderful compliment. Thank you. I love the gel plate, honestly. It's very addicting. lol

[@peggyjoyce7763]

Just stumbled onto your videos and laughed out loud because you print the way I do....NO PLAN!!! All out go-for-it. In my previous life I was a TV producer/reporter/on camera talent and it does take practice, just like printing on the Gelli - but with time and experience you get more confidence. Doing voice over is less intimidating and its fun to share your surprise at the pulled print. Nice job all the way around. I teach Gelli printing classes at a local art store so I'm always looking to see what the designers are doing. You gave me some great class ideas.

[@DeniseLush]

Thanks so much! No, I'm not good at planning. Sometimes I wish I were...but I'm just not. I feel like if I plan - it doesn't happen. I'm better at just going with the flow. Glad I could offer ideas for your class!

[@peggyjoyce7763]

@@DeniseLush I watched the whole mini journal video just to see how you created a binding once the prints were finished....and bam! you just glued them back to back....LOL. I've been trying to figure out a way to get all my prints bound into a journal. I see you've got an album construction video...maybe that will give me an idea.

[@bobbig.793]

Really love ur videos... you tickle me when you experiment with things... I have a package of instant mashed potatoes flakes that I don’t use... thinking about shaking some on a gel plate... with & without water. Just to see what I get. I love finding things around the house that make unique marks/patterns on the plate. I stocked up on things while I worked up my courage to begin Gelli plating cuz I had a feeling I would fall in love with it... lol But, I was actually correct!!! I sooo love playing with mine!!! Have many many acrylic paints from when I painted wood chunks so that’s what I’m trying to use up as I watch these vids and make a list of replacement paint & colors. Thanx soo much for your videos! I know they’re a lot of work but you make them look easy! Lol. Yes. I just subscribed and will be catching up with the rest of ur vids. Be seeing ya! ~Bobbi

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you so much. hmmm I have instant potato in my cupboard as well. lol Yes, I think it's rare that somebody tries gel printing and DOESN'T like it! Usually it's addiction almost right away. Have fun experimenting and thank you for subscribing and enjoying my videos!

[@robinsutton4952]

I thought I had seen all your videos. My stacks of prints keeps growing, but lately I’ve been blindly grabbing and using them to weave paper. It’s fun and relaxing. Thanks for being the influence for my habit/obsession. I may even get brave and post (Lush’s Creative Peeps).

[@robinalcorn5140]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching you print and hearing your narration. I never would have thought of the instant coffee. I love the color you got from it. Now I'm wondering about paprika and dry mustard. A consideration when using food products: they can attract insects to the projects where the papers are used. Seal them well. Store the papers carefully. Thanks for the inspiration! I'm now a subscriber.

[@DeniseLush]

Oh my! I'm going to have my whole drawer of seasonings down here! lol Oh the paprika!!!! Curry Powder! That would stain for sure.ooooh thanks for the tip about insects! Didn't think about that. Thanks so much for subscribing!

[@daphneward855]

Thank you for these prints and another different medium. I like the scrap paper off to the right side just as much as the prnts

[@cheryl7476]

The the piece, where the graphite became a resist and left those marvelous white spots. I like what you created. Fun to have come across you today. You have a new subbie, Denise.

[@DeniseLush]

Yes! First when it happened I was annoyed. But the more I looked at it, the more I liked it.It's like I was getting a two for one. Because the graphite was giving things a more dirty, charcoal, grungy look, but also acting as a resist! I am so glad you came across me too! Thanks so much for subscribing!

[@cheryl7476]

I have been wanting to get some graphite powders for some time now, having watched others use it with Gelli printing. Watching you play and seeing your lovely results, I know I had to put it on my Amazon wishlist! I will definitely make sure my instant coffee is properly grinder.

[@DeniseLush]

@@cheryl7476 Try it first with the chunks if you like. You may prefer it. Or do half and half. I personally like it better after the grinder.

[@giasnero666]

great prints! an idea for the graphite and coffee -- put a spoon full in a small mesh sieve or wire mesh tea ball and then tap a spoon on the side of the tea ball to help disperse the powder over the geli plate/ stencil etc like a baker does with powdered sugar- won't clump as much and will be more even

[@DeniseLush]

[@lorimcgarrity6537]

You were great even back then. Have you tried the little silky fibers, or what I did was take some hemp cord and untwisted it until I got to one strand. Then I just kept pull the fibers off of there and it was really neat. on the plate. You can make it look like marbled paper. So cool. Also, my favorite these days is from the produce section at the grocery store. I always have done anything that grows outside from weeds to bamboo to pansies. Also feathers, etc. but one thing I hadn't looked as a texture item was in the produce section at the grocery store in the greens section. Where the cabbages are. It all started with the Bok Choi. I had a huge head of it so I wanted to cut the top, all the looser leaves toward the bottom straight off. I did the same thing with Celery before and both of these vegetables give a print that looks like a rose. It's beautiful. So the next time I went to the grocery store I saw these curly greens that I had never seen before. I knew the name, they were chicory. I think it's a bitter lettuce but, it has the greatest texture and shapes. Look up that pic if you haven't seen it before. Then next in line the Savoy cabbage caught my eye, check it out. It's texture is just about like alligator skin. Tough as nails and the pattern on it is great. So just keep an eye out anywhere you go cause unless it's sharp edges or something anything at all can go on the plate. I do different fabrics, etc.

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you. You know I have never thought to play with produce on my gel plate. I have never done it. I will have to try and remember that! Thank you!

I love every single print! I used to think when I looked at some of my prints "what on earth am I going to do with that" and awww that didn't turn out so good" but then found that when I used them to make tags and things they took on a whole new lease of life. I love using fine salt particles they give a good look, and I had a phase where I just decided to do plant material, then I had a phase where I tried thread and string 'n' things. Now I have so many pages lol. It is so addivtive I love it. I have popped over from treasure books channel and glad I did so you have a new subbie. TFS x

Awesome! Yes I bet tea leaves would be great too!
