Doodling & Stencilling on a Gelli® Print - Part 1 of 2

[@susanjolissaint7537]

Jus when I think your page can't get any better you doodle some more and it looks even more fabulous! I love your work!

[@CatHand]

+susan jolissaint Thanks so much, Susan - I'm really glad you enjoyed it! 😊 TFW!

[@PDogB]

I also laughed when you "couldn't stop" even when the sponge was falling apart! I also love how you always pick up your paint when others seem to just wipe it clean. Love those Posca outlining pens in black and white for doodling on prints. I'm going to try to find those. Thanks for doing what you do. You are a terrific inspiration!

[@CatHand]

Thank you so much for such nice comments! Yep, I don't like wasting leftover paint! I get my Posca pens online at Amazon. I'm so happy to inspire you to be creative! Thanks for watching! :)

[@mskaykrafts]

Happy belated Birthday! I love your birdie page....and when I saw the little tag...I thought it was so cute....then you said it was to cover up...lol! I still think it was brilliant! Love your gelli print and doodling! You had me cracking up using up your paint! So cute!! tfs xx Claudene

[@CatHand]

Thank you Claudene - I had a very nice birthday. So glad you liked my page with the tag that covered my mistake. I guess that was NOT an "attention to detail" moment! LOL And I had myself cracking up, too, watching back the video where I just kept adding and adding and adding and.... LOL I almost edited some of that out, but it was so funny I left it all in there. I'm glad you enjoyed it! TFW! Hugs, Cathy 😊

[@etthejet]

Thank you, Cat Hand! Just gathering my materials to get started with Gelli printing and your videos are lovely to watch and help me think about different ways I can create. Love your work! Grateful!

[@etthejet]

I also meant to ask you what width Posco Paint pens you use? Thank you!

[@CatHand]

Thank you, Ethel - I appreciate you watching! I mostly use Posca pens with an Extra Fine point, size 1M.

[@janetpingrey7155]

Love this page.........so enjoy your videos and your sense of humor.......you have inspired me in so many ways.....thanks for sharing your gifts with us............

[@CatHand]

Aw, thank you Janet, for such a nice comment! I'm so happy you've been inspired by my videos and I so appreciate you watching! 😊

[@waysouth777]

Loved how you cleaned off the sponges!!!

[@CatHand]

LOL, is that the one where I couldn't stop....? Gotta use up that paint, right?? LOL :D

[@nancydale7367]

Oh Cat, you do rock!!! Everything you make inspires me... and you know how down I was about how my prints came out from my first try gelli printing. NOW I want to get them out and start doodling!! Thank you!! (again! I'm always thanking you, lol!)

[@CatHand]

Thanks Nancy - that's so sweet of you and I really appreciate it! Get 'em out and doodle away! 😊

[@AnneWilliamsonanneliesecreates]

I love your bird art journal page! I love what you did with your Gelli Prints.

Thank you Anne! TFW! 😊

[@katherinehaught7950]

I really like the white doodling. It is so striking. You really enjoy this kind of playing around, don’t you. That’s what makes you so much fun to watch. I love watching your thought process. Inreal

[@katherinehaught7950]

I really like that rick rack kind of stencil.

[@JaceWilliams]

Loved your art journal page. Don't feel bad that you didn't record it. You have to have some no pressure fun time! I also love how the stenciling and doodling came out on your Gelli print!!

[@CatHand]

+JokersSoul 69 Thanks for your nice comment and also for understanding - I had a feeling my viewers would understand. :) Thanks so much for watching and commenting! :)

[@karenblanck7726]

I just stumbled upon your videos and LOVE them and your work! The colors you use are AMAZING! I love your little giggles too when you do something you really like! I know the feeling when you pull a stencil or print away and see something even better than you anticipated. Can't wait to watch more of these and witness your creative process and artwork.

[@CatHand]

Thanks so much, Karen. I'm glad you found my channel and are enjoying what you've seen. I really appreciate you watching and leaving such a nice comment. Have a wonderful weekend! :)

Dunno if anyone cares but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother for the last couple of months :)

[@lochlanseth9092]

@Atticus Langston yea, I've been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself =)

[@cananimal1]

Just recently started to watch your videos...getting so much from them, lots of ideas for creativity and also cost saving tips...your videos are very nicely done! Have just retired and was worried about being able to continue to craft as much but you have shown me some great ways to create without spending a fortune...thanks so much! 😀

[@CatHand]

Oh, that's wonderful, April! Yes, there's so much that can be done with simple household items! It's easy to spend a lot of money to create, but it's not always necessary. So happy to have been able to help you. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 😊

[@teinadrake6349]

Wow Wow Wow. Love what you have created!!

Oh, no worries, Elizabeth - thank you very much. It was a nice day. 😊 So glad you liked this video. There's absolutely no way for me to stay caught up anymore on videos I watch, so now I just watch what I can, when I can. I appreciate you watching and all your comments! Have a blessed day! 😊

[@lorhen82]

Hey, you deserve to have projects that you do off camera, where you can just have fun and not worry about filming. No need to apologize for that! Your pages are always beautiful, from your doodling to the colors you use. You made me laugh when you couldn't stop adding to your unwasted paint page. LOL I'm glad you had a nice birthday. :) HUGS!!

[@CatHand]

Thank you Lori - I knew you'd understand. And thank you for the nice comments about my work. Oh my goodness, I couldn't stop laughing about that part - it just went on and on and on and on and..... LOL I'm glad you enjoyed it, too! Yes, it was a nice birthday, for sure. Hugs right back! 😊

Joggles is a fun store :)

[@ArtyFartyFairy]

🎉🎂🎁🎼happy birthday to you! 🎶🎁🎂🎉 glad you had a nice day. It's not just comments that there's problems with as my first 2vids are hiding somewhere, as there not on my list any more. Love your bird and what you did with the print! Thanks for sharing them, take care, Joanne.

[@CatHand]

+ArtyFarty Fairy Thanks Joanne! I did have a nice day. :) I just went to your channel and I can see your first two videos (the hair barrette ones) are still there. You may be looking at your HOME screen (videos do drop off there.) Look where the headings are across the top of the page, right above where the videos are listed, and click where it says VIDEOS. You should see them all there... TFW! :)

[@ArtyFartyFairy]

+Cat Hand You are just too nice, thank you. 'my videos' is where they are on an android and they still missing in action. But they are showing on my home page I never thought to look there, as it's not where I go really often, as they're allways in- 'my video's'. But I'm sure that is the opposite to what you just said. See what I mean about Android being different. It looks similar but I have no way on this to even see who my subscribers are. I can see how many but as to who they are I have to get Mick to sign in as me on his works pc and have a look to tell me the ones who aren't private. I think they up graded the app a few days ago as the public videos in my list, the front picture changed size and it looked different. Now they are back to how they were but at least 2 are MIA. Android is strange but I am not complaining as if it wasn't for it I would never have been able to do this! Thank you for looking for me. I hope you can make sense of the above, as they are similar but not the same workings. Take care, Joanne.

[@ArtyFartyFairy]

+Cat Hand ps sorry I just had a look by using the other youtube app called- studio. I uploaded it to see if I could see my subscribers and do some simple cropping/editing to take the pressure off Mick, and they do show up on there. Feel free to delete all this as I do feel bad about me prattling on about mine on yours. It just doesn't seem right. Joanne 😊

[@CatHand]

+ArtyFarty Fairy Aw, no worries Joanne! I know that things are different on mobile devices than they are on PCs. My ipad doesn't show all the stuff my computer shows either... I use the YT Studio app, too and I like it for responding to comments, especially when I'm, say, in line at the grocery store, etc. Haven't seen anything on the iPhone version of that app that shows who my subscribers are, though. Must be a little different for Android or I haven't explored it thoroughly yet. ;-)

[@beadzombie72]

Wow! Before you started with the zigzag, I would've bought to hang on my wall. I think they just pushed it too far. I often think that about your Gelli prints, though, and end up loving them even more after you add several more layers. Thanks for sharing. You are always inspirational :)

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

Your doodling is just fantastic!!! I just love how this came out and I cannot wait to see how you use it. Belated Happy Birthday :) and of course you deserve to do art journaling in private but thanks for showing it to us. Its beautiful.....janet

[@CatHand]

+JBaum Thanks so much Janet! And thanks for the birthday wishes, too. I film almost everything I make these days, but sometimes, I just need to create something without the camera on. I'm glad you understand and of course I still wanted to show you guys what I did in my art journal! I'm really glad you liked it. TFW! :)

[@ellib2231]

Loved the Journal page, and the gelli painting. Great tip about the sponge also. I can't believe I didn't figure that one out before I wasted millions of dollars worth of makeup sponges Ha! (slight exaggeration, but really, great tip, and so environmentally friendly as was the use of every last smidge of your paint :) I'm very glad to have come across you. Subscribed. Thank you.

I forgive you. :-) I totally get just having to create to relax. Wow, adding that blue really make the page pop. I love that stencil. I need to get that one. Who makes that one?

[@CatHand]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@marilynmccormick1658]

Thank you for all the instruction on gel plate and how to use the prints. I am anxious to buy one. Would you recommend purchasing an 8x10 size or close to it (if they come in that size) or get a smaller one to practice with so I don't use so much paint in the beginning. I'm not sure what my settings are so if I don't hear back, I'll check the settings.

[@CatHand]

My pleasure, Marilyn. You’ll have a lot of fun with a gelli plate. I recommend a plate by Gelli Arts or Gel Press. A 5x7 is a nice size to start with, but it really depends on what you might want to use the prints for. I started with an 8x10 size. It can be disappointing, though, because it won’t print all the way to the edges of a letter-size sheet of paper. I mention this because some people like to fold letter-size prints in half to make junk journal pages. There are many sizes available now, but it’s not a bad idea to start small. 😊

[@ebknight74]

You probably have figured this out by now since this is an older video, but when using yellow heavy body acrylic paint if you add a little white to the yellow it will cover better. The yellow shades tend to be transparent.

[@CatHand]

Thanks Emily. I had thought about using white underneath the yellow, but hadn't thought to mix it in with the yellow, so I'll give that a try. I appreciate the tip! 😊

[@Maggiesplace48]

Love the gelli print doodle

[@CatHand]

Thank you - they are so much fun to do! TFW! 😊

[@janetteaguirre-terry2986]

Is this a journal cover? And if so what it gelli plate techniques? How beautiful! I bought a gelli plate (speedball), brayer and a glass cutting mat. I haven't played with it yet as I have to buy more acrylic paints, more stencils and gather more things I can use to make impressions such as feather, leaves. You have any other suggestions? Also what kind of paper to use. I do have mixed media, watercolor paper (Canson) that can get expensive. Do you use gesso to the paper prior to laying paper over paint of gelli? Any ideas and or suggestions are much appreciated. Thank you for the tut. Yes I love my wink of Stella. Love your art work you are talented.

[@CatHand]

+janette aguirre-terry Thanks so much, Janette. I use all kinds of papers to print on - printer paper, card stock, magazine and book pages, graph paper and deli paper, to name a few. I give several ideas of "found items" that can be used when gelli printing in a 2-part video I made about a year ago. Here's Part 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqa7p6Npmd-VY5Y and here's Part 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaurpoRuorKnY5I 😊

[@DoloresJRush]

My mother was a ceramic teacher and she always told her students to undercoat the color beige before applying light colors like yellow or white to make them pop.

[@BeCre8ive2]

+Dolores J. Rush That is a great tip! Thanks Dolores! :)

[@CatHand]

Yes, I usually do that, too - guess I was being stubborn yesterday! 😊

[@revsonyapaterson788]

I'm glad you took some time to art just for you rather than worrying about making videos. 🙂

[@Queenpreneur]

Awesome...2 amazing creations! I just read all your comments trying to figure out the name and maker of the main stencil you used on your gelli plate...not the zigzag and not the jiggles.com one who decided not to use. Thank you.

[@CatHand]

+Rachel Bellamy Hi Rachel - that is a 12x12 inch stencil called Blazonry - it's made by The Crafter's Workshop. TFW! :)

[@Queenpreneur]

Thank you.

[@48nelia]

I really love your page here, and watching the process is so cool!!! Can you tell me what the white pen is that you are doodling with? I never could see the writing on the pen. It seems that it is just so easy and gives such a nice white line with no skips, etc. Love it!

[@CatHand]

+48nelia Thank you so much! The white pen is a Posca paint pen. They are amazing and write on everything! TFW! :)

[@marywilliams8226]

[@donnasplayt4721]

That turned out so beautiful. I loved the zen tangle you did with the white. It really make the page pop. When you use a gelli print in your journal, what did you use to attach it to the page?

[@CatHand]

Thank you very much, Donna - I'm so glad you enjoyed it. When I use a Gelli print in my art journal, I usually just adhere it with Mod Podge or Collage Pauge, whichever one I'm using at the moment. Thanks so much for watching! 😊

[@charlottecanning9561]

I have just discovered your videos. They are awesome. I love gelli plate printing and am learning so much from you. Thank you! I was just wondering if you could tell me where you got the stencils for this and several of your videos. Thank you!

[@CatHand]

Hi Charlotte and welcome to my channel. I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos and finding them helpful. I get most of my stencils from Amazon, but I got the zig zag stencil from here: she.steals.com/p/3013605/two-berry-creative-stencil?v=3063855 Thanks so much for watching and commenting! 😊

Oh wow, I thought those things were everywhere! That is a bummer! 😕

[@silkeschumann7261]

6:50 Sticker on upside down stamp - you definitely improved the page by using the white ticket. A stamp directly on the background would have blended too much into the background. I always feel a quote like this should be readable easily.

[@CatHand]

Thanks for watching!

[@scottyeallen6426]

Your videos are always in focus and sharp! What camera do you use?? Thanks Cat!

[@CatHand]

I use my iPhone. :)

[@DoloresJRush]

I really like that zig zag stencil. What brand is it, do you know?

[@CatHand]

Yes, it is by 2 Berry Creative. I'm got a really good deal at Steals.com. If you're interested go there and at the search box choose SCRAP category & then type in "2 berry stencils" and it should come right up.

[@MommyofMonkeys]

Where and how do you store all your scrap paper and cards for unwasted paint?

[@CatHand]

I keep my scraps in a plastic drawer in one of those Sterilite 3-drawer units. My index cards are in a box that sits right next to my work table so I can grab them quickly when I have a bit of paint to use up. TFW! 😊

[@bleigh8793]

I'm sorry if I missed it somewhere, but could you tell me what name/brand of stencil the zigzag/rickrack stencil is? LOVE that one, and thank you for sharing. Your work is an inspiration! ~tina (And P.S... Happy Birthday!)

[@CatHand]

Hi Tina - thank you for your sweet comment and birthday wishes! That stencil is by Two Berry Creative and I got it here: scrapbook.steals.com/p/3013606/two-berry-creative-stencil-set-of-2?v=3063858 It's a good price for 2 large stencils. They are sticky stencils, but I just use them with the backing paper in place for my quick stenciling-on-paper projects.

[@bleigh8793]

Cat Hand Thank you so much.. I love it in your work, but it also has the charm of vintage rick-rack, and it even reminds me of Charlie Brown! :) I can see putting this stencil to much use! Thank you so much!

[@CatHand]

Making your own stencils with a stencil knife and acetate film will be soooo much cheaper and you can do exactly what you want instead of trying to find it to buy, besides it is yours alone.

Gelli plates can be purchased online at several places and shipped to you. I got mine at Amazon - it’s 8x10 inches, and they are available in other sizes, too. www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=8x10+gel+plate
