Gel Printed Tissue Papers for Collage

Today I am printing some recycled tissue papers to use as collage paper. Using just acrylic paints, a brayer and a gel plate, I create some colourful abstract designs.

[@CraigsOverijse]

as always beautiful Teresa I really appriciate your sharing

[@veronicawhite398]

I love the way a lot of the prints reminded me of rice paper. And the black papers were absolutely stunning.

When you stated you save all packing papers, it’s a running joke with my friends, as they say, I care more about the packaging than the gift. One of my friends thought she could outsmart me by using grocery bags. Joke was on her, I made vegan leather. Thanks for sharing. Never tire of watching and learning from you. Happy New Year to you!

Love this! You’ve inspired me and I have a ton of tissue paper to use as well as a Gelli plate!

I admire your stamina!

I need to get out my tissue paper. I have some sewing patterns that could be fun to use.

Hi

[@annierodenberg2327]

Love it!

[@marleneconger5663]

I would love to see some of your finished collage projects.

Great results, and if that black one that looks like a tree was mine, I wouldn't be able to cut it up! Maybe a book cover? I learned a technique many years ago at a textile class, you crumple tissue paper, smooth it out, stick it onto paper whole, paint it, we used Brusho, as that what we were using at the time, (I have 21 year old Brusho that still works, 30 year old embossing powder too!), then PVA or Modpodge, and it looks like leather). ❤

I love the printing on black tissue paper

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Teresa, I really really enjoyed watching you create these Amazing and Stunning paper’s. My favourite are the ones with the plain tissue paper. Funnily I’ve just got a large wad of white tissue paper, which I’ve brought fairly cheaply, so going to have some fun with that. I’m also going to stamp onto it too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

Thank you for sharing your experiments and discoveries-especially about considering using the “back” of the vintage papers for the paint layers in order to keep the print readable from left to right. Like you, I tend not to care about the legibility of print on the finished product (I do a lot of abstract work, so it doesn’t matter). But for those more “realistic” projects, that’s a great option. And having the paint showing behind the print does have a very nice, more subtle effect. Great video!

Now I am dying to get out my tissue paper, and probably will tomorrow. :-) These are beautiful and the black ones are stunning. Thank you for another great video.

You always make geli printing so interesting Teresa. Can't wait to try out these new ideas on tissue paper. Thanks for sharing. From British Columbia, Canada.

Teresa, thank you so much for the tutorial and inspiration!!

[@Reneesfun]

So timely! I’ve been using deli paper and tissue to “glue” onto boxes. Thanks 😊. Beautiful

[@cherylrichards7052]

Love these, going to haul out the gel plate today. Thanks for sharing. 😍
