I am loving all this texture, Vikki. Just gorgeous!

[@VikkiReed]

Thanks very much!

[@lindalavid]

Terrif!!!! Been making a mess with transfers. Excited! Thanks!

[@VikkiReed]

It's easy to make a mess...it took me SEVERAL tries to get it right!

[@TheBlondiekitten]

Love your gelli plate techniques. Just recently subscribed. The 2nd pull tonite is so cool! Looking forward to your next video.🦋🦋🦋

Ah-mazing! 😊🤗❤. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, expertise and creativity. I love your videos. I do want to give this (transfer process) a try.

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you! As stated, this technique took me awhile to get and it is not successful every time, but it is SUPER satisfying when it works!

[@7WordsWorth]

This lovely video came right on time as I am sitting down tearing pages out of a magazine for some Gelli play. Thanks for the tips.

[@impish22]

what is that square red plastic thing with the circles?

[@VikkiReed]

Hi, thanks for your question, it's a duplo piece which is a slightly larger lego for smaller hands, I commandeered it from my granddaughter's toy box!

[@VikkiReed]

Well, that is perfect timing! I wish you much success, I hope what I shared will be helpful, thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Artstudiovaneijk]

So cool ❤ the royal Talens paint , that I use here in the Netherlands (royal Talens is Dutch) is very good 👌✨ I use or the Amsterdam expert serie or Rembrandt acrylics from Talens ✨ love the video ❤️👌

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you for your comment, I love learning that, yes, it is very good!

[@lorieabraham272]

WoW Super Cool!! Headed to the studio to give this a try… image transfers are intimidating, you make it seem doable with some practice…

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you Lorie! Very thin and even coat of Amsterdam Lamp Black; light pressure on the image (black and white, high contrast work best); very light brayering of pigment over...and let it dry before you pull!

Lovely video, thanks for sharing 😊

Thank you Sylvie!

[@patty1509]

Hello, I love this! I've never seen this type of art before and it looks like so much fun! Can you transfer images from a photograph or only magazine clippings? Thank you. ☺️💕

[@VikkiReed]

Patty, thank you for your question! You can use magazine images or images from a laser printer (not an inkjet) for this method with the gelli plate. There IS a method for transferring photos but it is quite different, I would do a search for photo transfer and I'm sure you will find it!

[@patty1509]

@@VikkiReed Got ya, thank you!☺️

[@jcarson7574]

What was that paint tool you used at the end to add the blue? I didn’t catch it. Great prints. I just bought all the supplies today to give this a try!!! I didn’t look yet but have you printed on tshirts or canvas bags and the like?

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you! The tool is a Catalyst Wedge, wonderful tool! I have not had success Gelli Printing on t-shirts or canvas bags, the Gelli Plate works best for very smooth surfaces, untextured papers and such. I have seen other artists printing on canvas with different techniques so definitely watch for those, thanks for your questions!

[@brendapaint]

whats a duplo? the red object with circles you stamped in.. ? thank you ! nice work!

[@VikkiReed]

Hi Brenda, thank you for your question! The duplo is a slightly larger "Lego" for younger children, I had them on hand because of my granddaughters, I gave it a try and fell in love with the impressions it makes on the gelli plate!

[@deborahtrout8821]

Thanks for showing image transfer. I really like it. Now... what to do with it? 🤗

[@VikkiReed]

You're welcome, Deborah, I'm glad you enjoyed it! You can use as journal pages or collage for a mixed media painting, anything as long as it is for personal use...image transfers are a little trickier due to the fact that the original image is copyrighted, so using them in art and and selling it is problematic!

[@deborahtrout8821]

@@VikkiReed that's good to know. Did not consider that. I have a new question, is there anything you have to do to a new gelli plate (?) to get started?

[@VikkiReed]

@@deborahtrout8821 Hi Deborah, nothing to do before you start! Here is my basics video which may answer some other questions...kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipLViJukg6pmnNksi=G7GnTJn-aubuYTzF

[@frankohlmeier8927]

What kinds of magazines work the best?…

[@VikkiReed]

That is a great question! I find black and white images are more successful, high contrast, I like Vogue…you’re going to need to experiment, the image transfer process is one of the trickier Gelli printing techniques

[@sandilevy2104]

Which magazines are good for image transfer????

[@VikkiReed]

Hi Sandi! I was using Vogue, and I believe black and white is better...image transfer can be tricky, definitely follow the instructions, Amsterdam black acrylic, applied in a very thin even layer, light touch pressing the image on the plate, let it dry before applying your "lifting colors"...good luck!
