[@wunziesmum]

This was one of the more interesting and useful videos I've watched.

[@debbyepps]

[@BelindaPort]

Very clever and well worked out. Well done!

[@debbyepps]

[@mfvideos2009]

Thanks so much for filming this technique - what a nice gift from you to all of your admirers!

[@byrne15017]

the finished work isn't always shown to the camera. love what you do.

[@MyMeriArt]

Enjoyed watching you build up the layers too, Debbie. The last giraffe with the black came out nice

[@Sylvia-Storm]

Nice work but is there anyway of stopping the roller from squeaking?

[@debbyepps]

Sylvia Tempest - Jones on the video no, in life yes I bought a new one. Thank you for watching.

[@johnabbot1585]

@@debbyepps WD-40 would have been good😊

[@KyAl2]

I like how you used stencils that are smaller than the plate together to create an overall effect.

[@debbyepps]

thanks, I like using a mixture of smaller elements so I cut several of my larger stencils down and cut several of my own too

[@KyAl2]

+debby epps What material do you use when you cut your own stencils? Is the giraffe one of your own?

[@debbyepps]

+Kyle Aldrich I use plastic notebook dividers from dollar tree. yes, the giraffe is my own outline from a drawing I had done in previous painting.

Yea a new brayer would be a good idea. TFS. Gave me some ideas that's for sure. What brand of gelli plate are you working with? I picked up a speedball gel plate. It's medium thickness but it looks like yours is pretty think. I wonder if that would even matter. Where do you get your stencils. The other problem I have is what to use to make designs on my plate. I have stencils and get bored with them. The credit card idea is great. Thanks again and they all came out beautiful

[@debbyepps]

janette aguirre-terry I use gelli arts plates, I have speedball brayer, and I cut my own stencils on my silhouette cameo. I don't find I use other items on plate

[@sonyalemacks7415]

I second the wd40 lol but great video. Tfs really enjoyed♡

[@debbyepps]

Yep, but it didn't last so I bought a new brayer!

[@ErinneKennedy]

just a suggestion, you could have inked your mask and placed it inki side down on the gelli plate with the background paint on it ......... put your paper down, rub, then carefully lift the paper leaving one side still on the plate. Remove the mask. so now you have black in on the gelli plate of the image. put your paper back down burnish again. This way you have the colorful background and a silhouette of the giraffe

[@mfvideos2009]

My brain is fuzzy today I guess. How would you do it, if you wanted the giraffe to be solid black by using a mask? Thanks.

[@debbyepps]

there are 2 ways possible. One, I kept the plastic I cut the giraffe out of whole. You could roll black paint then lay it down and you would only print in the center. Two you could lay the mask down roll paint over the top then lift the mask off and print. Third if you lay Jim down in wet paint and print around then lift up you get a light image. Check out my video: blackout gelli with the elephant using method 2.

[@mfvideos2009]

debby epps Thanks so much! I will check out your other video today!

[@4everminky]

Lovely Thanks for sharing

[@kimmerbe]

Enjoyed your process but that squeaky brayer would drive me up the wall! Lol... thanks for sharing tho ;)

[@debbyepps]

Thanks, I don't think of getting new one when I am out shopping but it drives me crazy on video lol. My husband suggested wd40 today and it helped!

[@lindafordham2964]

How do you not get paint on your hands OR am I just messy? And that brayer was getting to me also. 😜. Great vid tho, TFS!!!

[@debbyepps]

I try really hard to avoid it and keep baby wipe on table lol. I don't know what brand that brayer is, it came with 2 pattern rollers. I think I found it at TJ Maxx it maybe for cake decorating?

[@debbyepps]

Re-read...yeah it squeaks so bad I bought a new one!

[@maryweglarz1539]

Get a new prayer that doesn't squeak!

[@sylysyly9759]

Well when you pray the squeaky wheel gets the grease! Lol
