Gelli print tutorial birds' nest with natural materials

[@butterpoweredbike6135]

I've been playing with the concepts you presented here for almost a full month now, and I cannot get enough. I've made some with glue gun tree branches that are more stark, and some that are deeply detailed like full-on Where's Waldo. Thank you so much for being the springboard that plunged me into the deep end! Your work is so beautiful and inspiring, and your tutorials are easy to follow. I can't wait to see what you make next!

Lovely

[@Cuttlebuglover]

Fabulous. I think feathers are my favourite prints... then when they have picked up quite a bit of colours of paint I use the feathers in my art too

[@gabriellemckinnon353]

Thanks so much - yes feathers print so beautifully!

[@allthumbs3792]

Absolutely beautiful, so delicate and charming. Love the speckles.

[@cindycreateforlife]

Wow, your print is absolutely gorgeous! I have used leaves and grasses and stuff before but, never thought of a birds nest! I am now very inspired, thank you for a wonderful video! If I achieve anything half as lovely, it will be framed and put on my wall!💕🇨🇦

[@amshuyer]

Beautiful! Thank you for your wonderful tutorial.

[@pamlake8213]

You've inspired me to get out my gelli plates. In the past I used them for scrapbooking and cards but had stopped in past years in favor of fine art, I didn't realize that anyone was making such wonderful artwork with them! You've done Fantastic Art!

[@foggybummers]

This is exquisite. New to gel printing and this is so inspiring. Thank you 😊

[@bornawake4483]

Truly beautiful! Thank you for sharing this!

[@gabriellemckinnon353]

Thanks so much !

[@vonaldautterback8831]

Could you tell me more about the type of paper you used to take the print? How heavy is your paper? I like heavier paper because you can work it, paint on top of it, etc. but the heavier the paper, the less it picks up your paint.

[@gabriellemckinnon353]

Hi Vonalda this was 180gsm smooth card (liviano brand). I find that it picks up paint well and the smooth surface is great for detail. I'd just avoid anything too textured.

[@christineboone2850]

❤️

[@susansimpson3907]

How long do you let the nest image dry before rolling on the final layer?

[@vonaldautterback8831]

I made the mistake of using seeded grasses before. I was picking seeds out of my plate for days!

[@gabriellemckinnon353]

It is a pain isn't it! But so much fun using natural materials -lots of surprises!
