I’d love to forget the face since that’s 90% of what people do. Thanks for demonstrating another way 💕🎈💕

[@pearlann5995]

Love this transfer of more than faces!

[@melstampz]

So stunning that I don't even have words

[@elizabeththomas8657]

Love the texty looks you got!

[@andream6533]

Thank you for this tutorial. New to gel printing and I can’t wait to experiment!

[@amherst88]

You are *always* full of such great ideas -- never occurred to me to tear/cut up the magazine images and transfer in parts --Genius! 💜

[@elizabeththomas8657]

So fun! Love these!

[@pattyalbertson]

Very cool! I need to start collecting some magazines so I can try this technique!

[@karenpetrie8640]

Great prints. My favourite is the turquoise. I’m going to make one as a gift for a dear friend to mark 30 years of friendship this year. It will be a unique idea. Thanks for the inspiration 💛😊

[@Midknightbluz]

Great video, thanks for the ideas.

[@mendyhand3895]

SO SO COOL!

[@yvonneadams3121]

WOW THIS IS VERY COOL

[@jackiecopeland1835]

A fabulous video. Thank you for the good ideas.

[@sherrydee]

What grungy awesomeness!! Love these ❤️

[@deborahbergstrom2290]

My mind is blown! I had no idea magazine images could be transferred by using a gel press! I absolutely love your collage images. Thanks for sharing!!

[@joychip5994]

Very interesting I must try

[@jessicarossland2286]

Lovely. Both videos were so good. 😘😘

[@cherylalikhani5957]

Great video, I love resists. 👍👍 Been wanting to do some frottage on things around my city (sidewalks, tree bark, building walls, rocks, and anything else that would give nice texture) using uncolored wax or white crayon to gather a large collection of textures. Later I'll use my gel plates on them and decide what to do from there.

[@sewmystyle]

I’m inspired

[@Mariana-ym6zf]

I LOVE those! Beautiful!

[@TheSDJan]

Fun. Have you seen Yeatts Makes - an artist who discovered a gel plate and does these techniques ( and more). Try a crayon rubbing with a stencil…works quite well. He draws with different mark making tools, uses printmaking techniques. Very creative. Thanks for sharing.

[@rtd1791]

I was wondering this. I can’t remember if I saw a Yeates video or if it was someone else but I saw the crayon rubbing technique and tried it. But I was using rubbing plates from Cedar Canyon and Ten Seconds Studio. Also I used Neo Color I crayons. But it worked beautifully. Neo Color I are softer and more pigmented than Crayola so maybe this made a difference.

[@TheSDJan]

@@rtd1791 actually think the Neocolor are better (any oil pastel) and make a better resist. Go check him out if you have not. Great collage approach and very low key. Yeatts Makes. Love his collograph techniques applied to Gel Plate. I sloooooow him down to rewatch..Thanks to you for all your great videos.

LUV THAT. Thank you~

[@japhyryder66]

This is fantastic!

[@ckd2114]

Great tutorial, thank you

[@ChapmanGriffith]

Thanks for the great ideas and for explaining why I have not been successful getting text to transfer . Are you using text from a particular magazine or will any magazine work?

[@shellyeudy5116]

[@pascalejenny6874]

Hello, what do you use to transfer magazine images? is it just Acrylic? I made is very pretty. Thank you for all your tutorial sharing. thank you

[@nangustafson8110]

Cool technique. Now I need to find some magazines. 😂 But what do you use these cool prints for?

[@rtd1791]

Anything you would make from a decorated paper like gift wrapping, cards, art journals, etc. I die cut my prints pretty regularly. I also like to use my prints for jewelry. I love paper jewelry and it’s so much better to use paper I’ve created myself. So yeah, if you already work with commercial decorated paper like artist paper or scrapbooking paper, you can use your prints in the same way.

[@63artemisia63]

I’m about your collage class. Is it recorded? Where can I find information?

[@jeankanack464]

What are the markers you used? I don't see that in the supplies.

[@63artemisia63]

My local library gives me free access to 4,000 magazines online, including Japanese, Italian, French, American and British Vogue, National Geographic, Architectural Digest, travel and art magazines and more. I don’t know if you could make them work for transfers, maybe take screenshots of what you like and print the pictures out on a laser printer? Lmk if you have any luck.

[@119Granite]

Do you use certain magazines more than others?

[@rtd1791]

Glossy pages transfer better than mat pages. Also magazines where the ink tends to come off on your hand generally don’t make good transfers. I’ve had success with National Geographic, Vanity Fair, Esquire, and Elle.

Love the look of this Lydia. I'm about to take a break from my volunteer job and I hope to get creative again. Thanks for the inspiration. mamaxsix/Gail
