How to create layered Gelli Prints with stencils and stamps Part 1

[@deborahcollard9639]

Fascinating video, you are a fantastic teacher, I was mesmerised by the colour mixing.

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@margaretpollard5507]

There looked to be the shape of a woman in that one. Love it , the possibilities are endless. On the dark one before the circles were added.

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thank you Margaret it was a fun session 😀

[@SandraEarleRusso]

I love how ou attribute where you came up with your ideas.

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Always a good practice to cheer each other on, there’s room for all of us 😀

[@annagray4208]

Great video again, Susan. First, I watched it to learn, and then I put it on again, so while I was gelli printing I had your voice for company in my studio. Was like working with a friend 😊 thanks heaps.

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Aww thats so nice to hear! I like listening to podcasts too as it feels less lonely in the studio 🥰

[@nattyw495]

Enjoyed video found it interesting and informative,love the stencils and the shapes are very intriguing really able to get many design ideas from these shapes and your video..💛🎨👩‍🎨🇨🇦🇺🇲💛

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Glad you enjoyed it 😀

[@jentrujillo9110]

I love those stencils from PM artist! High quality and so organic ! Love your colors and demo..THANK YOU

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Glad you like them! 😀

[@evaverngren9681]

Love this video! Thanks for not having any desturibing music in the background.

[@susanmccreevyartist]

I’m glad you found it helpful Eva 😀

[@julieboyle170]

The variety you were able to make from those colours was fantastic. Can't wait to see you next video when you create a full piece. Thank you for sharing.

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thank you, the final piece is still a work in progress might need to be a 3 part session 😆

[@rebeccafraser8616]

This longer video, from color picking and mixing, to playing with the colors and stencils and stamps and layers-it was really great to watch. I learned so much from watching your process. I love your attitude to the less successful pieces and clean up sheets…it is just great to watch and to listen to your voice. I think I need to sign up for your course in the New Year! Quite nice, as you say! Oh, and thanks for listening to those of us who requested you include the color mixing!

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Ha ha I say that a lot 🙄 “that’s quite nice 👌” glad you found the video helpful 😀❤️

[@paulinestewart8188]

Awesome video Susan - so happy I just stumbled across your wonderful website!!

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thank you so much!

[@sandyfranklin1123]

Even your palette is beautiful!

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thanks so much! I thought it looked very messy 🙃

[@sarahkhamsoda7549]

Aha I thought the same thing and am itching to see if you could peel it off to use as a background on a journal page somewhere 😍

[@Maria-k0]

A great video thank you! Love all the over printing 😊

[@susanmccreevyartist]

You are so welcome! 🤗

[@ivywreden6330]

Love this play session and your colors. You used. Very inspiring. I just bought these nesting stamp and stencils. Love them thanks for sharing. Can’t wait for part 2 of collage.

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thanks Ivy, really glad you enjoyed the video 😀

[@victoriaellisve]

Fabulous.. Watched it all!.. Can't wait for part 2! ❤

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thanks so much, I’m still working on it, it may end up being a 3 part video 😀

[@PMartistStudio]

Lovely prints! Thank you so much for showing and using the stencils. Enjoyed your approach to the swatches and color choices.

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Lovely to collaborate with you, hopefully a few new customers for you too 🎉 😀❤️

[@sarahkhamsoda7549]

Watching you mix the colours to match the samples is a lesson in itself - thanks - I've watched that part several times over already! Can I ask where you got your pantone colour cards from?

[@susanmccreevyartist]

I found the Pantone cards on eBay 😀

[@sarahkhamsoda7549]

@@susanmccreevyartist thank you xx

[@pennymeyer3416]

LOVED seeing how you mixed the paints...that was worth an ecourse for sure. Also, loved the round thingy you adapted to rub the layers onto paper. What IS that? I want one! Thank YOU for sharing all your expertise with us!!

[@susanmccreevyartist]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video 😀 it’s called a baren artway.co.uk/artway-plastic-10cm-printmaking-baren/

@@susanmccreevyartist Thank You so much!!

[@apple369]

Thank you for the longer video, Susan. It was fun! I made some of my own creations along with you.

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thats great it inspired you to get your plate out too 😊

[@joyloveday7377]

Great video 👍😍 For the asemic writing stencil & other very detailed stencils, I'm thinking you'll get a clearer ghost print if you use your fingers instead of the baren. You can get into the nooks & crannies more, if that makes sense?

[@joyloveday7377]

To clarify 😏 When you place the initial paper down to lift the paint in the negative spaces, if you use your fingers, you'll lift more paint in the nooks & crannies around the details of the stencil. This should result in a clearer print 🤞😊

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thanks for the tips!

[@jank8465]

Such a great video. Thank you for sharing your talents. I love those circles you use as stencils. Did you make them or can I buy them somewhere?

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thank you 🙏 the link and discount code to purchase the stencils are in the notes below the video 😀

[@frankylee4266]

Love watching the colour mixing. Can I ask what colour wheel you’re using its a bit more complex than my simple one?

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thank you, I’m not sure where I got this one. If you google colour wheel and images it comes up with loads though 👌❤️

[@margaretpollard5507]

Loving your videos. Could you tell me what tissue you use please?

[@susanmccreevyartist]

I like carnival wet strength tissue and Maruishi paper best 😀

[@bobbymcpherson3475]

Hi Susan where did you get your colour wheel? Thanks for videos love them

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Hi 👋 I don’t have a link for that one, if you search free printable colour wheel on Google you should be able to find something similar, I printed one out and glued it into a stiff card.

[@patriciarcarmichael1219]

I put on your video with the intention of watching while I worked on making backgrounds...I managed to pull only 2 prints because I was so engaged with what you were doing! Kudos on the color mixing--I love to mix colors! I am curious about the papers you were using??? Using both sides of the wet strength tissue was a good move...about the paint: is it "open"? I have subscribed and look forward to where this project is going! Oh, and thank you for making this video--stellar use of the stamps and stencils! I believe I am ready to use the stamps with acrylic paint! :)

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thank you Patricia 😀 I didn’t use open acrylic here. Student grade and professional heavy body paints. The papers were thin sketchbook paper, wet strength tissue and dressmaking pattern paper.

[@susanschweit8862]

Love your color mixing ! What kind of color wheel are you using ? I have not seen one quite like that in the U.S?

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Hi there, thank you. I just searched colour wheel images on Google. There’s lots of free ones. I can’t remember which one. Just search free colour wheel printable 😀

[@nicholeray9521]

What brand of color wheel are you using and where did you get it? This video is really helpful.

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Hi 👋 if you search free colour wheel printable on Google you should find something similar. I can’t remember exactly I’m sorry 😔

[@pineconemediadesign]

What do u do with them? Thanks!

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Hi 👋 I use the papers for collage in many of my mixed media projects. This video will give you tips on how I use my prints 😀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIbIpph7l72VgK8si=9Xmd4qsPH5GrNWE4

[@Cynthia_retired]

Thanks for the video. I'll be making collage papers galore now for the course. Where did you get the circles? or did you make them somehow?

[@susanmccreevyartist]

The link 🔗 is in the description below 😀

[@RobinGayl]

Hi Susan! Is the coffee paper a coffee filter paper? Toddy?

[@susanmccreevyartist]

No it’s regular paper I dyed with coffee ☕️

[@RobinGayl]

It's lovely! Do you have a video where you teach this technique or do you teach it in any of your courses? @@susanmccreevyartist

[@suzannewithers8093]

Can you buy stencils in uk

[@susanmccreevyartist]

No, these are only available in the USA, they do ship to uk though 😀

[@deborahcollard9639]

I think the 10% offer on $35 is only if you live in USA, to have them shipped to UK you have to spend over $125

[@susanmccreevyartist]

When I made the video the lady said it was valid for overseas too? Maybe send them an email and they will help you. pmartiststudio.com

[@carolineleeking]

If you would use a thinner layer of paint, I believe your stencils would give you a sharper image. Otherwise quite informative!

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thanks for the tip! 👌

[@CathyCloutier-hh5ci]

I really don’t care too much for the writing stencil. Looks more blotchy than writing.

[@CathyCloutier-hh5ci]

But the wet stencil of the writing onto a new background and brayered over it looked more like writing.👍🏻😀 I think it is really important to get all the paint out of all the crevices?

[@Thistooshallpass3718]

Love the stencils. But you have to pay them a monthly membership and then pay for the stencils... yikes! I see why they send you the stencils to promote! Love your gel prints regardless!

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Really? I didn’t see that on the website and other students of mine have purchased them directly 🤨

[@PMartistStudio]

It seems there is a misunderstanding, there is no subscription service that you describe. The membership (called Arty Perks) gives discounts on any of the products sold. The membership (Arty Perk) benefits those customers by including early bird access of some of the latest designs that are not available to others for at least 8 weeks. This really benefits customers that buy lots of stencils/stamps as the fee is often covered by the discount they receive eg on a $100 spend the fee is covered by the discount received, then the next order or the larger orders benefit even further by the discount given. The phrase Arty Perk was chosen because it is a perk to those who regularly support the shop. Then there are those who do not sign up for Arty Perks who are Arty Friends and can buy at the prices shown, but have to wait for the latest designs to become available.
