Another excellent tutorial. I am enjoying your channel. Thank you for sharing. 😀

[@venlalappalainen9393]

Yeah yeah looks very cool and all that but sadly it doesn't seem to work in my area. 😩 The ink or the paper of the magazines is the wrong kind somehow.

[@julieparker1114]

Oh wwwooowww this is awesome! I can't wait to try it!!!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Sounds good! 👍 Thank you Julie 🌼💛

Awesome ❤

[@gallen7120]

Beautiful! I just tried this, and it didn’t work. Not even close. Not sure what I did wrong.

[@pj.2445]

some magazines don’t work, the ink thickness is very important but it’s probably the magazine. i’ve found shiny-ish magazines work like vogue and elle

[@gallen7120]

@@pj.2445 thank you so much for resoponding . I will try those

[@paulisaez]

Love it. I'm gonba try.

[@londonsara9]

Good video w lots pf possibilities. .. i have bee n trying w all kind of magazines can you let me know which are the ones that worked. Better... thanks..🎉

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Most glossy high fashion magazines work, like Vogue. I also like to use some diy magazines with glossy pages.

[@dynomik]

Thank you very much, my daughter an me love your tutorials but unfortunately we can not get this technic working and cannot figure out why :D why my (same) colors just overlay the whole image after pressing it on the gelly? I used a standard printer paper to transfer, could that cause the problem? I always don't get any imprint of the image on the gelly, just complete clean as the color gets absorbed by the transfer paper... many thanks madame.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Sorry to hear that but there could be many reasons why the transfer doesn't work. Try to change things in your process, sometimes it can be something simple like too much or too little paint. Also try watching this video I made recently: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ7HkHyibLuIhdU

[@bixnash1]

Usually it's because the magazine uses a different print method. Apparently fashion magazines work

[@pauladearringer5247]

You were consistently successful with these image transfers. How do you keep the image from getting smears when you lift up the magazine page?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

It might smear if you use too much paint. Another reason might be that your paint is watery? If so, try switching to heavy body paints.

[@kaymerrel4186]

Not sure what I am doing wrong, but all of the paint comes off of the gel plate and ends up on magazine print.

[@helloyougoat]

How hard do you press with the beater when transferring onto the blank paper?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

I put some pressure, it's something you can experiment with. Sometimes I just put a heavy book on top until it dries, and this helps the transfer.

[@hodatarek119]

amazing!!! thank you

[@itzeljudithrodriguezmontoy3990]

Can a glass or acrylic plate be used instead of the gel? Amazing work

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Thank you Itzel! 💛 I tried both glass and acrylic sheet and it worked just fine, however, I wasn't able to lift the image off the plate so far, so obviously more experimenting is needed 😅

I'm at my wits end trying to transfer magazine photos to the gelli pad. Nothing ever transfers?????

It is a gelpress. I believe I have it listed in the description below the video 👍

[@qso3566]

Nitsa, so the images from the magazine Real Simple work very well on the gel plate? Thank you.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Yes they do work for me quite well 👍

[@qso3566]

@@NitsaCreativeStudio Thank you for replying. I found one local store that sells Real Simple but held off buying in case you replied. I appreciate you letting me know because I've just not been successful with image transfers, so maybe I'll give RS a try! Thanks!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Since you're a beginner maybe try high quality glossy pages fashion magazines like Vouge first.

[@qso3566]

@@NitsaCreativeStudio Right, I've not tried Vogue yet because it's not available in any local stores, so will have to order a copy. I've tried a few I thought would work, fairly glossy, but I think the pigments in the ink are not strong or high-quality enough. Thanks again, Nitsa! 😃

[@isaacdogkeith9230]

Thank you so much for this video. I really LOVE your work!! Hey what color Amsterdam blue is that? Thanks!!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Thank you so much! 🥰 I believe the blue paint you're asking about is the Turquoise blue. (and sorry about the late reply)

totally does not work for me. don't know what i'm doing wrong but can't get one good print!

[@monicaherbei3880]

Could you please let me know what is the transfer pad and where to buy it? I love the effect.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

I think you're asking about the Gel Printing Plate. There is a link to purchase it on Amazon under the video 👍

[@madasahatter4489]

Nitsa -- do you think it's possible to transfer a magazine image to fabric using clear acrylic medium instead of acrylic paint? Love your channel!😀

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Yes, there are many ways to transfer with acrylic medium, so you don't really have to use a gel plate for image transfer.

[@jackievest7540]

This is amazing. For some reason I am trying and none of my prints are staying on the plate? I am using acrylic paint in a tube.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

It might be the magazine, because not all magazines work with this process. Try the glossy pages of fashion magazines like Vogue. Thank you 💛

[@camilarizzo7290]

THANK YOU A LOT!!!!

[@margeryciambra7344]

I need some help. I watched one of your videos where u use sticky paper with lines. I ordered it on amazon March 3rd & still have not received the sheets..I forgot the name & would appreciate if you could let me know the name of these transfer sheets. If I could only remember what I ordered then I can check with amazon to see why I have not received them. Thanks- Margalit

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Hi Margalit, maybe you are asking about the transfer paper by the Hippie Crafter? I mentioned it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmWtf3ykhNGaibM

will this technique also work on fabric?

Yes defenitely! maybe not all fabrics, but should work on cotton.

[@tammiedargan1228]

I keep trying to do this and it just isnt transferring. I am getting some new magazines and try them. No clue what is happening. I get the print not the pictures.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

It does take some experiment to get all the right variables in line for it to work 👍 The main thing is to not give up

[@TheDreadfulCurtain]

Does this work with books as well ?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Yes, definitely! not all books of course but yes, some work great!

[@cjlivoc4420]

When I pull a print off with a thin layer of paint after letting the first layer dry it never seems to pull off cleanly - quite a lot stays on the gelli pad. What should I be doing differently? My pad is new, I'm wondering if it will work better when I've used it more?Thanks.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

It might, and sometimes I find that even warm dry weather makes it difficult to lift the image off the plate. Maybe try not to let your image dry all the way and lift it when its still somewhat wet 👍

[@cjlivoc4420]

@@NitsaCreativeStudio thanks for getting back to me. That seems like a good thing to try!

[@dianecarroll6663]

This was such a good question because I was experiencing the same thing not all the paint lifting off the jelly plate or not lifting up at all I thought perhaps it was the paint I was using and it also seemed the more opaque the paint the less the image would transfer. So I started adding gel medium to the top layer layer I sometimes try to spritzing it with water before I lifted it LOL. But I think it’s a good suggestion perhaps not to let it dry all the way will try it

[@ingridogilvie3664]

can you do that with fabric.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Yes, definitely, check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGTGhKuOaZmegK8

[@towahead]

I have your book. Thanks

[@InannaIshtar1115]

I tried different magazines and can't get anything to transfer...idk if it's the roller or the paint or the transfer board but nothing is working

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Its hard to tell without seeing your process, but make sure to use heavy body paints (like Amsterdam standard series), glossy or semi glossy magazine pages (they don't all work!) and gelpress or gelliarts gel printing plate 👍

[@fionawalker8184]

I gave it a try and couldn't get it to work, any tips?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Its hard to tell without seeing all the steps in your process, but change around things in your process, sometimes it can be something simple as too much or too little paint.

[@havefunbesafe]

I'm havng zer o luck with this...Ii end up pulling all the ink offf the plate. I'm using images from old Life magazines

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

I don't remember trying pages from Life magazine, so I'm not sure if they work.

[@cathyburnside3363]

When i pull up my magazine page there is no print on the plate? What am i doing wrong?

[@bevodaniel3384]

Could be because the paint is to thick. You only need a very thin layer. Then make sure most of the paint comes off the plate onto the magazine page.

[@barbaraziev3972]

Can’t get this to work! Help!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

which magazines are you trying to transfer from? they don't all work equally

[@morgand1995]

nice vid, didn't work tho. close a couple of times but no joy, tried different paper texture, different paints. good fun tho

[@kathiereynolds4353]

What if all the paint stays on magazine paper?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Hi, it could be a number of reasons. Might be too much paint or maybe the wrong kind of paint. Try to change things around and play with different elements in your process 😀

[@dianecarroll6663]

I copied a lot of photographs at Staples which I assumed was a giant laser printer. Not one image was I able to pull. All the paint stayed on the paper. So I’m thinking it’s probably something that Staples is using. But as you suggested sometimes it’s good to change the paint or try a different magazine.

[@maryeyal]

What a beauty of ART copy technique !! I love it!! Will it work with family photos that I'll print on Chromo pages?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Yes! You can make cool family monoprints by printing your photos with with a laser printer. As far as the chromo paper goes, it might be a little too heavy, but you can print on a standard printer paper. It doesn't need to be glossy as long as you print it with a laser printer.
