[@rachelnicholson1105]

Nista! Your simplicity in instructions is so appreciated. For at least a month, while I've been waiting on my glycerine shipment, I've been struggling to find instructions that made sense to me. Today, after a failed gelli plate making event...I searched again and there you were! Your manner, style and artwork are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing what you do. Finally I can create on a gelli plate! Thank you.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

wonderful! thank you for sharing Rachel 💛

[@maria-giulianalatini1724]

I am SO stoked! I was about to give up after about 25 tries. No good. Then i changed acrylics, used Amsterdam and voila, super success immediately!

[@gillmccowen4631]

What a fantastic tutorial - thank you Nista

[@chriswatts3253]

[@themshedcreative2560]

What a fantastic idea! And I didn't realise that you could just sub agar agar for gelatin - I've been trying to find a recipe for weeks!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Wonderful! I'm glad to hear it was helpful. Thank you 🥰

[@julieduncan4075]

Fabulous!!!! New Subscriber!!!

[@thetaooftravel7913]

thanks Nitsa!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

You're welcome!! 🌹

[@chrisruss9861]

I think my home made agar agar gelli plate has an edge over the commercial ones. You got a nice result with your plate. My plate has survived being out of fridge in warm conditions for at least a year though I confess to not having used it for some time.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Thank you Chris 🥰 I agree and also love the results I get from my homemade plates, they are more grungy looking. Same here, I've never kept my homemade gel plates in the fridge. I store them in a box in a room temperature, and they are just fine!

[@amitrathod5846]

Superb technique!!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

🤗🌹

[@jenngraham1812]

Thanks so much for sharing this tutorial! Excellent demonstration.👏👏👏 I have a question. How do you clean the gel between paint applications?

[@lyndak7485]

Thanks for an awesome video❤️💯👍🏻

Beautiful

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

🥰

[@chuscaace6321]

Beautiful 💗

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Thank you! 🧡🌼

[@IOxOI_art]

So nice! Does it have to be laser printed or inkjet work as well?

[@Hiscomiingissoon]

Beautiful work? Thank you! How do you get the printer to print the pictures out so dark ? What printer do you have? And what kind of brayer do you use? soft rubber?

[@Reneesfun]

Thanks for adding the vegan option for making the gel plate. What kind of material does the mold need to be? That last print was gorgeous!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

The mold can be hard plastic, glass, aluminum etc, probably anything that can hold hot liquid. Thank you 🥰

[@divinagarcia1494]

Thank you such a great informative video were those paper machine copies ❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Glad you liked it 🥰 I use laser prints but toner base photocopier works fine too.

[@cherish64]

Fabulous...thanku for sharing...i am new to this....can this printing be done on canvas as well....?

[@jraydaly]

Would really have loved a close up but a clever interesting technique indeed. Well done 👍

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Thank you 🥰 maybe a future new & better video 🤔

[@bamboocake]

Amazing info. One question. So if I would like to make a bigger gel plate, like a4, then will that be double everything, like 4 spoons of agar agar, 1 cup glycerin and 2 cups of water and boil them together for 3-4 minutes? Thank you.

[@jenniepost7837]

What type of paper is your journal? How are you getting the pages to dry flat? Amazing work! Thank you for the inspiration. So mad at myself, I JUST got rid of a brayer I’ve had sitting here for more than 50 years doing nothing in a drawer.

[@habitualforeigner]

Great tutorial! How do you clean the gel plate?

[@jimmyzalk]

Superb👍what kind of paint you using on it? Thanks

[@andreamuller8468]

Wonderful :)))

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

🤗🌹

[@Mary-357]

Thank you so much for sharing. It is expensive to buy one so will definitely try one. May I ask you for how long it will last, please? How can I store it so it doesn't get damaged, please? Do you clean it with baby wipes?

[@bakraboytoy]

If you put sandpaper down in the tray and pour the mixture will one side become mottled?

[@angeladelosh9258]

I absolutely love this and wish I could get it to work. I printed on my printer, applied acrylic paint and then image. I have not been able to get a print on my plate. So sad because this is awesome.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

You can do it! Why not enter the giveaway to win a free access to my online class: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6jHY2SJg9qoa9E

[@RainDropps]

I made a gel plate using knox gelatin it has an odor from the gelatin. I'm going to make one using agar agar. Thank you for sharing.

[@KimSinclair]

What size spoons did you use? She doesn't say teaspoon, dessertspoon or tablespoon but clearly it will make a difference.

[@catherinemiles3563]

How does the image from the paper put the image like that? Do you have to use a laser printer only?

[@sniorelsa3ed492]

Love it but I want to ask.... you put the plate in the microwave or no ?!

[@carolcorrigan6180]

This is a great technique but I’m wondering if it only works with a laser printer?

[@lilliankoponen9760]

Very cool and thank you for the vegan 🌱 version!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Glad you like it! thank you Lillian 💛

[@user-yr1xq6un4s]

Looks amasing! Is it possible to use ink printers?
