OMG!!! Somebody call the craft police!!!Shel threw a piece of paper away! Yikes! LOL! Thanks for sharing. Have a painty paper day.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Shocking I know! Thanks for watching :)

I love making something of my underpapers. Enjoying your pink and orange ‘stage’.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Pink and Orange does seem like a very happy combo!

[@Stargazer_Laurie]

Dear Shel, I tend to watch these artsy videos while I’m recovering from chemotherapy, so if I can’t sit at my art desk and make stuff, it’s a joy to watch someone else, mainly if they have something interesting to say, as you do. Thanks!

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

I am glad you are enjoying my content Laura :) My husband watching exploration unknown, and oak island while recovering from chemo in the bathroom. I installed a TV in there for him LOL

[@Stargazer_Laurie]

@@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio that is true love 🤣

[@lisamclain2549]

This is really inspiring. I think one learns a lot from playing and experimenting and seeing so many different combinations of color and design. It certainly must impact one’s more “serious “ works. Thanks so very much!

[@mycrochetobsession]

I enjoy watching this and listening. It’s actually comforting and calming for me-therapeutic.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thank you Teresa :) It is calming and therapeutic to me to do it as well.

[@nellcourt8928]

I'm so glad I am not the only person who does this. Thanks for sharing. Using up some paint today.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Have fun using up those paints!

[@candygrammel8676]

wow. Loved watching you do this. Makes me feel more motivated when I'm in a funk. Thanks for posting.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thank you for watching Candy :)

[@lauramurphy438]

Hello Shel, Thanks for sharing. My favorite pieces were the pink, orange with black flowers hand drawn on, pink circles, and the blue, pink and orange piece that you drew scribbles with white posca pen on. Look forward to seeing what you create using these painty papers.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thank you Laura :) I wonder...when I go in my creative space today...will I still be obsessed with pink and orange? lol

[@sybilgrieco5592]

Beautiful papers! I laughed about your weather as it's 9 degrees here!

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Brrr... way to cold for me. I think 60F is coat and hat weather LOL

[@betsymcghee8915]

Thank you for the great idea of wanting to do "something" but not sure what. These are beautiful and a nice change from the gel printing.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thanks for watching Betsy :)

[@nonidavis932]

Loved this! Such a great idea when I’m stuck! Which I am at the moment…🙃 I think I’ll go play in the art room and get lost for a while! thanks Shel C 🥰 💜💜

Love watching your creativity. I have so many products just sitting around. I need to make some painty papers as I love collage art. Thanks for the inspiration!

Go for it Patty :) There can never be too many pretty painty papers in the world :)

[@Rachaelfrancesart]

I love this idea and I’m definitely going to start doing this

[@BonnyAndClive]

Enjoyed this Shel! 😊💚

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@LeighPogue]

I’ve never been more dissatisfied with a paint product as I did with these dylusion paints. Mine dried up as well and I always made sure to put the lid on well. No reason they should have done this and I had nearly the entire collection. They were beautiful and cool as long as they didn’t dry up but …oh well. Fun video.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

I must agree. LOVED the bright colors. But the manufacturing left lots to be desired.

[@donnaterrell938]

I love this rype of video & your gel press videos. One of my favorite things to do as well. I enjoy your process!

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thank you so much!

Thanks for this. I'm new to gelli printing and didn't want to waste any of the papers used during the process. I love the freedom to 'just go with the flow and see what happens' in this video! I've just subscribed and am looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thank you Devna :) Welcome to the channel. I have TONS of gel printing technique videos and even a playlist here kzbin.info/aero/PLLVQvLSKI7kP1lXHJkCLuVNI4YZj2VdeO

New to your channel Shel 😁 love love love your painty papers/backgrounds! I understand what you mean about Winter, grey, yeuchy, wet! Try living in Ireland where sometimes we can have a month of rain 😝 I am definitely going to try all of your ideas! So relieved to find my creative mojo again 👍

Have fun Sandra :) I am glad you are enjoying my channel....lots of videos to see..over 5k! I am currently away from the channel as I am taking care of my DH who is in the last of his life. Also, my Mom and FIL as well. I will be back some day! Until then....there is lots to see LOL

Really enjoyed watching this! It inspires me to add more layers to papers. That is what watching gel printing does for ne, too.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Wonderful! Have fun :)

Sometimes this results in some really inspiring prints1 Having no plan and just going intuitively is also freeing! Lovely papers, Shel!

Yes, exactly! Free play is so ..well...freeing LOL

I love painty papers. This is what I use in my art work. I have a few bought paper packs, but seldom use it. I prefer painty papers. You made some pretty papers!

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Me too!

[@vannabest8645]

This always gives me great ideas and inspiration. I’ve been trying to do my own painted papers and recently bought a gelli plate…and I’m so bad at it. So seeing this other way of creating the sheets is so much appreciated!

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

You can still do the gel plate! Most likely you are just adding too much paint. Don't skip it...it is the best way. But this is fun too!

[@NatalieLightSeeker1111]

I LOVE these painty paper videos!! I am battling a nasty case of creative resistance and these types of videos really help inspire me to sit down and just exercise my creativity. I’m working on making papers with my older paints so I have a collection ready for when I can start doing art journaling and collage. Anytime you make painty paper videos, I will watch them (along with your other awesome videos)!! ⭐️Can you please make another video making collage fodder using the gel plate?? I love all of your gel printing videos!!💖💖💖

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

I too struggle with creative resistance. I have resisted doing anything but lay in bed and read my fantasy books for the last several days. Most of the time I can get in the studio and just push around paint until I feel better. It just never occurred to me people would want to watch that LOL I do have LOTS of gel printing videos you can watch and even a playlist here - kzbin.info/aero/PLLVQvLSKI7kP1lXHJkCLuVNI4YZj2VdeO

[@vluna365]

Great ideas, Shel!! Thank you for sharing. Btw, I would love to purchase some of your paint papers and would love, love, love to own a Shel C handmade journal.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thank you so much :) Just email me at [e-mail] and I will show you what little journals I have here.

[@flypanfly]

Shel, love your work here. Using smaller stencils yields a lovely batik look! Can you share where you bought your multiple small stencils?

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Hi :) My favorite stencil maker/seller is StencilGirl products. Here is a link www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencils-by-Shel-C-s/2157.htm They have a large collection of ATC size stencils from various artists where you get 9 on one sheet (including my designs) Then I cut them up and put them on a ring ;)

[@jneigler]

Shel, you have done it again… I am inspired to do some painty papers now. Love the vibrant colors and myriad of techniques you demonstrated. How do I join the $1.99 group?

I would buy some painty papers from you 😊♥️♥️

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Maybe one day I will be that organized and can set up a shop or something!

[@pippipants]

Pink and orange is one of my favourite colour combinations atm too! Have you ever thought about scanning your painted papers and selling them as digital downloads? Or would there be copyright issues from using Stencil girl stencils?

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

The color combo is hot hot hot! LOL StencilGirl is an angel company..but not sure about their digitally used policy.

[@judyboring1339]

What is the type of small paper you are using?

[@njungeberg6]

Is that a toothbrush you are using to stencil with?

[@Kerri-AnnLoves2Craft]

Where did get your stencils 😍

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

I am a big fan of www.StencilGirlproduct.com

[@marilynshriver7015]

Really stimulated my creativity. Tend to get too one dimensional.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

In mixed media we have the freedom to make as many layers as we want! Go for it :)
