Awesome prints! I never realized how important warming up the plate was.

[@donnaarsenoff8399]

The white and gold with the triangles is my favorite, but all are very pretty. No fails! ❤

[@patticlark9321]

I would love to see everything that you do in this journal. I am loving it ❣️

[@jenniesebrasky6023]

I learned so much, too! Thank you, Barbara, for making mistakes and for making gorgeous art.

[@elizabethkeeling-carreau1873]

Beautiful prints! I think I learn more from you with regards to gelliprinting because you emphasize what not to do. I hope you’ll show us what you do with them in your X-LARGE journal. 🤗🇨🇦🤗 Liz

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

I love watching and learning from your geli print videos. You are definitely getting better and better with every one. It’s so inspiring! Thanks for the hope! hugs ❤️🤗

[@debbie1016]

Beautiful prints, Barbara. Watching gelli plate printing are some of my favorite videos to watch. Thank you for sharing.

[@user-fi2sr7ry3o]

Thank you so much for not editing out the ones that were less successful. Loved this!❤

[@rachelpatten8889]

I admire you for continuing to learn techniques to share with us. Not only does it. Provide new content, but you go out on a limb to try something new. Bravo!

[@drdini09]

Thank you - as always - for all your ideas and tips! If I could watch only one KZbin channel for the rest of my life I would choose yours!

[@49dragonflies]

OMG thank you ❤️

[@MichelleOlsonWhitneyES]

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for letting us see your mistakes as well as your genius!

[@wrenbayley]

Love the 3D look of the lace placemat prints! Super cool!

[@matildaenlund6679]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing and being so inspiring.❤

[@ninkagiraudet5141]

Those book pages on the side with the brayer remnants will be fabulous too!

[@christinecourtois5334]

You've inspired me to get my Gelly plate out and have a play. Your prints are looking good.

[@pambotter355]

Loved watching you make these beautiful papers. Great job on them. Glad you found the book to help you. TFS! ❤

[@sandrineboutineau1115]

Good job Barbara! 😂 I love your giggles as much as I love your work, such fun! 😘😘

[@elzanneshepperson6729]

Hi Barbara..... definitely a good stroke of business with these gorgeous prints. Success.

[@petralenk]

Das sind ganz wunderbare Ergebnisse! Danke für die Tipps!

[@flymill84]

Danke fürs zeigen Barbara, LG Rika

[@kerry-lynnmartin8799]

Fun to watch I’d love to see more of how you’ll use them

[@doreethorpe4800]

Nice play with the gelli plate. The prints turned out great!❤

[@VickieAllen1109]

Love watching you create and sharing with us. 💜💜💜

[@allisonjames2923]

The media surface mat is a great idea & the replacement one is inexpensive too (I got one easily). And I learned from Tim that it helps inks bead as well as being non-stick, which they don’t do as much on glass & that really helps your ink smooshing!

[@uniquelylily1166]

I was laughing with ya girl. Ive had the paper get caught on my brayer too🤣👍 ..try try again. It's such great fun!

[@pennydouphinett4545]

I like the clean up pull you did last. It has a lot of potential.

[@annina_pure_creativity]

Oh the placematt once is awwsome and very cool the gold.

[@susanmorales8675]

Beautiful prints. I learned a lot from your video. Thanks Barbara. I look forward to seeing how you use more of these prints.

[@kristinluvsdogs]

Love watching you play. Awesome prints!

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

Beautiful designs.

[@shabbykat273]

Good tutorial! Currently learning how to do this and appreciate your helpful video. ❤

[@grdng8]

Did not know about warming up the gel plate. Will try next time I use it. Thank you Barbara!

[@blaaaaaaarrrrr]

Didn't know either. Great tip!

[@malinh911]

Thanks for sharing your playtime and your new knowledge! I also wish to improve my skills of gelli printing with acrylics, so I appreciate all the tips!

[@49dragonflies]

We are on this journey together 😊❤️

[@tootsfour956]

Barbara, this is a good tutorial. I learned a lot. Thank you!

[@hejlina6549]

Hey Barbara, it's great to see you working in your art journal. I'm curious what you make next time ❤

Amazing results. The book sounds very useful! Thank you for the lesson!

[@HandmadeJournalsbyFran2022]

I love Robyn’s book 🩵

[@laurabenns]

I just adore your gelli plate videos - the prints with the gold are my favourites!! I have seen a couple of you tubers use gold leaf which is stunning. A challenge for you?? 😊

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Let me think on it 😅

[@christine0nowell757]

Yes deffo interested in seeing what you do with these jly prints Barbara, well done this time xxx

[@celieaguayo9000]

[@risamateo8003]

These came out fantastic!! Can't wait to see how you use them

[@annettelind8835]

Hi Barbara 😊 Thank you for another inspiring tutorial. 😍You make me want to purchase a gelli plate and start experimenting. And I just feel in such good company watching you 😍

[@blaaaaaaarrrrr]

I have to do some gelliplate printing again. Thank you for the inspiration! ❤

[@nancynorris9822]

Beautiful and fun prints! TFS 🤗

[@user-rn6vp7vb8z]

Great to know. I just ordered these paints. I was having problems too! Thank you so much for sharing your ups and downs and your solutions!

[@terri3779]

Thank you, Barbara!

[@robinknutson8765]

Loving this I’m not a big gelli printer. I need more inspiration like this. Thank you

[@patriciamorris1812]

This was invaluable information! I can hardly wait to play with my gelli plate!

[@49dragonflies]

Have fun! 😃❤️

[@fonda5797]

Your Geli prints are fabulous!

[@sheilaironside8099]

Love your prints! Pretty! Thank you!

[@caroltanzi29]

Barbara: I enjoyed this video. I have stayed away from gelli prints for several reasons. However, watching your video and Ceri’s, I might try it. Thank you. Carol from California

[@49dragonflies]

I hope you do! 😊

[@alisonwonderland4438]

Love it 😍 Thank you ❤ your XL journal is looking so vibrant 🎉

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Great results!

[@luannfischer747]

Love the gold and white,,,

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

Thank you!😊

[@allisonjames2923]

If you put your gel plate on top of a piece of paper the same size & tape that bottom piece down, you can use that to line up your printing page. Or you can buy a corner block of wood/acrylic that you can use to line up all your prints perfectly 😊

[@JunkJournalFlavi]

Was für schöne Ergebnisse 🥰, da bekomme ich direkt Lust, meine Gelli Plate mal wieder rauszuholen. Ich hatte auch schon bemerkt, dass es besser läuft, wenn man länger was macht, daher tolle Idee, einfach mit ein paar einfarbigen Hintergründen anzufangen 👍 Liebe Grüße Anke 🤗

[@49dragonflies]

Danke! Ich hoffe bei klappt‘s auch! 😊❤️

[@allisonjames2923]

Some great easy textures & masks on the Gelli plate you might like are - tear irregular pieces of paper & plop them on the plate. Put paint down first, then add them & pull a print, but leave them in place while you add the next layer of paint & pull the next print with them where they are (creates cool texture!); cut some pieces of fabric into shapes & pull threads (hessian or calico work great) - I cut some leaf shapes & pulled the vertical threads from the outsides in to leave a full centre, but have fluffy horizontal sides, and did geometric shapes with different threads pulled from different sections. Will send you photos. Get some Tyvek (you can buy a set of coveralls to cut up or buy a sheet) & cut that for awesome textured, reusable & durable masks; and if your mask shapes stick to your brayer, just leave them on & it creates a roll of texture

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for your advice! ❤️

[@susisjournaladventure]

I love love love every single video you make, dear Barbara! Deine Gelliprint-Ergebnisse sind toll geworden! Liebe Grüße, Susanne🤍

[@49dragonflies]

Herzlichen Dank! ♥️

[@revCMF]

Love your gel print videos.

[@jayneelinor]

Great job!

[@yolandakouwenberg-meijer344]

I really like these prints...

[@heathersullivan8494]

Hi Barbara. Love watching your videos when you do the Jelly Printing. Oh No!! lol You’re so cute. Thanks for sharing the tips. I have yet to try my plate, but I really want to. 😊❤

[@wendyk2557]

Fascinating!

[@user-rn6vp7vb8z]

I bought the same paint. Thanks for the tips! They work!

[@christineskinner1706]

Thank you for inspiring me to get out my jelli plate. Definitely give it ago tomorrow ❤

[@49dragonflies]

Yay! Have fun! 😃

[@lotusflowerpassion]

great prints dear what fun

[@vickihernandez5922]

Wow! This is so helpful. I have 3 sizes and don’t use them because I always have a hard time getting something to turn out the way I want. Thank you so much!

[@49dragonflies]

Glad it was helpful! 😊

[@mariemargueritebrickner7631]

Thank you for these tips! I have many gel plates or Gelli and I need a little change to liven up my practice. 😊

[@edie44]

Beautiful pages

[@tammywilliams5006]

Love you too!💕 Thanks for the inspiration.

[@chelliebarron2094]

Gorgeous prints!

[@MaureenAstrid]

So glad the book helped with your epiphany sweetie! It is such a joy to hear your excited voice while making gelli plate prints 🩵😘 Did the activation trick also help on your larger gelli plate, the one that is so fickle? I hope so. Sending hugs

[@49dragonflies]

The book is great sweetie, thanks again! ❤️. I have not tried the big one yet 🙈

[@lynnbeard2450]

oh nooooo!!! 🤣 LOVE your videos. Hugs from Texas

[@allisonjames2923]

So glad you got the Gelli plate to behave. There’s an awesome Gelli plate artist I discovered recently, who makes super cool paint collage abstracts with her Gelli plate, adding layers to the image (not necessarily layers on top of other layers) by masking off strips of the plate. And she’s just lovely to watch too. Mixed Media Art by Trina is her channel. She has a beautiful voice to listen to too 😊 Oo & I watched some beautiful layering of Distress Inks & water splashes on the Gelli plate recently. Can’t remember who that was though 🤔

[@art-alchemy]

I love this video and perfect timing. I also am struggling with my gel prints. Thanks B.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! I hope it helps with your prints too! 🫶🏼

[@heyjude85]

I love this and have learned something, but I'm not sure I have the patience for jelly plate. I love it when you just paint your papers, as well.

[@mschmidt6515]

How fun is that !!❤

[@texasdragonfly4129]

Very inspiring. Great ideas

[@blaaaaaaarrrrr]

7:48 Love how the ocre-blue color combination turned out. Was a bit sceptical first.

[@ritapetty7482]

I haven’t checked this out for myself yet, but the ladies at PM Artist Studios feel that in general blue paints dry quicker than other colors. I love to watch P when she uses the gelli plate.

[@jennifermott5651]

I got a gelli plate but have yet to try it. Thanks for the tip about the thinner paints not working well, and warming up the plate.

[@louloufabrique]

Such great results… when your paint is too dry, just spray a little water to rehydrate your paint. If you put « too much »water, you will get amazing results too. Very different but very interesting… Merci😊

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for the tip! 😊

[@caroleeon]

Hi Barbara. Love your videos! I just wanted to suggest that you can use your stencils the same way you used the cut circles. Also I prefer to use distress ink and oxide ink pads rather than paint. It's less messy. ❤

[@lalagamma4452]

These are gorgeous. Even the ones you didn't like are pretty. Quote: "Treat yourself with care. You are worth more than you know, once you have accomplished this you will find real peace. -Lala Gamma. Huge hugs. Namaste 🐞🐞🐞

[@lynnbeard2450]

LOVE THIS.

[@maudhiemstra]

Such fun papers and how great that the book helped 🥰 I did some Jelli printing just this morning too and also finally managed to make collage fodder that works for me. Hugs 🤗 from tropical Friesland 🥵

[@49dragonflies]

Yay! 😃🥰

[@prof.mommyarty]

Lol my journey has not yet begun 😄. The painty book pages are a good bonus! Oh nice ombre hombre🙊. Ooh yummy results!👏👏👏. So which paper best? You're printing like a pro now, saving this in my techniques playlist for when I'm done procrastinating🙈. LOVING the place mat! Oh no 🙈. Oh the gold on blue and yellow is GORGEOUS😍. Oh I'll check her out. Yes do film it, I'll watch lol. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

[@carolm4094]

Fun prints!

[@karenmack254]

Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@claudiacosijns2856]

I love your work ❤

[@nathalieheath5693]

Thank you❤

[@RobinfromCA]

This is a great tutorial! I have my gel out to play with but then chicken out. You've made me feel like I can do this! I'll let you know how it goes. I finally finished my monster gator mouth journal so it's time for some experimenting.

[@49dragonflies]

You can do this, Robin! 💪🏼🫶🏼🥰

[@nedleycat]

I just love your videos and this one really got me because I’m just getting back into my gelli press! When you say Ceruleum blue I always think of the scene in the Devil wears Prada where Andy walks in and scuffs at the difference between two belts and says I’m sorry I’m just getting to know this stuff. And Meryl Streep refers to hercerulean blue sweater that she obviously got out of the bargain bin and was first shown on the catwalk by eve st Lauren

[@julia_l-c]

I haven't tried the heavy body Golden for gel printing, but the regular liquid kind works well. I usually use Liquitex or Amsterdam - they're both a great balance of quality and affordability. And yes, the cheap really thin craft paint just does not work for gel printing! I've heard you can spritz a little water over everything if your paint is drying quickly on the gel plate but I live where there's plenty of humidity so haven't needed to try it 😁

[@sherrydennis2419]

Very fun!
