Thank you for the videos I really enjoy them, I had to laugh about the ‘unable to do repetition’ comment. Me too and the more I try to do something the same the more quirky things get! Lol

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Great minds ☺️😘

fantastic pieces!

[@CaterinaGiglio]

froebelsternchen Susi Dear Susi, Thank you so much! 😘

[@suziqu23]

Really enjoyed this so much Cat and yes it felt so relaxed with you filming this in your studio. Love the wonderful effects especialy the cool effect with the numbers and letters and wondered where we could purchase these? So many thanks for dedicating your wonderful time and experience! With much gratitude! xoxox

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Suzy quaife Hi Suzy! Aww you are so kind my dear friend! The stencils are old.. 😞 I don’t even know if they could be purchased any more, perhaps try an office supply? The other possibility would be to cut your own. I have been wanting to try that! I guess I will have to put it on my list 😉 thank you for watching and leaving me a comment dearheart, I so appreciate it! 😘❤️

[@suziqu23]

@@CaterinaGiglio Cat thanks so much for the response! I'll give it a go surely can't be all that difficult dearest! xoxox

[@susanthompson6844]

Thanks for the demonstration. I always slightly dampen the fabric for a sharper image

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Susan Thompson Hi ?Susan! Thanks for the tip! I imagine it would definitely help with adhesion. Thank you so much for watching and letting me know you enjoyed it! 😘

[@georgenemurpy4165]

Are u using a fabric medium? It is my understanding that acrylic paint alone on fabric makes the fabric stiff while using a fabric medium eliminates the stiffness. Thanks

[@CaterinaGiglio]

You are correct! No, I did not, because I was painting fabrics for book covers 😉😘

[@colorcreatively]

I enjoy your channel.

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Color Creatively thanks for letting me know! And thank you for watching! 😘

[@valef9460]

Great tutorial, lots of inspiration! Do you seal your lovely art?

[@karinhanson8551]

By using the acrylics, how does that affect the "hand" of the fabric for hand or machine embellishing?

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Depending on the thickness, it can impede stitches.. but you can always use a thin awl…

[@meghanthimjon3027]

Would love to see what you do with the prints!

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Meghan Thimjon Meghan, I will give you some ideas in the next video! 😘

[@olyachelpanova]

Hello Caterina, great job you do, extremely inspiring💖 I have a question, if it is not too troublesome, may you please give me a piece of advice on what journals about mixed-media&art I may get subscribed to? Like the ones you showed in your videos. And it is good to learn about some editions that are available internationally. I am an intermediate artist. Thank you a lot! Olga

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Оля Челпанова Hi dearheart.. thank you so much! My favorite journal and the one I was published in is from Stampington Co. called Art Journaling. There are a range of artists of different levels and kinds of journals. Look them up and see what you think! Thank you for watching! 😘

[@florisabelcastillo7688]

Beaut work! What did you make with the prints?

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Florisabel Castillo Hi dearheart.. I will show you next time ok? 😉

[@chilkakanika1456]

What do you propose to do with these magnificent pieces?

[@CaterinaGiglio]

chilka kanika Sorry it took me so long to respond! I have been reviewing my videos because I thought for sure I shared some of my work using the fabric prints. However, I cannot find it.. 😥 I used a large mono printed cloth to cover a journal and I cut up the graphic printed letters to use in my art journal.. I also used a mono print asa slow stitch cloth... thank you for your patience and for watching and sorry I don’t have a video with the examples.. 😘

[@chilkakanika1456]

Thank you so much Caterina. Actually I was thinking of using these for making a file and to cut parts out and use these on cushion covers as applique! Wish me luck😊. And most important, I do love your videos

[@CaterinaGiglio]

chilka kanika Thank you so much! You can use fabric paints for cushions if you want.. they might not be so stiff and plastic! 😘

[@chilkakanika1456]

Actually I intended to use thicker khadi (our own handloom fabric) for the main body of the cover and patch them with the Gelli prints. And use thick buckram stabiliser for the small files

[@CaterinaGiglio]

chilka kanika That sounds great!

[@cynthiabusic-snyder4617]

What do you do to set the acrylic paint into the fabric?

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Hi Cynthia, are you asking me what I do to make the paint on the cloth permanent?

[@cynthiabusic-snyder4617]

@@CaterinaGiglio yes

[@CaterinaGiglio]

@@cynthiabusic-snyder4617 Well, you do not have to do anything, because the paint is basically plastic and it will adhere nicely to the cloth.

[@rebekahwills5333]

R u printing on the front or back of fabric

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Rebekah Wills Hi Rebekah.. I just print on fabric, without concern of front or back! I just have fun with it! 😘
