I like the mark msking on top of the pattern tissues.

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Yes that came out well I liked that one too 😀

[@pambell6403]

Would LOVE a video on making the dyed papers, especially avocado.

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Great 👍 I will start saving my avocado 🥑 stones 😀

[@janspenno2241]

Lovely to watch. It’s all personal but the one I find least attractive is the comb. I’m really dying to try these techniques! Thankyou

[@susanmccreevyartist]

It’s important to notice the mark making we enjoy visually, if you use them often these become like your own hand writing ✍️ enjoy exploring your own visual language Jane 😀❤️

[@janspenno2241]

@@susanmccreevyartist I think it’s the uniformity. I must be a rebel. I have just watched your second video and actually your comb prints cut up were lovely. It’s definitely the vision. Fabulous. Thankyou

I got my gelli plate out today and had my first attempt at making some papers. I realize I need a larger area to work, but I loved it.

[@susanmccreevyartist]

That’s great to hear! It can get messy very quickly lol 😂

[@funkyllamalady]

I would be very interested to see how you dye your papers. I love all the inspiration i get from your vlogs. Although my husband is now convinced i'm going a little mad cos I went scouring my local pound shop for things to make interesting marks on my gelli plate with lol 🤣

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Ha ha my other half brought me back a silicon scraper from Svalsberg the most northern town in the world! Because he’d seen me searching in Tesco for one to use on my gelli plate 😂 now that’s devotion for you 💗💗💗

[@avanellehansen4525]

I have bought food just for the packaging! 😂 i keep my 3-D found objects in a big Tupperware bin under the table.

[@ashleymulkey]

I love your videos! At about the 9 minute mark, it looks like you are using a pane of glass. Is that what you're using or is it a gelli plate?

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Hi there, it’s a sheet of Perspex glass would work fine too though 👌

[@CynthiaTrombley-jz9dh]

Hi Susan, I commented the other day about my friend's gelli plate being sticky. She said it is a Stampendous creative palette monoprinting plate. The instructions suggested adding gel medium to the paint. I know I did not add that when I had done it in the past. I'm sorry- you had kindly replied to my comments but I'm not sure where that conversation went. Is it in my e-mails or does itjust disappear after a short time? Thanks for your help. Cynthia

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Hi Cynthia, you should be able to scroll down and find it in the messages here or search youtube in your emails? I haven’t tried that brand I am afraid and haven’t used gel medium to stop a plate being sticky. Gel Press and Gelli Arts are brands that I have tried and they both work really well for the processes that I use. Hope the gel medium helps with your plate, it’s worth a try if that is what they suggest, or return it if it is not fit for the purpose it is designed for. Susan x

[@kateives1274]

Thank you for your inspirational video! So many new techniques to try!! 😊 Do you wash the stamps straight away and do they come clean??

[@susanmccreevyartist]

If you are talking about the little plastic ones, they washed clean. I keep a bucket of water beside me and throw things in there until I’m ready to go to the sink. The ones on card I don’t put in the sink, I just let the paint dry on them

[@kateives1274]

@@susanmccreevyartist Thank you. Yes, I meant the little plastic ones 😄 I wasn’t sure if the ink/paint would clog them up but now I know what to do. I treat my stencils the same way to avoid the paint drying on them. The little plastic stamp made such interesting patterns - I may have to buy one or two 😆

[@susanmccreevyartist]

They didn’t clog up, if you left them to dry completely that might have been an issue though. The bucket of water in the studio is the key to success!
