[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thanks Sharon! I really love that tagline!

[@SharonPerp]

@@ElizabethStHilaire you should love it, you said it at around 10:12 in. :-) It's just so apropos, and why I love gelli printing so much. Glad I found you here!

Absolutely GORGEOUS!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Creating pastel papers with lots of layers is tricky, we all have a tendency to get too dark. I thought this would be helpful! Thank you very much, Debora.

So glad that you did this!! Need more! The two cameras showed different colors so not sure what the actual color was but still love it!! Thank you! ❤

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Technical issues out of my control. The color is consistent with the overhead.

@@ElizabethStHilaire I fell down a delightful rabbit hole of your videos last evening and now am down the rabbit hole of your gorgeous stencils. I'm brand new to gelli printing, stencils and collage. And I"m hooked. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

@@lasvistasatitlan thanks so very much for the support!! I really appreciate that and I am happy to provide inspiration as I think that is a beautiful gift. Welcome to gel printing! I do have a self study online course if you are interested. www.paperpaintings.com/online-workshops

[@barbaracabrera207]

Great video. Thank you. We were all talking about you in a "P&M Artist Studio" LIVE yesterday. P&M do mostly gel printing. So we were all interested in your channel. It seemed most of us had already seen your videos. It's always good to see how other artists do things. Come join the LIVEs someday. We'd love to have you join us. Sun - 10am TUE&THURS - 3pm. Thanks for the great videos. TFS Austin TX USA

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thanks so much Barbara !

[@KathyBrooksArt]

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Beautiful prints and techniques. Question: I am one who meticulously cleans paint off my stencils; it looks like you let paint dry on stencils - do you find it affects the stencil making contact with the plate? Thanks for everything!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I don’t clean them. If they get thick with paint, I get a new one. !!

[@margaretsummers3712]

Love those layers! Do you ever use zinc white for lightening, since it isn't quite as opaque?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I prefer opaque for this technique. I do not use zinc white, only Titanium! But, that's a personal preference. :) thanks for watching.

[@gingersnaps4194]

Very informative! Love your videos! How often do you clean your gelli plate? And how? I have remnants of a sharpie outline that won’t come off with baby oil.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I don’t worry about the gel plate being dirty! I just pull a print to take off most of the paint and call it done!

[@BlackDogDesigns]

Love your videos! Thank you for sharing💗

[@gingersnaps4194]

@@ElizabethStHilaire I like your style! 😃

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

@@BlackDogDesigns My pleasure!

[@donnacarraway9182]

That sharpie probably bothers you, but probably doesn’t affect the performance of your plate itself. Is that correct? I’m pretty new to this and just wondering if I should be extra careful with sharpies? Thank you!

[@michellespohrer6395]

Great tutorial. I looked for your flower/petal motif stencil, but didn't see it. The Klimt garden pattern is not the same as the one used in the video. Is it possible the one you used is discontinued? Thank you, Elizabeth!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Hi Michelle, I noted below the video in the box with all the links that the stencil was discontinued and I suggested the Klimt Garden would be a good substitute. Thanks!

[@annajavier5712]

I could of used that for my flower, I did have a lot of pink so that was the only one I auditioned my prints for. I liked the pink flower so I will be doing more. I liked the two color printing so when I get the Q purple I’ll be doing one for the bird. After that I’ll be looking on patron for background cause I do have a print I plan to do I even have my larger canvis

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

that's great Anna! thanks so much
