There have certainly been uncountable downsides to the pandemic, Ceri, but there are also some profound benefits and your YT videos are one of them -- so glad you decided to share your art-making with the rest of the world -- you are always *always* inspiring ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you, yes the virus did change my life.

You are such a good communicator, Ceri, and an all-around wonderful human being. THANKS!

Wow, thank you Susan

Great video, Ceri! So honored to have been included in the examples! And of course now I have the itch to Gelli print. 😂. Love and hugs to you, dear friend! ❤️

Lol….its always gelli printing time in my craft cave.

[@evypetre949]

Gayle please do! I love Mixed Medium Monday. ❤️❤️❤️

[@em......]

Everything you cover (boxes, books, big bad bald Bob on a block etc) you make look as though you bought it that way! I am so messy when I do things that you can tell I did it myself, haha. You're an inspiration. Thank you for the tips. Hugs from Australia

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you and as long as you’re having fun that’s all that matters.

[@ludmilaschicchi8278]

I have a ton of gel prints just sitting around because I didn’t really know what to do with them. Thank you for your experiences. I love all your examples ❤

[@cyndisue2457]

Hi Ceri! I'm delighted to have finally found you! I started watching junk journal videos around 18 months ago, largely in response to the lock downs and the need to find entertainment that WASN'T another mindless television program or movie. I slowly started making simple journals a little over a year ago, and now enjoy following Angela Kerr, Tracie Fox, Andrea Allen, Carol Parker, and Gi Kerr, to name a few super talented people, and making journals along with them. I recently watched a month-long collaboration in which one of the crafters mentioned Gayle A. Always eager to learn from another expert, I started watching her about 6 weeks ago - isn't she a treasure? A couple times she mentioned her dear friend Ceri, but didn't spell the name. So off I went in search of Kerry, Cary, Kari, etc., etc. and eventually gave up, thinking that maybe you were part of an exclusive club. Imagine my surprise when a couple days ago, after Gayle 's video ended, one of your videos began to play! I was delighted to finally discover Ceri the Crafter, and have been binge watching your channel ever since! You are such a delight! I was deeply moved by your July 4th video and was deeply moved by it, and heartsick and sad about the whole experience. Gun rights vs. gun control is such a powder keg issue in the US ( no pun intended) and although I sort of understand both sides of the issue, what I know for sure is that along with the right to own a gun should go the responsibility to use it wisely. Also I agree with you that it is impossible to understand why anyone in a "civilized" society needs to own a military grade weapon. This is madness, but I'm just one small voice. All I can add is that I'm terribly sad & sorry that America showed you its uglier side, and ruined your vacation. Thanks for your lovely tutorials! I'm a subscriber now, and look forward to your next video! Be well!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Cyndi, you’ve been watching some fabulous creators and I’m so happy you found Gayle, yes she’s a treasure, and welcome to my channel. Yes the 4th July incident was impactful on my life but at the end of the day it was just a vacation for me and not the life changing day it was for those involved. I’m pleased you like my videos and hope you will continue to like them in the future. Thank you once again and welcome to my channel.

Fantastic video, Ceri! It seems Gel-Plate printing is in vogue again and I L ❤️ V E it! You are so right about grabbing folks attention. Last I read, if you can hold a person's attention on KZbin for the first 30 seconds you've managed a big hurtle. Your videos are always riveting. Many thanks!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Fabulous

[@00800su]

Wow, Ceri, I just discovered this video and smiled from start to finish at the pleasure you took in showing us your prolific, varied prints! And the "I love my gel prints!" lovingly thrown in. Beautiful work, attention to detail, and such fantastic, helpful ideas. When you cut circles or leaves: they'd also make a pretty mobile, or string along with fairy lights to decorate a party place. In which case, metallic and pearlescent paint would be eye catching at night. Thank you

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much, great ideas.

[@LavishHim]

[@michelel3372]

Great ideas, Ceri! Even for those of us who haven't ventured into Gel prints yet. These ideas are wonderful for using up some of our left over papers and cardstock. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Definitely and theres plenty of napkins and printed tissue on the market at the moment that you could utilise.

[@gypsydesigns4you722]

Thank you for sharing those great ideas with all of us. Your Geli prints are fabulous. I especially liked the idea of using them for each section of the TN. Yours was beautiful.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you, art is part of my life and having them in my planner helps to remind me that I am an artist and my work is worthy

[@sherryleggett1612]

Wow, I wouldn’t have thought about using them for photo backgrounds. I would have never considered putting a complicated print on top of a complicated print. When you flipped it to the white side it really was a stunning difference. I’m going to use that idea for sure. thanks

I have to laugh because I was so excited telling people about gel press printing and the most common response was, "so what can you do with the paper" and now I have a beautiful video to inspire them. Great collection of ideas. I'm personally looking forward to using papers for bead making. Thank you for sharing.

[@CeriGriffiths]

I’ve played with embossing my prints but as yet not been inspired to make anything with them. Thank you Miranda

[@marnyr9610]

Thank you for this talk Ceri, it was very interesting. For me I'm confused about the matt medium, I'm relatively new to this, it appears to be used like a glue and a sealer, and if is should be put over everything at the end to seal it. I've only just recently started to make journals and love it and all the creativity that goes with it, now I really want to try gelli printing, there are just so many fun possibilities.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you, Matt medium is used exactly as you mentioned although there are many brands and types, I normally use it for my mixed media pieces and collage, I’m not sure I use it for my journalling other than using it for covers………..but in saying that I use it when I feel its required.

I’m fairly new to gelli 19:52 printing and collage and having a hard time distinguishing when I should use a certain paper and what they are best for so thank you. Right now I’m going to look to see if you have a video on your travel notebook. I was thinking of making sections to send to my granddaughter who lives in Texas and then at some point be able to combine those into a book, so your travel notebook seems like a place to clarify that idea for me.
