I love having coffee with you every morning !!! I sip, you teach your tutorial tidbits. I thank you 💜💜💜

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

It’s just like being neighbors! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your positivity

[@gaylehurd727]

Elizabeth, you ROCK!!! You teaching is spot on. I learn about printmaking and teaching while watching you. You are a gift!

Thanks Gayle! I have several online courses as well, PaperPaintings.com

Love to watch you. You are so talented. Keep on teaching us. Thank you

Thank so much Sally!

[@TitianTopsyTurvy]

You're such a terrific teacher Elizabeth... your teaching and the heat was conspiring against you here wasn't it! And yet you still triumph with gorgeous prints 👌 I adore Klimt and your designs beautifully evoke his art... I wish it was easier (and cheaper) to buy from across the pond but it will be worth it to get my paws on those sweet stencils/masks (I'm thinking Xmas present from my hubby).

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

The heat was a challenge! You have to work fast and use mire paint when it’s hot. Thanks for your kind words, he is my favorite! I hope you can get the whole collection!

[@amyvetter1830]

thank you for talking about transparency, value, tones and how you layer, I don't get that from other You tube gel printers.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

You’re welcome. I’m an experienced teacher. I have an online Gel Printing workshop too, PaperPaintings.com

Gorgeous color combos! I picked up the whole Klimt collection from Joggles and I'm looking forward to using them. I got a roll of the rice paper that you recommend, and these patterns will work well window or door shade.

Yes they will! Great, thanks so much for the support!

Hi E, Thanks for your demos. I didn't see the Klimt leaves stencil on the Joggles site. Is it there somewhere?

it's right there! :) www.joggles.com/stencils/joggles-elizabeth-st-hilaire-stencils-and-masks/joggles-elizabeth-st-hilaire-the-klimt-collection-stencil-leaves-75013.htm

[@svanwyk51]

Elizabeth, I've had no luck at all with the rice paper (I know, smooth side down)...invariably the paper pulls off onto the gel plate. I'm using deli paper instead...But I just love the Klimt stencils. Thank you!!!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Use more paint and work a bit faster to avoid sticking. Deli paper works just fine but just remember that tends to cockle in the collage process

[@frederiquedelmonte7115]

Dear Elizabeth. Waouw! ... but does there exist, please, a possibility to get those beautiful Klint masks (10 pieces) in/to Belgium? I adorrrrre them. Kisses from Brussels. 🧜‍♀️

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Unfortunately we cannot sell them at all to any country in the EU due to tax and import requirements that are just too restrictive for a small family owned company with minimal employees to be able to manage. You can use a freight forwarder, and that information is on Joggles website under shipping information. I wish I had better news

[@wendyapple7060]

Fantastic tutorial, as always! When applying water to the rice paper to make the paint soak through - do you do that after the paint layer dries?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thanks! The front is dry immediately when gel printing.

[@picaza2]

Loved this! What is the difference between a stencil and a mask?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

In a stencil the pattern is formed by the cut out spaces. In a mask the pattern is formed by the plastic itself. Negative versus positive!

[@giovannainfante4259]

Why I can’t find your stencil’s collection on Italian Amazon shop? I want them!!! 😍😍😍

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

They are only sold by Joggles.com Not Amazon. And they will not shipped to the EU because of the VAT tax

[@minnahumble2294]

Beautiful, as usual. You said the golden colors are opaque, but did you mean that? The label has bars showing thru the color which usually indicates it’s transparent.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Some are opaque, others are not.

[@jolienkrispijn]

That was a great video again, Thank you Elisabeth! Going to try and get those stencils too (I'm in Europe, but getting help from a friend in the US). And I was happily surprised to see you seem to be wearing a dress I also have. It's gorgeous!!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Oh wow!!! Great minds have great taste! I’m so sorry I missed this comment previously

[@jolienkrispijn]

@@ElizabethStHilaire don't worry!! Really cool that you came back to it. And yes we both like colour, a lot!! People are telling me it's a bit too much pattern to have it on my trousers and in a shirt and I'm like: do you think that bothers me? 😂

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

@@jolienkrispijn First of all people should mind their own business and only say things if they have kind things to say. Didn’t our mothers teach us that if we didn’t have something nice to say we shouldn’t say anything at all? And, no we don’t care what anyone else thinks. If we did care what other people thought we would be wearing plain trousers with plain shirts! You have just made my day!

[@jolienkrispijn]

@@ElizabethStHilaire haha we haven't learned thar here. The Dutch can be very nosy people 😂 but I have learned that by myself, to just say nothing if i have nothing to contribute 😻 And yessss, colours and patterns are cool, the more the merrier and we just don't care ❤️ life is too short to bother,, yay!

Hi Elizabeth. You’re my favorite pass time 😊. Couyou have used the metallics as the first layer ?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Awe thanks so much I really appreciate that. YES you sure could and I often do,..,. they shine through everything nicely! Great minds...

[@morningdewgarden7432]

I tried doing a series of collage papers using these stencils and colors and I'm sorry to say that they turned out.... not great! I decided to break down (out my wallet) and purchase a whole bunch of Golden fluid paints. I was trying to use other brands that I had to thin down a bit and the results were not good! I'll try again when my new paints arrive and I'm sure that they will turn out beautifully!!!! Thanks so much for all of your videos! I have learned soo much from them and your books!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

The key to successful gel printing is layering! And lots of practice. Yes, Golden paints are the best!

[@morningdewgarden7432]

@@ElizabethStHilaire I'm doing more today using some paints I've had for awhile to get rid of them. I can't wait for my new Goldens to arrive!!! I AM new at the gel plate and the gel plate is new and is getting a lot of "skips" in color from the release of oils. I guess that will subside soon. I won't give up this process though. It's so much fun! I love playing with color!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

@@morningdewgarden7432 tons of fun! Yes the “blooming” will subside in a little bit after you break it in. Happy printing!

[@marianhansenkaucheck8262]

Thanks so much for your video tidbits! My pack of Klimt Stencils just arrived. Question - I ordered Golden paints and got the High Flow Acrylics vice the Fluid Acrylics. Will you (or someone) please tell me if the High Flow acrylics will work? I can't wait to get started!! Many thanks.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

High flow are VERY wet and tend to ooze under the stencils. I think they will frustrate you.

I'm learning so much from you--thank you! Your technique here is so simple yet turns out so gorgeous. Question: I have a VERY limited space to work in, and am using only 5x7 gelli plates. Will your masks/stencils ever come out in a smaller size for smaller plates? For now, I'm off to buy some Golden copper...!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I’m super glad Leslie! I have online courses as well, PaperPaintings.com. No, we keep all the stencils and masks in 9x12 with Joggles.

[@KnitWitNY]

I love your videos! Thank you so much. At the risk of asking a silly question I am not understanding the difference between a mask and a stencil. I do understand in principle, but, it seems that the designs you are using could be categorized as either one. Could you take moment and explain the difference? Thank you kindly.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

No worries Debora, a MASK the design is formed by the plastic. A STENCIL the design is formed by the holes cut in the plastic. it's that simple!

[@KnitWitNY]

Thanks for the quick response! I am now watching another of your videos "Big Giant Gel Prints-Tutorial Tidbits" where you answer my question at about the 16 minute mark. LOL

I love your stencils and was excited to purchase some so went the Joogles website. I put 59.00 worth in my cart and was quoted a shipping cost of 25.00 to 55.00 US depending on how fast I wanted it to arrive. Just not doable with that and the exchange and possibly customs. I was so disappointed.
