New Texture Plates in action

Creating visual texture need not be a difficult task and it doesn't need expensive equipment, just the willingness to experiment with different paint consistencies and colour combinations.
This is the link to the video where I created the main texture plate used in this video and shared my hints and tips on creating your own unique plates: • Make texture plates fo...

There are only a handful of people on KZbin imho, that can truly create with the jelly plate. You are one of them. I so love the way you explain, and talk thru your thinking as to the whys of what, when and where of stamps and colors. You also magnificently demonstrate that simple handmade stamps are all you really need. Thank you for sharing your heart with a random bunch of strangers.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you for your kind words, I share because it’s my way of lightening the world a little and I want other artists who struggle with their creativity to know that they’re not alone, we all have doubts and little voices that say we’re not good enough. Hopefully I can support and inspire.

[@sarahlongshore2605]

That last one was perfection!!! I love watching you do this. It looks like so much fun!!!!!

[@CeriGriffiths]

I love getting lost in the process.

[@elizabustos7343]

hi Ceri, our friend Gayle uses the wet wipes and paper towels and saves them to use in collgages.

[@CeriGriffiths]

I agree totally and I think as Gayle does recycle hers into her art then that’s a wonderful use of them and she should keep using baby wipes, I just know personally I was using them and throwing them away, so for myself I’ve made the change. As with everything I think it’s fine to use stuff if it can be utilised in another way. Thank you Eliza.

[@LauraMe...]

Oh Ceri, I think you are being too modest! You are becoming quite proficient at gelli printing and the tools that you use. I love these❣ That last one needs to be scanned for certain Ceri. It is fantastic!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Lol.....I can only imagine the amount of ink it would take to print that digital.

[@LauraMe...]

@@CeriGriffiths OH it's so rich and yummy! I have an eco tank printer so I don't worry as much about printing color. It's so much more economical than cartridges.

[@debbiev.1311]

So fun w/ beautiful results!! The last one takes the prize...unexpectedly amazing!!🏆😃

[@CeriGriffiths]

Yup pure magic.

[@susanasilva2737]

You are an angel that fall into my world of wonder to make me a happy crafter. Loved the most the last one. Thanks, Ceri 😊

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thanks so much 😊

[@sandikalin636]

I love these videos so much, that last pull. Oh my goodness!! What a fantastic surprise. Reminded me of a lightning storm. I agree with you, this is one of the reasons I love doing gelli prints, you never know what you’re going to get!!!! Thanks for another great video, Ceri

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Sandi theres more to come I promise.

[@susansteffens4862]

I’m just now watching this one. That lat pull is just stunning 🤩

[@CeriGriffiths]

It was a stunner.

[@digupstuff]

That last one is my favorite!!! I love dark purple! It's my favorite color and I think there's a bit in that one. Plus, I love how it randomly pulled up those wrinkles!!! OMG! They look like rivers on a map! I really dig watching you create these jelly pages! Please make more videos about this kind of art! Plus, I love your voice. It really soothes me. Thanks babe! ♥️🥀🦋🙏😘

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you and yes I loved the results too, I’m planning to try and launch two printing videos per month in the future one will be gelli plate play and one will be playtime with P.M. Artist Studio…..it’s just getting the time to film them all.

[@debbie1016]

All the prints are beautiful. The last one however surprised the heck out of me. That one is a true work of art. It reminds me of a thunder storm. I also see some type of animal too, maybe a dog in the top left of the very end of video image on screen. You can make out the eye, mouth, ears, nose and I would say it's body also. Absolutely stunning.

[@CeriGriffiths]

I must admit I was as surprised as the rest of you. That was just magic.

[@CeriGriffiths]

The last one was amazing I wish I could do that regularly. Thank you

[@Maria-k0]

Wow! What a transformation you’ve made on all those prints. But have to say the last pull was truly magnificent! I’ll be practicing these. Thanks! 😊

Great prints and that last one you did . . . drama²! Thanks for sharing. Love&hugs to you and Biscuit. I hope you have a delightful day.

Thank you Darcy, Biscuits in a sulk this morning as its tipping down with rain and doesn’t understand why he can’t got out for a walk….he did go to the beach for two hours yesterday but he’s already forgotten that. ❤️

Aw, poor Biscuit.

[@izzie-digs-in]

I think all your plates are fantastic. The gold you started for Mariah is my favorite. And there is no getting around the dramatic lightning bolts. Your pronunciation of the quinacradone... word I can't spell is spot on. And, I'm still on the Modge Podge train. Also Miss P pronounces that Modge Podge. I hope you hear her. I enjoy this videos so much. ☺💕

[@janetsinnott737]

Loved the last one you did, it certainly doesn’t need anything else.

[@CeriGriffiths]

I love it too.

[@melindacorley7091]

Ceri, as usual the prints came out very well, especially the last one-my favorite. By the way, I read in a couple of places that the swatch of color with the black bars, on the top part of the front of the label on the Golden bottles, is the indicator of whether the color is opaque, transparent, or semi-transparent. I understand these swatches are hand-painted so if there is a difference between tubes, that is why. This is supposed to indicate the final dried color. Anyway, I thought that was interesting enough to share. I hope Biscuit is enjoying the outdoors. Many blessings to all!!!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you.

[@laurabenns]

Amazing, love the vertical (or horizontal!) lines 🎉🎉

Sharon you are right if only I could replicate that but that’s the magic of gelli printing.

You’re welcome Janet.

[@XenobiaF]

I’m delighted to see you using a damp cloth. Mine get stained, but I only use them for crafting. At the end of the day, I toss them into a load of laundry.

[@CeriGriffiths]

That’s exactly what I do now, I can’t eliminate my use of wet wipes totally however I can reduce their use considerably.

[@XenobiaF]

@@CeriGriffiths There are times when a damp cloth just isn’t enough!

Should have showed us the tissue paper one too in the final reveal. Good papers!! Especially the last one.

Thank you

So many beautiful prints! I think the Orange Pop and that absolutely stunning last one were my favorites! Just in case you are taking votes! ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Oh I’m with you on both of those choices.

A relaxing way to spend an evening after a long hectic work week. Your video is chocked full of inspiration! My top two would be your final pull (need I say gorgeous!!) and your sheet that started out with shades of purple. Thank you so much, Ceri. xx

Bee-utiful Ceri!!! My used wipes, drier sheets, and color catchers become Flowers for my art. I don't have a washer or I'd use more rags. I totally agree it really is great when you can use your own art in your project. And then it's a good idea if you want to make digital kids too. 🐞

Pretty darned fantastic is right! Love them all! I made texture stamps years ago, but on small bases. I love the idea of making them in the 12 x 12 size! The last one is my favorite as well.

Great video Ceri - your texture plates are wonderful. Loved that last pull especially and the one that you said was like orange pop - it reminded me of Lucozade! But really all that you achieved was superb. :)

Sooo beautiful Ceri. I don't comment often (but "like" every one I watch) because I watch on my TV as I craft along. QUESTION....I didn't see or hear and answer, I know this is from 2 years ago but hopefully you remember.....do you have a how to video on how to make the prints that you flip through in this video, the ones you just added to them? I'd love to make some just like those to just use as backgrounds in my journal. Thank you for any help you can give. Hugs from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

Hola. Es sencillamente, brutal. Muchas gracias por enseñarnos nuevas técnicas. El plato de qué material es? Y has intentado usar papel de burbujas para texturas al imprimir los diseños? Yo lo uso. Y has intentado usar disolventes? Yo a veces uso agua y alcohol entre entintado y entintado para generar efectos. Un saludo grande desde Colombia y un abrazo fraterno. Gracias gracias.

[@cathybrodie5721]

Fantastic video Ceri. Just wondering, what paper do you print on? Copy paper? Or something else? Thanks

[@CeriGriffiths]

I normally print on light card stock but I also print on tissue paper for collage, truth be told I’ll print on anything that won’t tear when I pull a print.

[@youtubechannel9190]

I'm totally fascinated watching your wonderful process! I definitely will try this. What paper do you use and does it come in the 12x12 size. I just got the 12x14 gel plate. Do you think think that's too big to make these plates?

[@CeriGriffiths]

I always say you can make small pieces of art on a large plate but you can’t make large pieces of art on a small plate, I use a 12x12 plate because at the time it was the largest my budget would stretch to but I now have plates in many sizes and use my 5x7 just as much as I use my 12x12. I use 12x12 paper or card stock which here in the UK I can buy as a blank pad, if you wish to make 12x12 on your larger plate then make sure you have other smaller pieces of card or paper around to make use of the edges of your painted surface that way you’ll be creating more than one piece at a time.

[@sharonromer6606]

What would happen if you misted the drying plate with water or alcohol?

[@CeriGriffiths]

I’m not sure, maybe I’ll try that in one of the videos, I have a feeling the paper would absorb the water, ripple and possibly tear when I tried to lift it but I’ll have a go if I remember. Thank you Sharon.
