Starting Gelli Printing on Fabric Part1

In Part 1 of this video I cover the basics of printing on fabric using acrylic paints and textile base to make background fabric. These can be used as they are or transformed in patterned fabrics, which will be demonstrated in part 2 of this video.
Products used in this video are:
Golden Open Acrylic Paint : Transparent Red Oxide, Indian Yellow Hue www.goldenpaints.com/products...
Aquatex Base

Very interesting. Love projects that are simple but get such great results!

[@leonieandrewsart4137]

Thanks Mandy! I hope you can try it soon.

Love your thorough presentation.

[@leonieandrewsart4137]

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. It can be a bit of a challenge to balance giving thorough treatment without boring people to death.😊

Inspired to have a quick look the the art supplies. I have fabric paint - this would be OK to use too? There is also textile medium and fabric paint extender, so I can mix and match.

[@leonieandrewsart4137]

Absolutely use the fabric paint. That shouldn't need either medium, but if your paint needs some loosening up that would be the ticket. You can definitely mix and match.

Oh, that is fabulous. Does the textile medium keep the paint from getting stiff? I like the print, but I’m In love with the wide ribbon and the wipe-off cloth. Nothing goes to waste! Wonderful! Looking forward to seeing more.

[@leonieandrewsart4137]

Hi Mara! Thank you so much. The fabric medium does stop the fabric from getting stiff. I do wash my fabric and that also helps. There is a separate video on washing etc.

Thanks for watching and apologies for not replying sooner.

Does stabilizing fabric with freezer paper help with better coverage?

[@leonieandrewsart4137]

I haven't tried freezer paper, it's ludicrously expensive in Australia as it's not a common household product here. If you look at some of my more recent videos you will see that I have been using a 'weight' on my prints. That is the most consistent in giving me good contact results. Also apologies for not responding to your comment sooner. KZbin has not been showing me comments in my feed 😕

Pls give some information on the gelling plate

[@leonieandrewsart4137]

Hi Sunita, the gelli plate I use is a commercial product which I bought online. The material is some type of silicone plastic. You can also make your own gelli plate from gelatin, just search for "make your own gelli plate" on KZbin. There are lots of videos showing how to do it. Home made plates work just fine. They do need to be kept in the refrigerator.

Is the “ textile base” GAC?

[@leonieandrewsart4137]

Hi Lee, I have no idea what GAC is, is that a commercial product? I have used a number of different companies 'textile mediums' purchased at my local art store. All work equally well. The paints and medium I used are listed in the video notes. In this case I used Aquatex Base , which is a fabric screen printing base.
