Tips for Complex Layering on the Gel Plate-Tutorial Tidbits

Announcing my NEW Dorothy Series set of ten layering dots and spots stencils. I designed these stencils to be layered with each other and with stencils and masks that have larger patterns and bigger openings. Combining and layering patterns is my secret to complex gel prints. Join Barb from Joggles Mixed Media Art Supply and I, broadcasting from Sedona, AZ with some FUN ways to use the NEW Dorothy Series of spots and dots!

Well I got 3 and can’t wait for my happy mail. I’m working on a new cancer book so the circles will work great with the new book. Thanks so much for a great demo

Thanks for being here Caryn!! And I appreciate the support

[@happycluck4163]

These look so fun! I'm glad you cleared up my confusion about the Dorothy connection. I kept thinking Wizard of Oz Dorothy and gingham. I was wondering about the dot connection. BTW, I have a sweet hen (she's a Blue Splash Maran chicken) named Dottie. All the more reason to buy these great new stencils! I love your tutorial tidbit videos. Thank you so much for making and sharing so generously!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Dot is a nick name for Dorothy :) Yes ALL the more reason for the stencils with Dottie the Blue Splash Maran chicken! How fun. My pleasure with the videos, I appreciate your support in purchasing the stencils!

[@susansteffens4862]

Loved this tutorial! I haven’t had my gel played out in about five or six months, and had fun doing this one. I used what I had on hand stencil, wise, and paint wise and loved my results. The only thing was my turquoise color paint was not cooperating and coming up with the darker translucent blue, but other than that fun exercise,

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Teal has a decent amount of titanium white in it, and white, always likes to hang onto the plate a little bit longer than other colors. Try using more pressure with your hands and letting the paper sit there for a little bit longer so the paint can grab onto it!

[@susansteffens4862]

@@ElizabethStHilaire Thank you, I finallygot it to work! I loved the results. Can't wait to get my plate out again over this long weekend!

@@susansteffens4862 fantastic!!

[@allisonjames2923]

Cool stencils & techniques, especially the spray stain soak. Unfortunately Joggles seems to have run out of almost all the stencils I like though & that is an awful lot of stencils! 😢

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

just click the "notify me" button and they will let you know when they are back in stock. they are GREAT about restocking fast and getting back to you!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I just checked and mine used in this tutorial are ALL still in stock.

[@BelindaPort]

Lovely set of dots! You often talk about the protective cover you use on your table, that can be bought by the meter from Joggles. What is the name of that protective sheet, please?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Sure Sarah! shrsl.com/23tux

Where do you get the rice paper you use in several videos? Is there something similar to it sold on Amazon?

Fantastic video! I can’t seem to find Pyrol red light in the Amsterdam series . Can you tell me the the name or number of the red Amsterdam acrylic? Not sure if I heard right . Thank you

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Hi it was part of a large boxed set of Amsterdam paint from Joggles, pyrolle red. We had it there on site for filming but I don’t have it in my possession now. Joggles sells it: shrsl.com/3s9o4 just look for Pyrolle Red. :)

[@michellehoward96]

@@ElizabethStHilaire thank you

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

@@michellehoward96 sure!

[@arleenaartvark1141]

I love the metallic design that Barb did but instead of dye sprays, what could I use instead? Would Acrylics soak though the back of the paper (I don’t want reactivation of the sprays for use in collage, hence could you recommend maybe fluid acrylics for ex, please?).

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I would put a small spray pump top directly into Golden High Flow and follow the same steps! OR water down fluid acrylic and brush it through the back.

[@arleenaartvark1141]

@@ElizabethStHilaire that’s a great idea- you meant putting the high flow acrylics into a spray pump bottle and spraying through the back (instead of the dye spray) right? Thanks so much ! 💗

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

@@arleenaartvark1141 yes, but I would just get a travel size spray bottle snd add the sprayer directly into the high flow bottle. Then just clean the sprayer nozzle and you still have your paint in the bottle!

[@debbieweicht3139]

I have a question… since many of the sprays are reactivated with water, do you find it a problem when gluing them to your collage?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I don’t use the sprays, Barb uses them for different projects

[@sandyfranklin1123]

Are the sprays stable?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I’m not sure, I believe they are dye based

[@LavishHim]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🎨 goody!

What. The heck are we suppose to do with all these prints
