[@WendysJournalAdventure]

I’m loving this series Tracie, so creative and educational. Thank you for all your positive creative energy ❤️

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thank you hun...It nice to revisit some of my loved artists and the techniques I used to teach. We used plastic and glass matts in collage, well sheets of glass but it is a lot easier with the gelli plate for sure. Xxx

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

@@TracieFoxCreative well you continue to be a source of inspiration for me sweet friend ❤️❤️

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Wendy's Journal Adventure Thank you, As are you sweetheart xx

I love it! Geli printing is so much fun. The textures you used are awesome. Thanks for sharing 😍🌴

[@brendastaley3993]

Wow!! Loving how these are turning out! Your giving me ideas on how I can add more texture to my work. Think it's time to go junking! Thanks much for the inspiration 👍🏽

[@SabrinaOreskovicCraftySabby]

This was so much fun to watch, brought back a lot of memories from art school. Thank you so much for sharing the process. xx

[@margaretcomella3318]

So fun!! I can't wait to try this! TFS!

[@jackielubeck]

I love these kind of art lessons. Keep going. And thx. Jackie

[@pauletteliddell2923]

This was like the days when I did things like this when I made papers with my kids and grandkids and with my daycare class. It was so much fun. I have three great-grandchildren and we do this too. They love it. Thank you.

I swear you have the most ladylike sneeze I've ever heard. When I sneeze, the astronauts on the Space Station turn to each other and say, "What was that?????"

[@MinxysStudioUK]

😂😂

[@rhondalaine9428]

Hi Ruth, totally agree with you on Tracie's laldylike sneeze.....yep when I sneeze the whole house shakes....I swear one of these days the roof will cave in.....🤣🤣🥰🤗

[@alicesullivan1790]

My sister and one of my friends sneeze exactly the same. I think my sister developed the sneeze in protest over our mother's sonic boom sneeze, which she demonstrated frequently during her hay fever allergy season. Eardrum bursting!

[@angiegarciaart]

[@kathyanderson4126]

VERY inspiring ways to use the gelli plate other than the normal laying down paint and pulling it up! You are a wonderful, imaginative teacher!

[@jinglesh1398]

Bless you! BEAUTIFUL

[@carollaws838]

such an up beat video, loved watching you create the different textures, fab Tracie xx

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@artymaze]

Absolutely brilliant , so nice to hear about the history of the technique too, I will definitely be trying some this month as I am using household objects for mark making on the Rolodex. Xx

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Perfect! Thanks for watching x

[@susanboyter9034]

I thought so too

[@Lisa3m]

So in love with this technique. You’ve given me new ideas to use with my texture items.

[@susanboyter9034]

I love to gelli print to led zeppelin music and just Robert plant. You guys have some terrific home grown bands.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Oh I would work to all sorts, including Flatliners, AC/DC, Kooks, All American Rejects...LOL.

[@siobhanirish1307]

Soooooooofantastic!! I love the colors you put together...I love every single "page" and can't wait to see what you do with them! I love that Indigo color on the last page you show...to me it looks like an Xray of some ancient manuscript...perfect!!!

[@suebishop6071]

Ooh I loved this TY x

[@alicesullivan1790]

TRACIE, I love you and your prodigious artistic talent. What a ton of super ideas for making backgrounds. One day soon, I'll be trying out some of the zillions of ingenious techniques you have so generously taught and demonstrated. You blow away the saying I have always disliked, "Those who can - do; those who can't - teach." Or whatever that dumb saying is. I was a training manager, so I've observed and critiqued many instructors from many different fields: technical, interpersonal communications, administrative, etc. Trust me, you are an exceptionally skilled instructor. I'm not an artist, but, as many say, I know what I like - and I love your art. Be safe and well, and the same for your friends, family, and cat. Alice in SC US.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Sweetheart this is wonderful to read and I think you so very much for making me smile this morning :-D You stay safe too hun and THANK YOU again xx

[@jjjoy7887]

Gotta love process art - the gelli is so much fun!

[@jennygee9849]

this is my idea of FUN...all that texture, drool drool :) I would not have thought to put the texture underneath, I usually put it onto the gel plate..My last gel play I printed onto old music roll paper & got 1st place at the show for the card I entered and had sooooo much fun making a big mess:)

[@sherryvanderpool4024]

Love painting on packaging

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

lovely sleeves today!

[@katmarj2937]

This was great! These papers have so many uses. Can’t wait to try this. I feel inspired. I like the art lesson aspect as well. TFS

[@debbiecarter6430]

Also, I loved the moment where the fire screen suddenly appeared! 😁

[@TracieFoxCreative]

I thought it would be fun to try...It worked beautifully with pastels, not so great with the paint x

[@rhondacalderone862]

I ordered a gelli plate yesterday and I can't wait until it comes! I will be looking at everything in the house for some kind of texture! LOL

[@helensalo9810]

Loved this video lots!❤️thanks for the inspiration. When you pulled off the built up paint it reminded me of a Jackson Pollock😊

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Ohhhh I had a whole lesson on Pollock...I have a few paintings on the wall the kits did :-D

[@MinxysStudioUK]

Love, love, LOVE this video. Thank you for the little art and history of these techniques lesson, it was very enjoyable. I loved the wallpaper effect, that was a clever idea using those like that. I got some wallpaper samples online just before christmas but I got them with the intentions of using them as journal covers lol xx

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Hehe I used some great wallpaper for a cover once, faux leather. I said in the video that I ordered after watching a Seth Apter demo but then I removed the sound LOL. X. It was a fab idea x

[@susanboyter9034]

I love to do messy yummy mark making. May be one of my favorite things

[@KariGibsonArt]

These are great, I love that you used that packaging paper, it is lovely stuff!

[@paperpuddles]

That was so fun to watch. I have never seen the need for a gelli plate until today. I'm actually headed to the craft store now to pick one up. You got such cool designs by using all the different tools. It'll be exciting to go through my house and find what I can use to add different designs and textures. 🦋

[@TracieFoxCreative]

You can use your glass Matt or plastic or glass...That is how I used to do it but the Gelliplate is fab x

[@paperpuddles]

@@TracieFoxCreative 🦋 I couldn't find a store locally that sells the gel plates so I ordered one from Amazon being delivered tomorrow. I do have the Tim Holtz glass mat so I will experiment with that today. Thanks for that tip. 🌹

[@TracieFoxCreative]

YES...use your glass Matt, you will get a different texture to your paint its fab too! You can really load the paint onto glass and get a great texture when you lift. Xx Enjoy it hun xxx

[@Dagmar194913]

Wow is right!❤️🇨🇦

I just found a large gelli plate on clearance at Hobby Lobby....I am so excited to start playing with it...this looks like soooooo much fun!!! Thanks for the inspiration Tracie! ❤️

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Ohhhh You will be like me and become addicted. I always said I didnt need one lol. Now its on my desk so much, Its taken root! Xx

[@susanboyter9034]

I bought 2 of them so my granddaughter can do it with me. For like 13.99 or some ridiculously low price it's like a 12 by 12 right I think

I spent a few pounds but I now know the ones that work and dont so might need more soon lol x

absolutely luv this, now I need a mat and roller (might get hold of my grandkids primary school and see if they have any of the old ones in storage) cos the cheapest I can find is like $80ish here in nz

Very fun. I wonder if this would work over an embossing folder? I might have to try that. Great ideas. Thank you. 👍❤️

Just amazing, Tracie. Where were you when I was at school. I'm definitely going to try them all! Thankyou so much. Veronica.

when you sneezed I half expected you to work the tissue into a collage! 😅 just binge watched 3 or 4 of your junk journal vids before this (enjoyed them very much! 💖)

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Oh thank you!

[@blancaplasenciacorrea9896]

Muchas gracias, por la idea, el resultado es espectacular, eres muy creativa y me encanta la idea de usar lo que tenemos por casa para crear las páginas, pero que pasa si no tienes gelly plate?....Un abrazo. Bendiciones

[@karenkettering1725]

I was able to figure out what your tiles are! They are samples (two for free with no shipping!) from the paintable line!

[@karansimoni5715]

Another brilliant video Traci! So I’m here in Florida with my art friend Danita. I bought a beautiful 1960’s satin wedding gown yesterday. I’m going to deconstruct it and we are going to try this technique with pieces of the satin and the veils. I’m wondering if we shouldn’t use inks instead. I’m worried the pigment in the paint will dull the sheen of the satin. But I really want to try it! Thanks for the inspiration. I’m loving this series of videos!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Oh that would be amazing. x

[@sherryrector2275]

Very interesting. If I don’t have a gel plate could I use a plated glass. I think I’m going to try it. Another thing to add to my list of want to try. Lol never enough time but this looks rather fast as the colors and textures are the basis for the art work later.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Yes you can...I used glass before the plate x

[@midnightlizard1733]

This looks like a lot of fun, I’m definitely going to try it. The blue print you liked is also the one I liked the best. Wondering what is the name of the color of paper artsy paint you used for that?

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Midnight is the darker blue and the lighter one I think is Lagoon x

[@nellsinnock867]

Hi there, Tracie! I am so enjoying watching something I have never seen before......SUCH wonderful results so far! I was just wondering, would this technique work with regular stamps? I know they would have to be simple images rather than little fiddly text or design, but I thought that could add another texture to pieces that are already looking really great!!! What do you think? Hey, I just thought of another possibility. How about stencils?? Even just one of those that have the different size circles or ovals?? (to paint onto the jelli plate)

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Yes it will work but then it is covered by copyright and the paper you use will determine how well it works. These are my backgrounds, I will be adding to an art journal so I dont want to fully decorate all the pages!. I have worked on these more since the video x x

[@TracieFoxCreative]

I have my own hand drawn stencils that I have used on my gelli prints x

[@nellsinnock867]

@@TracieFoxCreative Geepers, I totally didn't think of that.....oh well, not such a genius idea afterall.....😁 Anyway, I really admired all the different results you got with all those cool textures and paint combos, and the ones that you pressed on the plate itself were ESPECIALLY cool and interesting!!😊😎 Have a super blessed week my dear!!!
