Because of you,I just had to go to a charity shop to buy some cut glass bowls,wine glass and an amazing plate to imprint in gelli plate! Can't wait to try! Loving your work! I don't mind how you film...its all good!

[@VikkiReed]

Lol! Vanessa, I hope you find it as much fun as I do! I was just thinking today, however, that I should show the glass I have that DOESN'T work. The bottom must be flat to achieve great results, I hope the pieces you chose will work for you!

[@vanessarobinson1080]

​@@VikkiReedit was such fun! Especially with the glass full of my favourite drink😅

[@VikkiReed]

@@vanessarobinson1080 Wonderful, double the fun!

[@MaryGadsby]

agree, i like real time and can fast forward if i care to

[@gmoncrieff4884]

Toilet paper rolls work wonderfully to make circles or to slide them gently through the paint to make incredible patterns! Or use them to stamp...also dollar stores have so many weird and wonderful patterns on some of the bases of many things.

[@christeenmckenzie1659]

I just found you! These are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! 🩵

[@VikkiReed]

Christeen, thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@avanellehansen4525]

Fantastic! Botanicals on the gel plate are my favorite. I like videos in real time. People can fast forward if they wish. Your tutorials never lag.

[@VikkiReed]

I'm so glad, thank you so much, I appreciate the feedback!

[@judyreed7386]

I’ve watched many Gel print videos. Please don’t speed up! Your delivery is soft, relaxing and enjoyable. Please don’t change what you do. Let the viewers speed it up. I want to relax while viewing. Too much of life is already in a hurry.

[@VikkiReed]

Hi Judy, thank you! I'm pleased that the majority of viewers are choosing "real time" and that is what I will be presenting from now on, with the exception of the shorts, which have to be less than a minute! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@Katmcb-r5u]

@@VikkiReedthank you! For newbies ppl😢explain drying with editing time. That helps ❤❤❤

[@VikkiReed]

@@Katmcb-r5u My pleasure! I had no idea in the beginning how impactful humidity and temperature are, living in the Southwest Desert, I was spoiled to quick drying times...when the humidity rises and the temperatures drop, the acrylic paint becomes much more challenging to work with!

[@HomeLifeAus]

I have to agree with Judy . There’s more details been heard and seen 😊

[@dawncawthra1457]

I love your colour combinations.

[@VikkiReed]

Thanks very much, Dawn! I love color and it is a strong motivator for my work!

[@leestone7663]

I prefer real time videos. How about showing how you use the finished prints. Would love to see that. You’ve inspired me to start using my plate

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you so much for letting me know! I have several videos on using the prints and more to come! Here are a few..."Creating a Mixed Media Collage Bird Project" kzbin.info/www/bejne/aImQdZqoocllb6c "How to Re-Use a Painted Canvas" kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmSagHaYntSmeJKBi Mixed Media Flower Collage with Gelli Prints & Acrylics - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2bak5-aYsefras

Yes! I want to see how you used the prints!

[@bethfigiel6161]

Is this Deli paper? Brand new newbie here.

[@gmoncrieff4884]

A tip....your brayer is meant to be rested on the back metal bar, so there are no paint or paper marks left on it for the next roll. Beautiful prints. I love how you don't blend it too much...it makes the colours so clean and contrasting and interesting! ❤

[@VikkiReed]

Thanks very much for your compliments and that great tip!

[@kathhicks6439]

Thanks for that tip on brayer!

[@VikkiReed]

@@kathhicks6439 Right?...thank you @gmoncrieff4884, I never knew that and it is so helpful, it keeps the brayer from sticking to the "roll-off paper"

[@KathyBrooksArt]

Real time videos are my favorite, 100%. I also appreciate videos without music, which is often irritating (ex: drum beats) I have to mute those. :) But, Vikki, your content is always perfect and so inspirational. I do botanicals most often, but have not done the partial lift technique, which I will try today. Thanks ever so much, always so happy when I see one of your videos come in! 🥰

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you so much, I value the feedback! I believe you will love picking up the "ghost" of the leaves, it really adds detail and dimension! I just used the oleander (but be careful, I didn't know it was toxic) for feathers for a raven I'm creating!

[@KathyBrooksArt]

@@VikkiReed Wow how cool that will be!! I tried your technique today and it worked great. Thank you again!

[@VikkiReed]

It’s so encouraging just hearing your thought processes, especially when the outcome is no what you expected 😊

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you Fiona! While I would love to appear as if I know what I'm doing, it is often a surprise and the creative process more a collaboration with the muses!

[@candyclouston1412]

Being an impatient sort, I watch almost all my craft and Photoshop videos at 1.5X. (I think there's one presenter who speaks so quickly that I need to slow it down from that, but most of the time it works well.) I have no issues with longer videos because they include more realtime demonstration-even at 1.5X I will skip ahead (the advantage of watching on a laptop instead of the phone). Some presenters provide a lot of tips in the narrative that I wouldn't hear elsewhere (e.g., Tim Holtz, who I never watch live because 2.5 hours is just too long in real time), so even when what I'm seeing is familiar, I stick around for those. Occasionally I do go back and sometimes I do slow things down. Others may watch differently, but I spend half of each day online (perhaps 1-2 hours on KZbin), and this is the most efficient way for me to get the content I value.

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you Candy! I'm glad you found the way to make it work for you!

[@831Miranda]

Love the slower videos, its easier to appreciate the process AND the details of results! ❤ Thank you

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you for asking! It is the second most asked question, after "what kind of paper are you using?" For the most part I use them in mixed media collages, and yes, they can be framed individually, made into greeting cards, used as journal pages, and yes, I do have piles of pretty paper here, which eventually find their way into projects. Here are some videos on all the uses I describe! "Plot Twist - “How to Create Mixed Media Art Using Gelli Prints” kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6mnaJaofNCjjtksi=Q18pF-_MKe97kbeg “Making Your Own Greeting Cards With Gelli Prints” kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXawaHmqqql6sNE “Gelli Print Dragonfly Collage” - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmmUin-Pm52SadE “Adding Gelli Plate Dragonfly Art to Wood Panel” kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4iwkIqKoZupi80si=z-XN85ALgBQQP0pO Most recently I used gelli prints I made (of "Cityscapes) in a custom drum head I created for a client called "Together We Rise"... That said, there is truly benefit in creating happily just for the sake of creating...check out the new book, "Your Brain on Art"!

[@marywagner9927]

Love your color sense! Wish I had seen this before all of our leaves died. Well, there’s always next year. Thanks for sharing your beautiful art!!

[@tboutelle1]

Love this demo. Real time works well with your delightful narration. Would love a better and longer look at each resulting print

[@VikkiReed]

Ah, thank you so much, that is great feedback! I will incorporate that for the next video!

[@candyclouston1412]

One of the things I especially like that you do that I don't much see elsewhere (maybe I have, but I don't remember it) is create first layers that aren't supersmooth or uniform. Those variations in color are splendid, and I enjoy seeing which colors create them. I did not skip ahead today!

[@VikkiReed]

Candy, thank you! I feel honored! I love the variations I believe they add richness to the prints

[@christeenmckenzie1659]

PS regarding film speed, there is a “gear” shaped icon on the top right of the screen that people can use to speed up or slow down 😊

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you Christeen, yes! All new videos will be presented in the "real time" format, and viewers have the option, as you pointed out, to speed them up!

[@ZenaTarbath]

What amazing results,, this is the first time I have watched you many thanks

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you! I realize I didn't answer the second part of your question about the paper, I use sheets, not rolls. I provided a link to the paper on Amazon

Real time for me. Let others speed it up if they wish. I do skip forward sometimes too. Just discovered you and am enjoying your videos. I am way overdue for a gelli session. Thanks for sharing.

[@cathydale104]

Hi Vikki. Thanks for another great video. I do like the real time format, but enjoy them all. It is a much slower process for me, as I live in a humid climate and have to wait for the layers to dry. Botanical are always a favorite for me. 😊

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you Cathy! Yes, if it is humid, you do have to wait in between layers. I appreciate the feedback!

[@DreamyBohemian]

Beautiful! I tried copying some botanical batik fabric on my channel and I still need to get some golden paint to perfect it. I was just using what I had on hand. I couldn’t get the translucency I needed and I used way too much paint. Yours are so beautiful and fun - I always love the lipstick holder but am loving the print from the little cup! This is such a fun process - I think the first one is my favorite also!

[@VikkiReed]

Thanks very much! Golden is truly my favorite for this type of gelli print. The little brandy glass is a "go to" favorite of mine! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@janice2992]

Good results 💖

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you, Janice! I will have to admit here that I have not "deployed" all of these prints yet, in a way deciding many of them "precious" and refusing to tear them up...but their time will come!

[@maureenburger9121]

These are great! Thanks! I guess if I'd use some plants and leaves that are dry (I had saved some), they'd stick to the jelly plate and be hard to pick up, and little pieces and bits would stick.?

[@VikkiReed]

Maureen, that is correct, the dried leaves and flowers will crush on the gelli plate, it is best to use pliable fresh leaves as soon as you collect them, thanks for your question!

[@minnahumble2294]

Great techniques.

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you Minna!

[@Ane-kh3yp]

Thank you Vikki. Just found you and really enjoyed and found this video just great. Lots of inspiration and I am ready to brave the gel plate in my box and give it a go. I am happy with the real time video as find them easy to fast forward if I like. Though sometimes the things I find interesting the commentator might not. So in that case I prefer the normal speed video. I am certainly going to subscribe and catch up with the rest of your great videos. Thank you. :)

[@VikkiReed]

Ane, wonderful! Thanks so much for subscribing! I hope you LOVE gel plate printing as much as I do...there is a bit of a learning curve, and your climate can have a big impact, but the magic of pulling a fantastic print is irresistible!

I so prefer real time, otherwise I slow it down and have to turn the volume off. I love your style, and these prints came out beautifully. Do you prefer the liquid paint to the tube paint, is it easier to use on the gel plate? Thank you showing your process.

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you Margaret! The majority of the comments favor real time, so there will be more videos in that style! I MUCH prefer the fluid acrylics (Golden...I've tried the Liquitex fluids and they are not the same), UNLESS you are doing photo transfers and "color lifts", in which case the Amsterdam full body pigments are the key! Thanks for your question!

[@judithward6656]

Loved this video, definitely keep in real-time. I’ve only just discovered this, but wondering if anyone has had success printing on clay?

[@VikkiReed]

Hi Judith, thank you for your question, I'm not sure if you're asking about using the gelli plate to transfer paint to clay, or using imprinted clay to make impressions on the gelli plate. The second option is possible, the first option is confusing to me, as I am not a clay artist, but I would assume you need glazes for clay instead of acrylic paint. I know there is an answer for you somewhere on KZbin, though!

Magnifique

Thank you!

I love these - and as I am totally new to this my question: how do you go on with the finished prints? Can ricepaper be framed? Do you glue it to something else?

[@VikkiReed]

Hi, thank you for your question! Framing the rice paper or adhering it to panel is a bit of a challenge, I primarily use the rice paper for collage work in mixed media pieces. If you want to frame or adhere to panel, I suggest using copy paper, my favorite is HP32Premium, which is ideal for greeting cards, or mounting to panel, you can see that in this video..."Adding Gelli Plate Dragonfly Art to Wood Panel" kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4iwkIqKoZupi80si=KS4RaV6iNlyosaWQ

@@VikkiReed thank you very much 💚🙏

Can you use these in an art quilt? Would you have to seal the rice paper somehow? Thanks!

[@VikkiReed]

Hi Kathleen, thank you for your questions! I had to Google art quilts as I was not familiar with the term! I don't know how you would sew paper into a quilt, and the rice paper is not a sturdy paper, but I use it in collage all the time, in fact that's why I like it, because it is thin and virtually melts into the mixed media work!...I use matte medium to adhere the prints to canvas or board, matte medium over it as well, and then a coat of Winsor & Newton General Purpose Matte Spray Varnish. The next question I usually get is "can you gelli print on fabric" and the answer is yes, but I have not done it successfully, I would suggest you search that term, I know you will find what you're looking for!

Perfect speed! So should we use rice paper for our final prints? I want something that I could frame and hang on the wall. So what kind of paper should I use?

[@VikkiReed]

Great questions Vivian! Yes, you can either assemble a collage with your rice paper gelli prints (see Gelli Print Dragonfly Collage Art - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmmUin-Pm52SadEsi=cw-K0Gnz6M9C-8ok OR, you can print on heavier stock (HP Premium 32 Copy Paper works best for me) and mount it to panel - see it in Adding Gelli Plate Dragonfly Art to Panel)...kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4iwkIqKoZupi80si=VJEKeWw6pjxE5Y3D hopefully those will cover your questions!

What do you/ people do with all their beautiful pulls/prints? Cant frame them all. I want to make paper beads with mine done with crinkled kraft paper gellied.

[@VikkiReed]

Allie, that is a smashing idea! I show a "gelli print ball" made at the end of the "Layered Gelli Prints with Stencils" video kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKfVoKividOglas and there are many other options. For the most part, I use the gelli prints torn up in mixed media collage pieces. I also use them to make greeting cards, and as mentioned, they can be art pieces on their own, mounted to panel. Your idea of making paper beads sounds wonderful!

[@kauletcolette7028]

Cela donne envie d'expérimenter. Cela semble infini ! Pourriez-vous par contre expliquer comment vous nettoyez la plaque et les rouleaux ? Par quel processus ? Merci ! Colette

[@VikkiReed]

Colette, thank you, YES! Experimenting is the key! As far as cleaning the plate and the brayers, you can find that information in this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipLViJukg6pmnNksi=pjhnl5fJVhYYz4Dv

[@amandavdbergh2210]

Beautiful Vikki! What do you do with these prints?

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you, Amanda! These prints are made from rice paper and I used them for collaging into mixed media pieces, I have a few videos on that process for which I will provide the links here...if I am making greeting cards, I like the 32 lb.

[@starrspoter]

how do u clean the leaves ect for the next roung like if u have red on them and u dont want red

[@VikkiReed]

Thanks for your question! It's pretty impossible to clean the leaves, but if the paint is dry, it is not likely that paint will move from the leaves to your next print, at least I haven't had any issues with that...I hope that helps!

Thank you so much, I appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback!

[@sheewho689]

12:12p. These are gorgeous!This is my first time seeing the process. Do you trim and frame these as they are or is there some other process for using them?

[@VikkiReed]

Thank you! You can simply mount them to panel, or what I usually do is tear them up for collage in mixed media pieces. I have videos on both, and one that features some of each!
