What Are Gel Plates and Why Are They Amazing? | Dyan Reaveley

[@TRoth858]

I love that Dyan explains why she does what she does. It helps to know the reasons behind the techniques. When you understand them, the skies the limits!

[@deborahreeder2901]

I really enjoy watching Dyan work in her journals. She's so creative and fun!

[@Snowy.Evening]

This is perfectly wonderful, Dyan!!!

[@germaine734]

I love that you don't like to "waste" paints!! Wonderful tute. Thank you so much. Prayerful hugs, Germaine

[@NancyLynn]

Such an amazing tutorial, Dyan, and I have to add that your talent is just 'crazy'! Thank you so much for sharing...gentle hugs from Canada

[@shug4614]

❤Thank you! I’m smitten by your colors and technique!

[@ericastannard2635]

Thank you, Dyan! You have certainly showed me more ways to use the brayer & gel plates. As you have demonstrated, I think I will practice using 3 colors in the same color-way. So many gel print images I’ve seen are muddy & dark, because they had contrasting colors. I think your way of adding color by printing directly onto the paper will be easier for me to control the process. I’m going to give it a try, anyway! I wish I could give you 10 stars for this video, it is a VERY HELPFUL video!

[@katf3836]

I love all the journals that Dyan has created. She's an amazing mixed media artist!!

[@karent1717]

I like the way you do your prints right into the journal. Seems like much less mess and you are using it right away,

[@evetei]

Lovely gifted lady. I like your style!

[@adrinem4513]

I never would have thought to do this. I made my own big gel plate and sometimes would think there’s got be something else I can do with it. Well now after watching this and seeing how fast the pages come to life I am going to make some small ones and definitely a round one! I can’t wait! Love watching Diane!

[@dancesontheceiling]

Great presentation. Thank you for being direct & efficient.

[@Daughter_of_Adonai24]

I love how you showed me a different way when I make my own Gel plate. I think I'll make several small ones like yours. Thanks for sharing. 👍🙋🏻‍♀️

[@paisleypeacock1001]

Love everything Dylusions and love Dyan. I will be picking these up. Thanks Dyan for being you.

[@joysampson9200]

Dyan thank you so very much for your informative videos re the Gel Plates...now I know what to do! I will be watching and catching up on all I have missed!

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Loads of fun watching this, I love how relaxing it was to watch Dyan play with all the pretty colors of paint! Thanks so much Dyan!!! Blessings!!!

[@KarenMRoth]

I love using them both ways. With lighter pastels and with more multiple bold color patches and sometimes even adding tissue paper on top and crinkling it and letting it dry then going back over the whole piece with pastels. That is the whole fun thing about it all...we get to play :)

[@HiThereHeyThere]

😱✨️ a travel tin idea 🤯. Could even kerp them in that at home!❤

[@TheShmoo123]

Iv got several books on the go and gave just stalled for a year or 2 but this has given me inspiration, I dont have any gel plates as yet but I do have a couple of brayers and some of your paint and stencils so I’m going to have a go! Thanks for the kick in the pants 👍🏽🙋🏽‍♀️

[@cindyklatt]

I love watching your videos! I’m still learning how to use the gel plate. I love the uniqueness of the effects. It’s exciting to see what will show up! Thank you for sharing!

[@deborahdaniels5834]

I love these tips for using my gel press plates. So fun and a great way to get some craft time in without needing to create a finished project.

[@liliana1lfr]

Excellent! Dyan, you are the best instructor.

[@lizschram3364]

I love how you explained it! I think I may be able to do mixed media now!

[@sgpusak]

I love her work. I'd like to get a tin for my gelli plates

[@crozlowcrafts]

Thanks Dyan! I don’t use my plates enough... they are a little intimidating. You’ve given me the confidence and knowledge to bust out 3 colours and my smallest plates and have a play! Thank you!

[@Andi.Plans2]

Dyan is officially my favorite! 😃

[@traveldreamer4616]

Excellent demonstration. I enjoy watching you create pretty and thoughtful pages. Your work is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.

Creative spark- right here ✨🌛

[@sacredkeylock6300]

I love how fluid you are in your art. I’ve been binge watching all your videos, and I’m simply in love!

[@carolfrazer8067]

You can make your own Gel Plates. Just use Clear Knox Gelatin. I know how the real ones are made. Many of us can't afford them. The other thing you can do with the plate is put that embossing sheet right onto the gel plate and then roll the color on. This way you can load the gel plate with several colors at one time and still get the same effect as you did

[@amandajones6481]

Dear Carol Frazer, could you explain how you make gel plates from gelatin? Because you're absolutely right about the price of them. I saw them here in Melbourne, Australia, at an art supply store, called Eckersley's, and I winced at the cost!

[@shannonwooters3443]

Love your techniques Dyan. Your supplies are beautiful. I been wanting to try your paints out for a while now.

[@joanorr4001]

Lovely video, Dyan. Thank you.

[@debbiepettit3957]

Great tutorial, very enlightening! I've been using the brayer all wrong. I love these ideas for using the gel plates in my art journals.

[@lynnetennant7885]

You are amazing! You make me feel like I can do this! Thank you. I never thought of doing multiple pages like that! I will get my gel plate out. And I love the December book!

[@pamburke8614]

Thank you Dyan!

[@lilred8234]

Her tattoos are wonderful

[@viviankirkham1677]

Beautiful and delightfully insightful!! Thank you!

[@BubblegumFunk]

Your colour range is stunning

[@Veronim78]

Very cool and interesting. I have never used gel plates. This video was very helpful. Thank you for sharing.

[@pattiestarzynski]

Love this :) I do scrap-booking, make cards and do Zentangle/Tangles. I am going to use this in my Zentangle/Tangle Journal. LOVE this to make my pages pop. Thank you.

[@gail2139]

I like your technique! This was helpful!

[@debbiebrewington7635]

Thank you! Love your creativity!

[@lisagibbs7870]

Thank you as didn’t realise you had you’re own range to fit your journals and I’ve not seen the jump journal so will get that now and won’t be afraid of the blank page as it’s scary at times.

[@TheInvincibleViolet]

Art is so amazing... I learn about different styles and techniques of creations every day !! Thank you.. I enjoyed discovering gel plates. Great :) !!!!

[@jasann100]

Love this 😀

[@elisabethclancy3949]

Thank you for teaching me something new . This is so awesome ! I never heard of this before I saw your video . I enjoyed your video .

[@Rachierooh]

Want everything!!! 🥰

[@joeywd2885]

WOW very informative and so so easy. Always found the Gel Plate technique undoable for me, too much work and so kinda messy, and a lot of waste. BUT, you have made me rethink the Gel Plates as I now see where the texture can be easy and simply so effective! Thank you so much for an awesome tutorial, the best one I have ever seen and I have seen a lot of them. Have a great day. : )

[@zammymille]

Love your videos. You have a great teaching style and just really enjoyable to listen too 🥰

[@SammiJarrad]

Love it!! I am in a class of Dylan’s this month. I’m super excited!

[@dianneholst3209]

Samantha Jarrad Better get her name right then 🤣

[@SammiJarrad]

Dianne Holst auto correct. 🤪

[@dianneholst3209]

Yes, Samantha, sorry just kidding. I’m probably just jealous - lucky you. It will be fantastic

[@lorrainedurgee1761]

July 2020, great video, I like your way of designing with the gel plates, I used too much paint..I made such a mess cause I put the stencil right on the gel plate & then I had to scrub the paint off my stencils....thank you soo much..

[@estherwessels8500]

Beautiful.... I am a big fan!! xx

[@marilyncruz7679]

Thank you for this lesson. I was a lot intimidated by the gel press....really want to try but at the same time not to try. You made me much more comfortable in just using one color at a time. Take it slowly. I'm gonna start with a small plate and a small traveler's notebook. Thanks again 👏😃

[@mawmawvee]

I love Scrapbook.com!

[@magicinhands]

Every page of your journal is die for 😍👍

[@patcyzauskas7216]

Thanks for showing us how u use the gel plates. I have many other shapes. I may bring them to your class with me. You don’t mention using the gel plates in the dyalog class but I do hope you will. I wanted the journal class as well but it’s full so I’m on the wait list. I want to decorate the tin. Am planning on using alcohol inks. I hope u continue to make more videos because I enjoy them so much!! 😘

[@HeiderosesPhotograph]

WOW....AWESOME, I JUST ORDERED A GEL PLATE LAST SUNDAY, CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT....TFS....:)

[@angelahoynes5649]

Really enjoyed watching you. I really like your method of using the gel plate to print, I have only seen the other method till now.

[@caelidhg6261]

I just found out that I can make my own gel plates so I am going to do that now!

[@cindyburns7667]

Thank you for this very informative video. I have to admit I hadn't thought of using the gel plate like this, it's a great idea.

[@2341vivian]

What an incredible video...thank you Ryan for all your talent...now I know how to use my forgotten gel plates...can't wait to play!!

[@simonesreadingnook6426]

I love your blouse :-)

[@dianagrygiel2967]

I have a gel plate and never use it. I really didn’t know what to do with it; now I do. Thanks.

[@whatlizziepresents]

Thank you sweetie. I really must invest in this, LOOKS LIKE SO MUCH FUN!!!

[@crafterintherough]

I love your journaling style. Lots of fun!! Definitely going to try it. 😊
