Absolutely STUNNING! A Cosmic Wonder! Sure wish I had a stencil like that... you should make some to sell... I'd be your 1st buyer! 🙂
That's fabulous, and the stencil did the job. You made the most unique stencil ever!

Wow Juna! I've been gel printing for a few years now & can't count the number of gel printing videos I've watched on YT but every one of yours has been a *revelation* -- it's like I'm learning all over again -- thanks so much for sharing your process with us ❤

Ooh I'm so happy to hear that!! Thank you so much, that means a lot!
I just watched this wonderful video & I gasped at the end result. Talk about gorgeous!! I rarely subscribe to any youtube videos, but I just subscribed to yours. You have a lovely way of explaining & it was cool to share in your delight at the end result. How could one not be delighted with it? And, with the gel plate it is always a "one of a kind" result, never to be duplicated. Thanks from the west coast of BC.
absolutely wonderful.
Thank you, I loved watching and experience the newness of doing this project with alcohol ink, how well the ink showed up and how it created this lovely piece of art with your fabulous hand crafted stencyl.. One could feel the cexcitment as you worked with the ink and your giggle created that same excitement while I was watching.😊

Everyone needs to know that when you work with alcohol, you need to have good VENTILATION! Do not breathe the fumes!

This is absolutely beautiful. I recently purchased a gel platebrayer, and alcohol inks, and have it yet tried it. You have inspired me, though I have to say I never understood why we put paint on top of it but yet the print comes through. It’s a mystery… Can you please tell me what kind of white paint you used? Is that just Acrylic?

What is the piece of clear (plastic/acrylic?) that you have your gel plate on so that you can lift up and turn over to look at? Where can i get one?
WOW!! This came out GORGEOUS!!! *** QUESTION: Did alcohol ink STAIN the gel plate??? *** I saw a video and her gel plate was orange from using alcohol inks on it. It didn't clean off the plate with alcohol. The gel plate still works just fine. But it affects how the print looks when she looks at it through the opposite side of the gel plate! I was wondering if you put matte medium on plate BEFORE alcohol inks, that might keep inks from staining the plate??? TFS Austin TX USA
@junabiagioni
Жыл бұрын
Glad you liked it! My plate wasn't stained, but that can indeed sometimes happen. And correct, the plate still works fine. Your solution is creative and perhaps it works, I don't know! I guess the matte medium (or gloss medium) will also be transferred onto your print, as the top layer, but if that's ok with you then I don't see any problem. 🙂

Perhaps! I've never tried that myself, so that would be fun for you to try out! I think you'll have to decide what kind of paint you want to use for the pickup layer, I guess you'll want some type of fabric paint so that the fabric doesn't become hard. You may want to eperiment with the drying time. Let me know how it goes! 😀

Usually the yellows will stain the plate, but doesn't affect the performance of it for other applications.
