You go girl!! If you can’t say something nice….don’t say anything at all!

Seriously! Definite sign of a generation growing up behind a screen with no real-world consequences. But that’s just my opinion, lol.🤷🏻‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

What a creative way to use common everyday items to make beautiful prints. The one also reminded me of a set of lungs as soon as I saw it. Love your work!❤️

Thank you!!

I just saw another person put the paint on the doily, put it on the gelli plate then pick up the print with a sheet. It was gorgeous.

Brilliant! Thank you.

Simple measures to create stunning papers. I have made my own gelli plate but look forward to your experiment next week. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for watching! I just got everything mixed up and into the fridge. Fingers crossed!

great prints! i love circles too, i just think they exude a happy feeling lol. a little tip= if you cut off the ends of the citrus bag, the sheet will be big enough to cover your plate, and you can gather or manipulate it to make great curvy patterns.

I like Simon Hurley heat foam for saving found textures.

Oh, I have not heard of that! I will definitely look into it! Thank you so much for the tip!!

I’ve made my own gell plate - from a very large commercial size baking pan (used for cinnamon rolls at a bakery) - I made it about 4 years ago and it’s still in great shape!

I just got it mixed up and put in the refrigerator. Oh my goodness, though, those rubbing alcohol fumes! Instant headache. Even with the windows open, lol! I can’t wait to see what happens!!

Excellent video as always👍 The wax resist was good. Mine don't always turn out that good.

Thank you, so much! Honestly, mine don’t usually turn out that well, either. I have always used a crayon before, though. That was the first time I tried using candlewax!

Another metal clip off the fruit net if you want to spread it over the hello plate!

You added some fantastic prints to your stash, Melissa. I didn’t realize you can use gel medium to pull prints so that was good information. I’m going to my room now and give these a try. Do you ever use colored tissue paper for your prints?

I never have used the colored tissue. Perhaps I will give it a try sometime! Do you?

@@ArtworkByMelissaReed I bought a gelli plate for backgrounds for cards so I was using card stock or tags with stamps and stencils. It wasn’t until probably the last year that I even used book pages or copy paper to make the prints. I’m learning a lot from you. I tried the colored tissue today but I think my color combo wasn’t great. Maybe you’ll have better luck.

Look at the stove burner covers when you're at Dollar Tree. Could those be used to create a homemade gel plate in?

That’s a really good idea! I ended up picking up a cake pan, but if those are deep enough, I’m sure that would work!☺️☺️
