How to Make Perfect Image Transfers on Your Gelli Plate LIVE CLASS

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Creating image transfers on gelatin plates is kind of like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get! This live class recording will teach you three ways to make image transfers on Gelli Arts Gelli plates. Two are hit and miss, depending on the paper and toner used on magazines and laser prints. The last one is the most foolproof way to create an image transfer on a gelatin print using a matte medium.
Supplies:
Gelli Arts plates 5 x7 and 6 x 6
High contrast magazine images
High contrast laser print images (photocopier)
Fluid acrylic paints
Golden Fluid matte medium
Hotpress watercolor paper
Sulfite paper

I tried to do a transfer, right out of the gate, from a printer image...why not just jump into the deep end! lol It didn't work at all...and then I realized it was in inkjet printer, not laser! Looking forward to trying both ways you've shown us! (I also have to secure a brayer!)

    Thank you. I thought I was the only one who couldn’t stand the talking. Way too much

    But, she’s explaining things when she talks. What’s confusing?

    You don’t finish your sentences! It’s driving me crazy to try to follow the narrative.

    I've been that way since I was a little girl. My parents used to call me Edith (the character in Laugh In, who never finished her sentences) You can always turn off the sound or find another video if it drives you crazy. ☺Sorry, it's just who I am.

    I agree with Minna but I guess like your parents I find you quite unintentionally hilarious ! But your outcomes are great!

    I had to stop watching this video because you are not showing certain steps for example the first magazine that you lay down you don't show us exactly what the magazine picture looks like we only see the back of the page. Unfortunately for tutorials since I'm just learning I have to see every step

    We can all learn, and nobody is perfect ❤.... and I've seen a lot worse!

    Agregar! Did you find another titorial that explains those steps? I'm looking for it.😊
