The last one is the most foolproof way to create an image transfer on a gelatin print using a matte medium.

Gelli Arts plates 5 x7 and 6 x 6
High contrast magazine images

Karen Elaine, you are an excellent and inspiring teacher! So glad I found you!
Very interesting. I think you are the only artist I've watched that loves the rubbing off method. Both prints came out really fine!
You are a good teacher! Thanks for the step by step instructions and also each technique that has AND hasn’t worked for you.
Great demo and techniques, really enjoyed this. So helpful! Thanks.
So fun! Thanks for the clear instructions....trying this today!
Great tutorial! Love your gelli prints!
Love it. Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow! Super transfert image with black fluid paint! Thank you so much for sharing!

I watched that part many times but dont understand how a magazine picture can be transfered with black paint.
This was excellent, thank you. I will be trying the method that you use for transferring photos. I like the way the blacks are more intense, much more so than the standard method of photo transfering to a gel plate.
Love this!! 💕Getting off Tax prep season since January- ready for some Print making!!
Love this and thank you for this video!
Nice work. Thank you for sharing. Loved the use of glue gun "stencils" - they are so easy to make and fun to use.

I loved you video and brilliant ideas. Thank you! I understand you perfectly, and the vogue image you used came out excellent. If anyone wants to see the original i scrolled back to 1:52 and it is seen there. I can't wait to try the technique with the mod podge. Well done!
Karen, thank you, very good tutorial.
Thank you for this tutorial!
Thanks so much, Karen! I'm new at Gelli printing, and this was very enlightening. 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!)

Love all your ideas and samples of different paper. How do you clean your gel plates? They are so clean!
Hello! You mentioned Notanlzer, but I can't find Notanlive in the Google Play store. Maybe I'm spelling it wrong? Can you please tell me? Thanks. I love your video!
Thank you for sharing.
Sometimes you let the transfer pull dry, and sometimes you don’t. Could you explain if it is important for the transfer image to dry, or not?
I am new to this image transfer … haven’t been successful yet .. but will keep trying . Seems most magazines do not work well . Will buy a Vogue and try again !
Thank you for showing how to do the matte medium transfer. I am trying to do laser cut transfers and I am about to pull my hair out. I am used to carving linocuts and silkscreens so I am know what I am going to get. Most of the time I can't figure out when to let the layers dry or to pull it wet

Hi. Great! Does it have to be a lazer printer? Thanks
Wonderful tutorial! Thank you! Where did ou get the stencils/stamps that looked like open doilies?
Ola,. Amo seu trabalho, tenho dúvidas, ... Usou gloss paper para transferir a imagem?
Love this but how do you frame it after when it on such thin paper?
love this question. was the image of yourself that you used medium on dried and rubbed off have to be a laser printed high contrast image? can that process be done with any lasr print ..color etc?
GELLI PRINTing is so Kool!! I just discovered it, (I'm a multi media kind of girl), and I'm obsessed!! Getting my daughter a GELLI PRINT kit for Xmas, she needs something to do that's not real fussy, and she wants to upcycle clothing and fabric.. ❤️
I wish you would have shown the colors of the Vogue magazine picture before you transferred it. I am wondering what the picture looked like. Thank you!
Nice job
Very instructive for such an unpredictable process. Does the type of ink/paint you use matters? Thank you!
I totally enjoyed listening to your video, and i love your sense of humor. I couldn't quite follow the idea you mentioned about an APP called "noten"...something or another. By the way, have you ever tried transfers on fabric? I'm wanting to figure out how to do that... Thank you, Juliana

Hi, so for the delay in responding! The app is called Notanizer and is great for getting the contrasts you need to simplify a composition. I haven't tried transfers on fabric but I think it would work on smooth fabric. Cheers!

All printed images and text are subject to copyright but there are some "rules" when it comes to using them in creative works. I think you will find a lot of information if you google "copyrights for magazine images used in collage" or something similar. Enjoy!
i thought when u put a layer and take it straight of the hole thing comes of when u did the second layer some came of both layers but left alot there to. i thought the hole lot always comes of
Could you do this onto fabric instead?
Great work! How do you spell that app that you use to get the high contrast photos?
That second pull is called a ghost print
Nice video thank you very much ❤️👍 don’t you think I can use a traditional inck printer ?? Love from Denmark 🇩🇰 Tina

Thanks for making this video but why let the magazine print sit so long to dry twice? But background images you said hurry, don’t let it dry? Can you pull a magazine without adding paint on top of the image on the jelly plate?
I laughed out loud when she said “vogue works okay.” I asked my daughter to pick up magazines, even said, “like cosmo and vogue” and she brought me star and people. They don’t work so great 🤣🤣🤣

It didnt work first time cos you fiddled about and it dried before putting paper on.

Hi Rhonda, this is a recording of a live Zoom class showing how to make image transfers with magazines and laser prints using a gel plate. It hasn't been edited and is in real-time. It's one continuous unedited video, nothing fancy but hopefully informative.
