This was the first acrylic medium I was introduced to! I used it to make 'fabric' for quilting. Just found a wonderful old 'fabric' with metallic paints, great timing! Really love this medium. Enjoyed this post! Thanks!

So I can paint then gel then transparent paint on that? And then gel and doit over ?

So clean bead on paint magnifies the color? Then 8f I paint on the bead its just texture then?

So basically ive got to trowel it on ? I have a gel but ive a 2lb. Bag of the tiny glassbead dust I ordered, which I should have ordered several sizes instead.

Do they show the color they are on? Or if I apply the bead then paint over it will it still reflect the color?

If you apply just beads it will show the underlying color, but not if you paint over it.

Could Glass Gel Medium be applied on windows? If so, would it last through seasonal high and low temperatures? And most importantly, could it be later removed without damaging the windows? I have never heard of this product before today and I am very keen to use it. I am in the planning stage of a faux stained glass design with translucent maple leaves for my apartment windows and thought the Glass Gel Medium might be a very nice addition. Cheers

Hi Colleen-The acrylic glass bead gel would be ok on glass if it was indoors but not on a window itself. I think the temperature extremes would hamper its adhesion. What if you made your faux stained glass window on Plexiglas and hung it inside in front of the window. I think that would work.

@@SandraDuranWilson Thank you for responding. I will add your Plexiglas suggestion to my list of possible materials. Working on large fitted Plexiglas (if I can find 'on sale') may even be a better route because I could remove them if I move. Even if it is not for the windows, I am going to use Acrylic Glass Bead Gel somewhere. (Your video has inspired many ideas). Cheers

Hi flow? Its a medium like a flow medium? Im really pa8nt8n drawings not sculptin so 8 need some hi flow?

@SandraDuranWilson

Hi Flow is a very fluid paint like acrylic ink. I think it would work well for your drawings. Checkout Golden Artist colors or get acrylic inks by Liquitex.

Very interesting. Would you think these triangular shapes you made could be permanetly stuck on a fabric, like a sort of embroidery on a dress? Would it be advisable, while they alreary dry, to paint a layer of neutral similar gel medium on the back and stick it on the fabric? Or directly use a stencil and the knife and spread the beaded gel onto the fabric and let to dry? Would you say it might stuck permanentely? I assume one can use the neutral gel and add crystals or glitter or else to customise the effects. Thanks you for this video :=)

You are welcome, and thanks for watching. You could use the stencil directory on fabric. I would put it on a canvas or muslin, and after it is dry, cut out the shapes and stitch it onto the garmet.

@@SandraDuranWilson Oh Thank you so much for such a quick reply. My idea was to "print" it directly on the garment. To avoid extra thickness. In your experience, would you think that gel would pass through a silkcreen? Then while still wet, I though may be sprinkle beads or sequins. Would you think i might get stuck permanently? (more for a costume of course, not haute couture ;))) Thank you so much for your creativity and knowledge.

@Patrick Bouchot I think the gel would be too thick to go through a silkscreen and you need enough viscosity to hold the beads.

@@SandraDuranWilson yes may be. Although I’m a little concerned about that I know there is a range of gel-like silicone that can be used in silkscreen techniques in fact, you can build very thin layers onto fabric, but each layer needs to pass few seconds under infrared heat, and after few layer you obtain a significant raised effect. They use this in factories to print flexible 3D logos and making elastic waistband (sorry I’m digressing onto non artistic purposes ;)))

Thanks for your input. You may want to watch on a different device and in a higher quality setting. When the glass bead gel is wet, it is a white blobby mixture and a camera doesn't focus well. I hope you at least zoom to the end where you can see the glass bead results. I might make a new one in the future.
