[@63artemisia63]

Great gel plate tuts plus you solved a problem for me by telling us a sturdy rice paper to try😘

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

THAT is the very BEST rice paper and the smooth side pulls off ALL the paint!

[@63artemisia63]

Elizabeth St. Hilaire 😘 It’s in my Amazon cart!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

@@63artemisia63 you will love it!

[@lorrainecooper266]

lots of work but isn't that print beautiful? Thanks Connie!

[@jaynedough130]

i want a dress !ike your print! your stenci!s and masks are outstanding.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thank you so very much! Maybe you could make your own pattern with the stencils and have it transferred to fabric! :-)

[@deborahgarretson653]

Good video.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thank you Deborah

[@bcarnold5911]

Love your teaching in great details ...thank you for sharing. the stamps that you created are beautiful and I wanted to buy some, but on the rubbermoon website, it was asking for a code??? before I can see your stamps.:-)

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Please go to the homepage, rubbermoon.com and watch the video that explains the need for the password. I’m sorry I should send you directly there

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thanks so much!

[@dotmorton4540]

Dot from UK
Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge of art techniques, I love your art and stamp and stencil designs. I would love to purchase some of them but Joggles don't ship to the UK any more. Do you know of other suppliers that do? I am retired and have been watching you every day on You tube and learning so much, thank you, stay safe and lots of love from Dot x

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thank you so much Dot!! Joggles is the manufacturer and so I don’t know of anyone else who would ship to UK. I’m sorry!!

[@TPeters-nl3fl]

Beautiful print! It didn't seem so, but just to clarify, were you letting any layer dry? I've just got myself a gel plate and looking forward to getting started.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

With fluid acrylics in the gel plate, the prints are dry immediately!

[@bfinchfrank]

I love golden acrylics, but I can’t afford them for every day use. Is there a fluid acrylic that’s less costly that you can recommend?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

You’d have to experiment. I have actually never used any other brand. Maybe Liquitex?

[@reginaeid1568]

I’m just discovering your work ! Will your flower texture plate come back into stock?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

YES! that is not my design, but Joggles will restock it. you can also click to have them notify you when it's available again.

[@patsypureheart3294]

Elizabeth, I find that the paint is drying out, fluid acrylic, while laying down the several layers, how can I fix this, spray or medium?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Did you watch the whole video? a layer of paint at the end pulls off all the dry paint. :) Be sure you use good paper like the rice paper pad in my Amazon shop, it's the best.

[@marendala]

Bonjour 👋 magnifique ! Vous laisser sécher avant de passer là dernier couche bleu ? Merci

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

You are welcome!

[@marendala]

Elizabeth St. Hilaire please...Do you let dry your work before the last coat of paint ? (The blue one) 😊

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Françoise Paradiso yes! But the fluid acrylic dries REALLY fast especially where I am, it’s hot.

[@marendala]

Elizabeth St. Hilaire ok 👌 thanks 😊

[@gingersparks73]

Hi on your Amazon account there are a couple different rice papers. Which one exactly did you use here on your Gelli plate? Thank you

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Ginger Sparks the one that I listed in the video specifically. Sumi-E 9x12 pad. :)

[@gingersparks73]

Elizabeth St. Hilaire Thank you got it ordered. 😊

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Ginger Sparks you’re welcome!! :)

[@kathysmigen3927]

Would this work with fabric too?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

The Gel Plate does with with fabric, yes... but the results are different as fabric does not stick to the plate tight like paper does, for a real crisp print. you could do some research, I know people do use it for fabric and I have used it very basically to print onto an old skirt! Thanks Kathy

[@eveingraham6275]

I have followed along three times and it is not working. Just a messy blob of colors. Do you have to let each layer dry completely before you add the next layer. Help

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I use fluid acrylics that are dry pretty quick, yes each layer needs to be dry

[@vonaldautterback8831]

Ah, unfortunately, the texture plate is sold out!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Vonalda Utterback bummer!! You can select “notify me” and they will let you know when it’s back. Won’t be long.

[@jackiecopeland1835]

Your work is so juicy. I love it.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Jackie Copeland Thank you, what a great adjective :-)
