Wet Strength Tissue Paper in Mixedmedia Art
Vložit

- Ever heard of wet strength tissue paper? No? - me neither until recently.
Welcome to my first ever proper CZcams video where I share how I use wet strength tissue in my mixedmedia art. I also share some gelli printing for those of you that like to see that process. I have tried to make this a visual treat and not longer than it would take to drink a cup of tea. So as they say here in Britain, pour yourself a cuppa and join me.
00:00 Intro
00:45 What is wet strength tissue paper?
01:22 Using wet strength tissue paper in my art

Hi, I'm Jane and I've created this channel to share my process for no other reason than, just because! I hope you enjoy my musings and hope you'll subscribe to see more of my creative pursuits.
I share most of my art and photography on Instagram, so pop over there too and have a look.

I cant believe this is your first youtube video! Its excellent. I love just watching the process of making art rather than hear someone talking too much. You are a fabulous artist. Please make more videos!!
Thank you so much! You have made my day with your lovely words of encouragement. More videos are on the way! 💜
I agree, little talk is necessary, simple unobstructive music is nice, and when possible products shown helpful. New subscriber!
Excellent first video! I love the typewriter captions and the prints are lovely!
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it. 💜
That was so awesome!! Fun and informative with beautiful results!! Thanks for leaving the words up long enough we can actually read them 😉
🙂 That was my daughter's suggestion to leave the words up for longer - I might get brave and do a voice over one day, but I've got to work up to that!
Excellent video that's beautiful and relaxing. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it! 😊
excellent video and some very yummy prints. thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! 💜
Thanks you for this excellent video. I love working with tissue paper & had never heard of wet strength tissue. Appreciate your sharing.
You are so welcome!
I love how you offprint to another plate. Brilliant!
Thank you! 😊I'm so glad you've enjoyed my videos!
Loved watching your various demonstrations with the paint and stencils! And the captions are great! You make it look so easy and fun!
Thank you so much! I'm really pleased you enjoyed it!
love your video, great techiques!
Thanks so much! I'm happy you enjoyed it!
This is a really great tutorial for people who have played around with the geli print process, but have not had a lot of success-like me! I was getting very frustrated with all these videos I was watching, because they did not explain that you had to wait between layers. I was just getting mud prints, but thanks to watching this video, I am more confident now. Thank you Jane and you have got yourself another subscriber!
Oh thank you so much for the lovely feedback - I'm so pleased you found it helpful!
What fun! Hope to see more of your beautiful work!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 💜
Brilliant
I'm glad you have enjoyed it!
You had me at “cuppa” and “cat” and followed with mark making and gelli printing!! My kind of video!! Your video was excellent and so beautifully presented. I researched wet strength tissue and found a supplier in the UK who ships internationally so I look forward to experimenting with it when it has winged it’s way to Australia. Thanks so much for sharing. 👌🏻
You are so welcome! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Sooo much fun to watch you create!! Definitely going to try these techniques on tissue paper. Thanks for such a great first video!!
Thank you so much for your encouragement and support! 💜
Wow! Awesome video! Good music, great camera work, beautiful prints and mark making. Love the use of the typewriting. Great styling in every detail.
Thank you so much! I'm please you found it enjoyable! 😊
HOW LOVELY! Great job on your first video! I like your style with the typewriter writing - no one else does that - VERY cool! Looking forward to more. Love & Respect... Deborah
I'm so thrilled you enjoyed it!!
Lovely papers
Thank you so much - glad you enjoyed seeing the process 🙂
Great job 👏 I love watching gel plate videos ❤.
Thank you! I love make gelli prints - just need to find a way to use them all!
Excellent! Such pretty results. I had never heard of wet strength tissue - thanks for the tip! 💗
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!
This is lovely, restful and informative.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Jane,after watching I’ve ordered some wet strength tissue paper for my Abstract Collages.👍🏻
Wonderful! I'm glad you found it helpful!!
This made me happy seeing you use 2 gellis at the same time...i just got a second one!
Glad you liked the video - I find using 2 plates works to clean off the brayer at bit rather than use scrap paper. Also I can work on one plate while the other dries if I'm doing something with layers of paint. 😀
Verrrry inspiring...thank you for being brave and sharing your first video!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! 💜
Hypnotic!! Such talent x
You are so sweet for saying so!!
Brilliant video! Have just bought some of the tissue and this has given me so many ideas. Thank you.
Glad you found it helpful!
From whom did you buy it from?
Thanks for easy listening music, Great 1st video! Great art work. Yep 👍, I subscribed. You go Girl! - Messy Mendy 🙏🏻👍🖌
Thank you so much for the most fabulous comment - I can't tell you how much it has made my day!
Loved your typed information! So often video creators talk overly long, & I only have a limited amt of time I can watch videos. I gobble up the shorter ones. And I liked your speeded up pace for the same reason. Great first video, and now I’m a subscriber. Loved learning about the strong tissue paper! And your mark making and gel prints were very fun to see. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! I'm with you about the videos with too much talking - I'm too impatient and I want people to get to the point. I hope I manage that in my videos. I watch them through and if I get bored with my own content I chop it out! I want people to be inspired and I think that can be achieved with shorter and more focused content. Thanks for subscribing!!
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing your techniques.
You are so welcome!
Awesome. I would never have guessed it was your first video. And you do wonderful work with the gel plates.
Thank you so much! 😊
Absolutely gorgeous!! So glad I stumbled upon your channel via one of your shorts.. I immediately subscribed! 🤗💕
Yay! Thank you! and I'm thrilled you found me! Guess the shorts do introduce new people to you!
@@janewestonart I very really watch shorts, so finding your channel was really meant to be 😄
Thank you so much. Inspiring and relaxing. Your designs are gorgeous.
I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful results! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
How has it taken me a year to find you. For a first video this is superb. I subscribed within 10 minutes. Your video style and simplicity is a joy to watch. I’m a very visual learned and this was helpful.
Wow, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I have been away from making videos but I have more planned for the near future 😁
Just hit the subscribe button- can't wait to see what you create next! Definitely inspired to create after watching your video 😊
Awesome! Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
❤
Well done Jane........x
Thanks so much Bunty!
Excellent! Some of those gelli prints could easily be framed as they are. The design and colour palette used was aesthetically pleasing to the eye 🎨
Oh thank you for such a lovely comment - I'm really glad you enjoyed watching the process.
@@janewestonart 🙂

Love this thank you xx
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Your videos are lovely. I discovered you through the mixed media menagerie collaboration video.
Oh thank you! I'm glad you like them!! 💜
Wow! What beautiful work...color choices - great! I have been searching for wet strength tissue paper without success. Would you please share where you purchase it? I just subscribed and look forward to seeing more from you. Thank you!
Thank you very much. I get my wet strength from Carnival Papers www.carnivalpapers.com They are based in the U.K. If you visit their site at the top it says "overseas shipping" and there are links to suppliers in different parts of the world. Hope that helps!!
I had not heard of that tissue paper (now hunting some ) 😁 Thankyou so much and loved your video ! ..Subscribed waiting to see more 🤗 oh love Gell printing ...
I am so glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with the hunt! 😁
@@janewestonart Thankyou 😁
Lovely process. Thank you for sharing. One thing that would help is a list of materials used. I have chemo brain and sometimes I miss the images...can't process that quickly. One thing on my wish list is definitely black gesso. Can I add black paint to white gesso?
Hi Chris, that's a great suggestion! Black gesso is very much like a matte black paint. If you were to mix black paint with white gesso you would get a matte grey. I'm sure black paint on tissue paper would have the same effect as black gesso. I hope that makes sense. 😊
Wonderful "first video." Congratulations on a very professional video..... Love love love the typewriter font and clickety-clack of the typewriter sound effect !!! Very vintage and I love vintage. Question: where do you buy "wet strength tissue paper?" Is there a particular brand? I don't remember ever seeing it here in the States. I wonder if there is another name for it....... hmmmm.....
Thanks! I'm not sure if wet strength tissue it is available in the States. I know here in the UK it is sold by Carnival Papers and I have seen it on Amazon. It is very much like deli paper which is harder to find here in the UK. It is meant for making paper lanterns. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
I’m confused - you took out a piece of collage paper with the black marks and said it was wet strength tissue paper. But then you proceeded to tear it easily before adhering it. Am I missing something?❤
Ah yes - if you have lots of layers of wet strength tissue, it is near impossible to tear them all at once, but one sheet at a time is as easy to tear as regular tissue. I hope that clears things up! 😁
Beautiful prints !!! I was going to buy some of this tissue paper on amazon until I saw the price . $65.00 for 60 sheets :( That's way too pricey for my pocketbook . I loved seeing your process though - love your prints !
Ouch that's expensive!! I don't blame you for passing on that offer. Here in the UK it's readily available, though deli paper isn't so I guess it depends on what you can get your hands on. Deli paper is very similar in weight and texture and I have had good results using that too. Hope that helps. 😊
If you would talk thru the demo i would li,e and subscribe. I like to multi task and that cant be done if i have to keep my eye on the screen the entire video.😢
Hi, I totally get what you are saying. This was my first ever CZcams video and I didn't quite have the courage to do a voice over at that point. I'm happy to say that with some of the newer videos I have done voice overs as I gained confidence. I'm learning as I go!! 😁
WOW!! Your technique is wonderful. Fantastic collage papers. I look forward to seeing more from you. If you don’t mind, where can I purchase wet strength tissue paper? Or who manufactures it?
Thank you so much for the encouragement! I bought mine from www.carnivalpapers.com/ in the UK, but I understand their paper is available from Amazon too. Hope that helps.
@@janewestonart Yes that helps a lot. Thank you.
Great first video! Did you make your own gelliplate?
Thanks so much. The gelliplate is just the commercial one by Gel Press. 😊
Really enjoyed this video. I had always thought wet strength tissue paper was very expensive, but thanks to your link to Carnival Papers I have now bought some and it was quite reasonably priced. I see that it has a shiny side and a rough side - please can you tell me which side you work on? Thank you.
I think I've worked on the shiny side, though I don't know that it makes all that much of a difference. I would suggest you experiment and see which you prefer and if you can see a difference. Let me know if you do. 😊
Thank you Jane!
@@janewestonart
Jane please could I ask your tissue paper source I’m in the uk as well I keep looking and can’t decide which is the one to buy?
I got my wet strength tissue paper from www.carnivalpapers.com/. You can also buy it through Amazon. It is similar to deli paper but doesn't a wax sheen and it holds up to the wet of paints etc - especially if you are using it on the gelli plate. Regular tissue paper just turns to mush if it so much as sees a drop of water! 😊 I hope that helps!
Jane can I ask how you store your gel plates? I’ve seen so many different views on this 🤔
I store them in their original packaging. They come sandwiched between two pieces of thick acetate which I re-apply and then put the whole thing back into the plastic packaging. I've had my gelli plate for a few years now and it is as good as new.
@@janewestonart great, I’m glad you said that because that’s how I store mine too 😀 Thanks!
@@sandydorse6046 Hi Sandy, I came across this video (czcams.com/video/ow1CH6o7eUQ/video.html) about advice for caring and storing gelli plates. She suggests keeping them stored between 2 pieces of plain paper, which when you hear her explanation, makes perfect sense. Hope you find it helpful.
Did you get the wet strength tissue paper in the USA?
I bought mine from www.carnivalpapers.com/ in the UK, but I understand their paper is available from Amazon too. Hope that helps.
I forgot to ask - where can I purchase wet strength tissue paper?
I bought mine from www.carnivalpapers.com/ in the UK, but I understand their paper is available from Amazon too.
The only problem I see is that it is not acid free, archival.
I had a look and I do believe wet strength is acid free - whether it is archival I couldn't be certain as acid free and archival are 2 different things. I'm sure if you contacted the company that makes the tissue paper they could give you more specifics. I like using it as it isn't as waxy as deli paper and holds the paint better - but it is all personal choice and finding what works for you.
Hi Jane, this is a terrific first video. I have wanted to try wet strength tissue for a while because all the Americans talk about deli paper & it costs quite a lot here. I've tried parchment paper, but it is a little too waxy. Must get myself organised! By the way, I'm a new follower of your Instagram page, I go by my blog name minibookpixie over there 😊
How lovely to put a name with the face and the handle! 😊 Thanks for the lovely feedback both on here and on IG - I really appreciate it.
You gotta to try the wet strength tissue - it is a game changer and in my opinion better than deli paper. I got mine through Carnival Papers though they do sell through Amazon too. Do let me know how you get on!
@@janewestonart I ordered last night from Carnival Papers, had them bookmarked for 3 months. I'm excited to get the Gelli plate out 😊
I love finding new art to enjoy & as you & Nicole enjoy supporting each other, I knew I'd like your style. I am going to put my feet up with a coffee & get caught up on your videos. 😊
@@elfincrafter Enjoy! That sounds like a lovely idea!
Can't wait to see what you make with your new tissue and the gelli plate! 💗
