I have never heard of gel printing! This is fascinating.

[@RatchetUpYourArt]

Thanks AJ!

[@BassPotter46]

Really good techniques! Thank you for sharing!❤️

[@RatchetUpYourArt]

@@BassPotter46 Thank you! That made my day 😍

[@carolpenn1155]

Thanks for this. I am itching to have a go now. 👏

[@RatchetUpYourArt]

Let me know if you have any questions; will be glad to help

[@brailleadventures]

Your gelli plate tutorial for beginners was on par with the classes I took at art school. WOW! I've always wanted to learn printing techniques but I was too intimidated. Not anymore!! I feel like I'm already addicted to gelli prints! Thank you Sheri for taking out the fear of learning a new medium.

[@RatchetUpYourArt]

Thanks Elizabeth, I was hoping to help those that felt that way. Let me know if you have any questions as you start your Gel Printing journey..

[@brailleadventures]

@@RatchetUpYourArt Thank you! I will let you know when I have questions. And I'm excited to watch more of your videos!!

[@LigeiaInOctober]

Sometimes the beginners teach better and describe the struggles best 😊 Now I understand when someone tells me “teach me!” And I’m like uuuhhh… but I just started I have no clue what I’m doing. But us beginners do know in this beginner phase. Of course we get farther with the “experts” but the best teacher is yourself as you try ❤❤❤ thanks for sharing you’r beginner videos

[@RatchetUpYourArt]

Thanks for the comments, and hope these help you along your journey! Have a Happy Holiday!

This is by far the best video I have seen for a beginner! My gelli plate is still in its packaging, but I'm excited to get it out now!

[@RatchetUpYourArt]

Awh, thank you that made my day! 💗💗

[@RatchetUpYourArt]

Ester, just checking in with you, have you opened that gelli plate, yet? If so, how is it going? If not, how can I help get you started?

[@sallystepp1964]

Thank you. This really helped me

[@ArtsyLadyCrafter]

Thank you so much for the wonderful tips and tricks! Visiting from the Files at our FB Gel Printing Enthusiasts group.

[@RatchetUpYourArt]

Thank you, I'm glad to hear they are helpful

[@SandraSallin]

I didn't know about this technique.

[@RatchetUpYourArt]

Sandra.. it can very fun and addictive to make these kinds of prints, I will have another video on the artists who have influenced this type of printmaking soon.

[@sarahmariakuipers3967]

Please help wat inks or paint I can use on my gelloplate I really struggling with it

[@RatchetUpYourArt]

I use many kinds of paints and planning a video on the different kinds you can use.. if you go to my CZcams shorts.. you can get an idea of what I use until I upload that video
czcams.com/play/PLlonm55wINKIhY30FbzaH1uxL6POoEo-e.html
What kinds of paints do you use now?

[@revCMF]

What do you suggest using for a pallet?

[@RatchetUpYourArt]

Hi Christina! You can use another smaller gel plate (that will get a bonus print) or you can use paper plate, teflon sheet, really anything you don't mind putting paint on... however, my favorite is another gel plate.

[@robertakeirn1870]

Very helpful, but I’m a little crazy about gel printing on a gel plate made by Gelli Arts. Not gelli printing. Don’t know why it bothers me so much, it just does. Sorry.

[@RatchetUpYourArt]

I agree.. the Gelli Arts plates are one of the best!
