Have you heard about the Gelli® printing craze?I recently got a few of these fun play arts to try out. You may ask what are these if you have not used them before. These gel plates allow you to produce a textured print on fabric or paper with the use of stencils and stamps. Sounds great, in the past individuals made home ones using gelatin powder.
Using them to make wonderful creations is very easy and alot of fun.
- With your plate laid out at your work area, cover it with paint. You can use acrylic paints if you like. Inks and Dyes should not be used on Gelli® plates because the gel can absorb the ink and permanently stain it. Acrylics do tend to dry fast so make sure you work quickly.
- Place your stencil down on the wet paint and lay the material that you are printing on over the stencil.
- Use your hands to press the material down into the paint. Lift the material off and you have your printed press.
- Coat your plate with a thin layer of acrylic paint.
- Press your stamps (or anything with texture) into the wet paint. You are essentially removing the paint from the plate.
- Lay your material on the stamped plate and press it into the paint with your hands.
- Lift the material off the plate and you have your printed piece!
Gel Printing Plate looks and feels like gelatin, but is durable, reusable and stores at room temperature. It’s easy to clean and always ready for printing. Monoprinting on a Gelli plate is simple and fun. We are having so much fun with our creations. Please check them out online at http://www.gelliarts.com/
Here are some videos that you can use to help you create some wonderful projects:
We all need a little fun in our lives, so I am proud to be able to give away one of these kits to a lucky reader.
