Logical Decisions with a Stencil and a Gel Plate
Why would I use a gel plate with a stencil? Why black paint and not another color? I'm sharing the logic behind my decisions in the video. Visit the blog post at acolorfuljourney.com/?p=37039
This is just one way you can use stencils on a gel plate! If you'd like more ways to get more out of your stencils and deepen your understanding of layers on a gel plate, check out my online workshop Stencil-rific Layers acolorfuljourney.com/?page_id=32967

You can find me designing stencils for StencilGirl Products, teaching in person and online workshops and sharing the message of O.O.P.S. here on UA-cam and at aColorfulJourney.com
What does O.O.P.S. stand for? It stands for Outstanding Opportunities Presenting Suddenly.
Those “failures” and “mistakes” that we so harshly criticized ourselves about actually became true gifts as soon as you start saying O.O.P.S. Try saying Oops in an angry tone. It makes it even more silly!
I just can’t take myself seriously when I say Oops which is just what I needed to play. I began to play, to have fun, and to embrace all of my “mistakes”.

What is Powerwax and how to use it in an art journal
Переглядів 10 тис.3 місяці тому
What is Powerwax? That's what I asked myself when I saw it. It's a cold wax that is water based from powertexproductsusa.com/ That water based part is huge to me because that means Powerwax plays with acrylics! So I turned on the camera and jumped in. In the video, I'm sharing 9 things I learned while exploring and experimenting in my art journal. S U P P L I E S Some of these links may be affi...
Why I'm Not Using These
Переглядів 6 тис.5 місяців тому
Why am I not using some of my art supplies? Is it hoarding? Nope, it was something else and it was an easy, playful fix! Now I'm excited to use these old stickers after 10-15 years! There are some practical questions about this, but I figured it out as I went! Stencils are quick way to get patterns, designs, and text into your layers but what I've shared here is just the tip of the iceberg of w...

Thanks for mentioning address labels: I have tons of those that I can use; I forget to use them for mailing plus I do so little mailing and it seems every charitable organization sends those to get me to reciprocate with a donation.
I guess in most of the cases you kept the stickers for the sticker shape since your paint was mostly opaque and covered the sticker diagram
Fun!
What a neat idea to do!
Fun!
Some photo papers will stick to a Gelli Plate (the manufactured ones.) However, I have used photo paper on homemade jelly plates without an issue.
Thank you
great video! i'm new to Gelli printing and this was super helpful.
This is realistic, practical and so many original ideas! Thank you so much for sharing!!! ❤
You can do this much quicker with any image film such as Apollo. Print it on an ink jet printer then apply a clear gel medium on the surface you want to transfer to. Rub with a thumb carefully or spoon. then wait3-5 minutes. then slowly lift the film. Check Gary Reef's video for better instructions.
using too much paint. needs to be as thin as block printing
I adore your free spirited style!!❤
Idk how i missed your channel but..about halfway thru i noticed that the way youre so enthusiastic and the info was totally clicking with me, so i subbed 🎉 thanks for sharing . Im excited to try this
Wouldn't Goo Gone take the sticky glue residue off and make the plate usable again?
Fun fun fun!!!
Woohoo! Thanks Carolyn. You really make me laugh! 😮😅😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤
I like the last one the best. ❤
Gee you crack me up!!! You're so funny!! Thanks.😊😊😊🙏❤️
Great tutorial Carolyn! Thanks ❤🎉😊
You are a natural presenter! I love your style and your easy-to-understand processes. I just started experimenting with Gelli printing, and feel like some videos skip some very important details. Thank you!
Turned out pretty amazing.
very interesting... it sounded like you are saying painting porn, lol. I think you are pouring? Yes, I see now you are pouring, not porning, lol. I love to paint small paintings too so I am going to experiement with your hanging...gotta listen again to see what you used to hang. Thanks, I teach watercolor at Roswell Visual Arts Center in Roswell, GA.
you're so funny! I'm cracking up. wasn't expecting that on a diy tutorial! refreshing
How much do we all love that art studio?? 😍 omg what a dream
The “found poetry” was a new idea to me. I am inspired now!
Wow! 60 bucks + worth of paint to make muck. Genius
Just signed up for your newsletter! Thanks! Now I can find out❤
Surprising with all those bright colors! Do tell!🤔
Is it just because you wanted gray paint?
Can’t afford to waste paint like that. 😮
It wasn't wasted -not a drop of it.
Hi, do you have a good gel plate recipe ?
Thank you., That was very helpful. I just subscribed!
So inspirational - so many storage ideas - tfs!
Yeah, it’s interesting how our ideas of an object or a shape (envelope vs. paper sheet) change how we perceive decoration.
Love this! And absolutely love all of your videos! Just discovered you and just getting into junk/art Journaling and collage. Always loved collage and saw your art on Google. The bright colors are sooo good and completely attracted my eye! So excited to use your page as I start my artistic journey. Your videos are so helpful and sooo my style! Really speaks to me. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Ohhhhhh! Thank you as always for a great “new” idea!
❤Thank you.
looks terrible but it will certainly stand out!!
This is fantastic because I can have my husband watch it and understand better WHY I want my studio to look a certain way. I’m about to do a studio update and appreciate the ideas and your thinking behind them.
Great music!
You’re such a scientist!
Literally kept waiting for this to be interesting
Logic was one of my favorite classes in college. I attribute it to playing Rocky’s Boots as a child.
That's a hoot! Wild how what we do when we're kids shows up later!
Thank you for all the tips and ideas.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Carolyn - great idea for lifting the mask off - thank you. Your images turned out great !! Logical? what's that? 😁
It's logic that works in my head lol!
@@CarolynDube Hey - I LIKE your head! :D lol
Genius about pressing on the mask to cause an edge to lift. I'm shaking my head at myself!!!!!
Thanks Wanda! I've actually tried a bunch of ways to do it, and this one is by far the easiest because I've almost always have my fingers with me lol!
Love those!
So glad you enjoyed it!
A gel plate is my favorite way to use stencils- all due to your influence!!🤣🌈❤️
I am happy to the blame for that Nancy! It's just so fast🤣
Wonderful information. Does the power wax increase the translucency of semi translucent collage paper? Does it need a final coat of acrylic or varnish if you want the effects to last in a framed piece?
Would have been useful to see some colour mixing
