Gelli Plate Backgrounds
CarefreeSadie:
A gelli plate is the meduim you do plate printing on. It is a plate made of jel material that paint does not absorb into.
It's this
You roll out paint with a brayer!
Here is a really neat lady doing jelly printing. She is a hoot and does really good work.

So cool that you can post a video!!
Thanks Sadie! That is really neat!
Now at the beginning she puts the paint ON a gelli plate? (I know later in the video she says take the paper off the gelli plate). Her gelli plate looks like a large acrylic stamp block that you put clings and acrylic stamps onto……did she make that base she put the paints onto?
It looks like I could do this using my large Martha Stewart stamp block (it's 5x7 roughly)---which would be great to have another use for it b/c I really do not use that stamp block b/c it never stamps evenly. >:( In the video you posted, she puts the paper onto the base and presses -- so the unlevelness wouldn't matter in my acrylic block.
I like how the bubble wrap made patterns. Her results were really cool!
This gives me some ideas and another thing to add to my list of things to try! :laugh:

The gelli plate is what she puts on that acrylic plate. It is a giggly, bouncy sort of jel stuff. It has some give to it. I have heard of people using an acrylic block but I don't think you would get the same results. The lady in the video used to just put her gelli plate on a piece of card stock and then decided that might not be a good idea so her partner made the acrylic block to put it on. There are all sorts of videos on youtube that show what a gelli plate is and how you use it.
CarefreeSadie:
The Clarity Stamp Channel on youtube has some really neat stuff not just gelli plates.

The video where she explains the acrylic plate under the gelli plate.

Thank you Sadie for the video! That makes more sense now that I see her moving the gelli plate around. Like a square gummy worm!
Her plate reminds me of those large sticky squares I put on my acrylic blocks so that I can mount my uncounted rubber stamps to the acrylic block. They are sticky and thin. Is the gelli plate sticky?
