What is the best paint for Gelli® printing? Any acrylic paint will work and different paints behave differently. Spoiler alert- there isn’t one paint that is best. Why? Because it depends on what look you want as well as what paints feel most comfortable to you. In the video, I compare 5 different acrylic paints: [...]
Gelli Plate
I’m Prilled to share my latest guest post over at CreateMixedMedia! That’s not a typo…but I am prone to typos. I am using Prills on a Gelli® print as I share how I embellished and built up a print. Check it out over at CreateMixedMedia.com! And…just a reminder…the survey (and the giveaway that goes with it) [...]
Dylusions Paints
It’s the first of the month and that means Gelli® printing fun with the Colorful Gelli® Print Party! I’m taking Dyluions Paints and various texture making tools to turn a white box into a colorful box…you know how I am about white space. In the video, you’ll see how I play around and create textures and patterns [...]

Art journaling has such power for me. Why? Because sometimes it reminds me of important messages from time to time. And that is exactly what happened today. Notice her chin. There’s no paint there and that is rather unusual since this was a print from a fully loaded Gelli Plate. And then I stamped right over [...]
Would the 6″ round Gelli Plate be much different than the big one? I wondered…I wasn’t sure until I played with it. It is different! The size feels so different than the 8″ plate. And thanks to the size, what I could do with it in my art journal blew my mind. Take a peek at [...]
Art journaling is one of my favorite ways to let myself play. Thanks to Gelli printing, I have a rich and colorful place to start any time I want and you can too! I’m sharing 4 new videos showing how to make colorful Gelli prints in 21 Secrets Spring. Thanks to the very generous Hali [...]
There is one important thing to remember when Gelli printing with words. It’s a biggie. And I forget it all the time. How could I forget something so important? I get into a Gelli printing zone and my brain turns off and lets me create from the heart. What’s the important thing I forget? [...]
