Gel Printing with the Gelli Arts® Feather Printing Kit

Hi there! It’s Marsha here today sharing a fun project you can do with the Gelli Arts® Feather Printing Kit. The Feather Printing Kit contains everything you need for gel printing. The white feathers in the kit are perfect for gel printing on, but have you ever tried to use feathers as a texture tool? The results are stunning and super detailed. Let me show you! Step 1: Place your Gelli Arts® printing plate on a smooth flat surface. Take a sheet of paper and tape it to the surface on one side to create a hinge. This will make aligning the paper easier because the sheet can’t move in between prints. Step 2: Roll a drop of acrylic paint onto the Gelli Arts® printing plate with the roller. You can use more than one color if you like! Step 3: Use a texture tool in the paint to create texture or leave the paint as is for a solid colored background print. Step 4: Place the paper on the Gelli Arts® printing plate and print the first layer. Step 5: Roll a layer of contrasting color onto the plate with the roller. Step 6: Take one or two feathers and ruffle them a bit. Place them on top of the painted plate and pull a second print on top of the previously printed layer. Step 7: Remove the feathers and pull a third print on top of the previously printed layers. You can use the feathers over and over again. Just make sure that the paint on the feather is dry before using it for another print otherwise it might stick to your paper. Enjoy gel printing with Gelli Arts® and feathers!
