A Little Gel Plate Magic… Using Only Water!

A Simple Trick with Stunning Results

Barb and I stumbled onto something pretty incredible this week — a gel printing technique that uses nothing but waterand produces the most beautiful, soft, colorful prints. The secret? Rice paper. Its absorbency helps lift leftover paint in a way that creates dreamy textures and layered color that you truly have to see to believe.

It took plenty of trial and error (and a fair amount of laughing at ourselves), but once we figured it out… wow. Pure magic.
Even better? This process creates two prints at once — the “ultimate pull” and a bonus gel print that appears as part of the process. Two for the price of one!

In the video, you’ll see step-by-step how we made it work — and at the end we share all the colorful papers we created along the way.
