Gel Press Petites Monoprinting Plates 3 Piece - Circle Triangle Square - for Printmaking, Scrapbooking, Paper Crafts, Home Decor and More - 10812-CIR

These small gelli plates are incredibly handy. I use them for testing, but their size makes them ideal for application on clay or other surfaces.

Really like the gel pads. I do a lot of crafts and these transfer My projects easily.

I really love these little gel plates. They come in handy when doing mixed media collage art and you just need a little something for smaller pieces. I love my larger jelly plate or doing big pieces of art but these come in handy and a lot easier to clean when you just need a little something added to your painting. Highly recommend.

When I first received my package it was missing the hexagon plate. Because I purchased it on Amazon I returned the item and quickly received a replacement with all of the plates. There was no shipping charge for sending the product back. I love these gel press plates with these shapes that I can use in my art journal. They are high quality and easy to use and clean.

Work well but too expensive.

This product was great and offers a fun spin on using gel plates. The shapes are a perfect size and love that this comes with 3 different shapes. (Each one is about the size of the palm of my hand.) These can be good for little hands as well. I work as an art therapist and clients have been using these and really enjoying just playing with different designs.It's best to be close to running water or bowl of water to clean off the plates. Depending on how much paint is used you may end up using lots of paper towels for cleaning without much water. It doesn't take much paint to cover the surface- 2-3 small drops- too much more and it gets messy quick. If you don't have a brayer- a paint brush can work just as well to cover the plate. I would suggest washing the plates right after each use. Some paints may slightly stain the plate but it doesn't affect its performance. I keep the plates sandwiched between the acetate sheets they were delivered in and store in a plastic storage container.

These are great for working small. I don’t have a lot of space, and sometimes I don’t have much time to work, so these minis were a surprising way to work around those limitations. I can sit down and quickly add blocks of paint (nice thin layers that dry fast) to a journal. I was able to quickly experiment with lots of textures and colors to see what i like best. I layered shapes on a single sheet of paper with minimal effort—the alternative would have been to stencil these shapes onto a larger gel press, then print them. That would be fine, but this is faster. AND—you can get nice crusty paint edges on the edge of the gel shapes that you wouldn’t get with the other method.I was afraid I wouldn’t use these that much, but my experience is exactly the opposite. I’ve seen where folks use these shapes to print blocks of color into patterns on fabric. That will be great to try, too. More handy than I would have ever expected.Update August 2019Added pic of using these in a journal.

I love these little gel plates. I'm off to order the other shapes. Very easy to use with lots of different mediums (paint, ink, alchohol ink).
