I am so thrilled to announce my new free mini class called Gel Print Cheatsheet!

If your gel prints keep coming out muddy and you don't know why, then this class is for you. And layering can be confusing too!

The problem usually isn't just your technique. It's that you don't have a reference guide built around your own paints and supplies.

So you're basically just hoping for the best every single time πŸ™ˆ

I made a free mini class that fixes exactly that. 

It walks you through creating your own personal guide, so you always know what your colours and layers will do before you commit to a print.

It's free, it's quick, and it actually works 😍

Comment CHEATSHEET below and I'll send you the link. 

This class is perfect for beginners as well as those looking to improve their gel printing practice.

Take that gel plate out of it's packaging and fall in love with printmaking all over again πŸ’•

You asked, so I listened and this is my gift to you all to finally help learn to print through practice.

Because practice makes progress.

I made a mini pocket accordion journal which is one of my favourite ways to create a keepsake album or notebook with plenty of pockets to add tags and hidden journaling 😍

Using patterned scrapbook paper makes it super easy to create a project that comes together easily like magic ✨️

Wednesdays are my quietest days as I have the hous Wednesdays are my quietest days as I have the house completely to myself. Alina goes to nursery 3 days a week now and I've managed to set up a routine for myself on those days after dropping her off: some form of exercise or a walk, and then a cup of tea and then off to my beautiful loft art studio.

I'm so lucky to have this sunlit space which really does feel like a sanctuary, a sacred space where I come back to myself. Where I make time for me.

It's so important to fill your own creative cup first, before you can pour your love and service into others πŸ™πŸΎπŸ’•

In 4 months (yikes) Alina starts full time school 😭 so I try to romanticise these days with small grounding rituals. It's so important to make time for yourself amidst the demands of life πŸ’•

Today is a filming kind of day and I am working on some commissions, collaborations and also filming content for Story Printer: Gel Prints With Soul which is my signature online course. 

I so have loved pouring my heart into it and I am pleased to say that it will be coming back again, bigger and better soon.

Did you make time to do something that gives you joy today? How are you all doing? πŸ’•

It's the last day 😭 Gel Print January Day 15: It's the last day 😭

Gel Print January Day 15: Fibre

Waaaahhh how is it the end of January already, it flew by in a flury of activity and life  happening!

Textiles, fibre and string are some of my favourite textures to use in gel printing because when you get that paint thickness and tackiness juuuussstt right, the pulled gel print looks almost 3D which does quite translate so well on camera.

Today was not a clean hand day πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I want to say thank you to everyone who took part in the challenge and took the time to comment and share not just my content but also uplift other participants too πŸ™πŸΎ

I am so incredibly lucky to have a community of kind hearted, like minded creatives, which i think is something we all need right now.

Next week is the free zoom session and Q&A! Comment GPJ26 to get on the list ✨️

This is a 18 minute video condensed down into a shorter format to make it easy to watch here :)

The full video of me yapping about my proceas is available in the Gel Print January 2026 classroom and if you would like the full list of prompts, along with access to free Q&A sessions with me:

Have you been playing along or just enjoying watching? I would love to know πŸ‘€βœ¨οΈ
