Looking Beyond - gel transfers

This is a video about using gel transfers in mixed media art. I have tried to explain a bit about how I try to do the gel transfers. I've had numerous good teachers - Misty Mawn http://www.mistymawn.typepad.com/ and Claudine Hellmuth http://claudinehellmuth.blogspot.com/ are two that I mention on the video.
I must also mention the beautiful music of Loreena McKennitt http://www.quinlanroad.com/ Without that magic, this video would be so much less interesting.

And thank YOU! I hope you had a wonderful time playing.

The music is of Loreena McKennitt, "The Old Way" identified late in the video.

Wishing for you a wonderful Holiday season as well.

@cinnamontoastandsuga

I believe that it is Loreena Mckinnet!!

[windyangels4u]

@enjoyart5 Exactly right.

I absolutely adore Loreena's music - use it on my videos frequently.

very insprational, i love your art. thanks for the tips. some videos i have seen suggest using a soft gel medium, i only have heavy gel would that work? atm I am trying Tar Gel on an image i printed on my printer, have 3 coats on it so far. do you think it will work and also how many coats do you use generally?

Your art is lovely. I will try this technique. What was the music played? It was very soothing.

[windyangels4u]

I am so glad to hear that you had success and that you were apparently having so much fun. That's an important part of the whole process of art, I think, to have fun.
