I’m looking to buy my first gelli plate and I was wondering for those who use them, what size do you recommend?
The options are 3x5, 5x7, 6x6, 8x10, 12x12, 12x14.
Thanks in advance
Tagging @geekgirl because I know you make beautiful things with them
Bigger is better, you can cut up prints if you want them smaller. GG sent me one, I don’t think it’s quite 8x10 but it’s bigger than 6x6.
The first one I used was homemade, it worked pretty good!
I have nearly all the sizes and 8x10 is probably your best bet!

8x10 was the first one I bought after seeing all of @geekgirl’s prints…I have to tell you guys that I think she is a plant for us to buy all the things…I blame her for my multitude of purchases during this pandemic…
I agree with the above comments. Lately I have been using the 5 x 7” one just because it takes up less space when attempting a multi- step experiment. Also because I’ve been making postcards a lot.

I just ordered a smaller one as well for the happy mail craftalong…it would be used a lot…
Yeah I made my own and used it for a year before I bought one. It works fine. Doesn’t give quite as smooth a texture and hard to clean so I would periodically melt it and skim out the crud and reform.
