Exploring the Gelli plate

I  have started a YouTube channel under The Shelley Studio.http://youtu.be/297xq_YIaQk
 I've been painting random stuff and doing an art journal for awhile now and I finally decided it was time to video tape it. I have watched so many art videos that I felt I could do it too. Hopefully it is a successful channel. 
My first video is about using the Gelliarts Gelli plate. That thing is so much fun. I really enjoy using it. The Gelli plate is a little pricy I purchased mine on Amazon. 
I don't have much money so I am using the cheap paint. In fact that is what they recommend. The craft paint stays wet longer and that makes them easier to work with. You can find craft paint at Walmart for less than a dollar. My paints have been around for quite a while and can be a little messy to work with. 
I used stencils and bubble wrap to create the patterns.  My next video will be creating something from one of the prints I have made.
Here are a few of my prints from the video.
