Thanks Joanna!

oh I'm so glad to hear this! Apologies for the delayed reply; I just got back from vacation yesterday 🙂

You're very welcome. Thanks for leaving a comment :-)

Hmmm. I have shared the small paper paintings all over the place... Instagram, Facebook and yes, even here on KZbin. Lots of people have found 'this stuff' interesting LOL!

Oh I'm so glad you found it helpful! The other thing I tell myself all the time; "Not every piece needs to be a masterpiece. Finish it up. Move on. Apply what you learned." xx

Thanks for watching Margaret! I do enjoy making these :-)

Thanks! I'm going to be sad when this weekly focus is finished... although I do have a new venue to show them at later this summer. So perhaps more are in my future?

Ooh, I didn't know a round gelli plate existed! I may have to invest in one LOL!

Thanks for watching Kerry! I enjoy stitching these little snippets together. It’s also a way of journaling my studio practice for me to look back on!

Happy to help! Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you! And thanks for watching.

I love Murphy's oil soap for my brushes; never thought of using it for brayers and stencils. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks Avanelle! I'm like you; I prefer to cut to the chase LOL! Looking forward to more conversations with you in the future!

Yay! You should! It doesn't take fancy materials to get started!

Thanks for the question! There is a bit of double entry, BUT I have published my public AA page to my website as my main shop page. So every time I update AA it automatically updates on my website. My sales are not frequent, so it hasn't been a time problem thus far ;-)

Thanks so much! 😊 I enjoy making these little shorts. Another way to explore creativity right? (And thanks for subscribing xx)

Thanks! I set it up a while ago as a place to store No Brush Required episodes off of Instagram. And am planning on creating new videos regularly. It's such fun!

Thanks!

Thank YOU! I really appreciate your support. Working on my next video today :-)

Sue, it is one of many mandela stencils that came in a package of 100 from Amazon. And none of them were labelled.... Sorry not to be more help!

@@tamaragrandart that’s what I figured…😁. I’ve seen those packages and always thought about it buying them. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I appreciate it.

totally worth the spend. I think I paid $35 for the pack? And lots of inspiring ideas with stencils I probably wouldn't have bought on their own!@@suetraviss8888

It really is! Have you tried making papers like this Laurie?

You're very welcome Michelle. I'd love to see what you end up doing with it!

Thanks so much for your kind comments Rosabel. Welcome!

Thanks! I'm excited to see the final piece!

Thanks Luke! It reminds me of the way sunlight penetrates the water on a beautiful summer day!

Thanks Lynn! My absolute favourites!

Thanks for the message (and the reminder that this piece is still sitting in a big pile of unfinished work... maybe 2024? LOL!)

Thanks for watching and getting in touch! I struggled with cleaning my gelli print as well. The advice I had was to clean it with warm water and a bit of soap. That never worked very well. After some searching, the best way I've found to clean it has two steps; (1) when you're all done pulling prints, put a thin layer of white paint on, press a piece of paper over and leave it to dry for a few minutes before pulling the paper up (this will pull up most of the underbits of colour), (2) apply a bit of hand sanitizer to the plate and gently wipe it up with a lint free paper towel (I use blue shop cloths). Takes a couple of passes, but always works. And remember to store the plate in the original packaging. Keeps it moist. Have fun!

Hi Cath. Thanks so much for reaching out to chat! I love my gelli plate and it just so happens that my new year's project will include the creating of lots of new papers. I'll film some of it and share as I go. Happy New Year!

Thanks Sue for watching and sharing your lovely feedback. I really appreciate it!

Thanks so much Diane xx

Thanks for watching! This is a really good question. Not everybody who uses ArtWork Archives has their own website too. I do for a couple of reasons. 1. I own my website. It's my domain and I have complete control over what I share there. If Artwork Archives ever changes their program, my profile there will have to follow their changes. If they cease to exist, all my hard work will too! 2. I want to be able to create other types of content to share. Videos, online courses, members only shops, monthly Studio Notes , an email sign up list, Instagram integrations etc. I can't do that on AA. 3. Forms of payment taken. AA integrates with PayPal. I prefer to use Stripe and give Canadian clients the option to pay via e-transfer. I can't do that on AA. I may not use both forever, but for now, it's a really nice tool to keep track of all my inventory, exhibitions and clients, alongside my website. Hope that helps! Tamara

Thanks for watching Wanda. Happy this inspired you!

Thanks for sharing! Now I have to ask, do you actually make things with the papers? Or just keep them because they are so beautiful? LOL! (Guilty here!)

Thank you for asking. I do frame some of them, for local exhibitions. Also I’m making notebooks, and fill them with prints mixed with plain papers. I have just started to make collage on canvases, so I’m really a newbie.

@@lillemorlagergren8770 being a newbie is the best. Sky's the limit!

Oh we could have easily chatted with him for hours too! What a great conversation with a really generous man.

Thanks for listening Darlene! There were so many great take-aways for me!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Let me know if you give it a go!

Thanks Marilyn. I love to hear this!

Thanks so much for your kind words Margaret! I appreciate you watching and commenting xx

Thanks so much Lisa for taking the time to watch and comment. I'm really excited by the direction my work is taking and am looking forward to having the opportunity to show some of it locally this spring!
