Mixed Media Monday! - Painty Papers! - Mark Making!

[@carolynchatham6376]

Not only are your videos informational but your enthusiasm is contagious 😷

[@sandikalin636]

What you did in this video is what we all did as kids but then we were told the. “Right” way to do it 😟😟. Creativity and play best kind of art. Thanks for this reminder Gayle

[@lynnsinclair123]

I love how you created with total abandon - paint flying and fingers coated. We should do everything in life with such joy.

[@Melinda-S]

It's a pleasure to see you having fun with mixed media! Love the pages you've created! Thanks for sharing.

[@alisonroth1374]

Gayle love your painting .Such freedom and fun!

[@Suessplendidmemories]

I love to watch you play. So inspirational.

[@billiejoethomason6075]

Always enjoy Mixed Media Monday 👍

[@sharonskains5049]

Watching you work is always so interesting and informative. I started this journaling journey standing in maybe a five foot square, and you have pushed my borders back to pretty much encompass the world. There is never a "last thing" to learn. I feel like an old dog who is getting younger by actually learning new things every day. Thank you for keeping creativity exciting and challenging.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I do think learning and trying new things helps keep us young! Yay, for old dogs learning new tricks!! 🎉😂❤️

[@susiemoore7226]

Hi Miss Gayle!! Wow talk about a crazy fun video...I have so many paints and they have just been sitting my art drawer...I think it's time to get those bad boys out and have me a little messy fun!! I was watching this at first and thinking this is the first time I've ever seen Gayle without her engagement ring or the band on your pointer finger, lol Thanks so much for sharing your fun play day with us and as always giving us inspiration🧵🎨 Sending you hugs from Kentucky💙

[@charlean_sherrod]

As soon as I saw most of your rings were off, I knew you were gonna have some serious fun. And that’s exactly what you did… 🤗🤗🤗 super great fun beautiful mixed media Monday… loved it 💕💕💕

[@CynthiaH914]

I enjoyed watching you play with the paint. I can hear the fun in your voice which makes it fun for the rest of us watching, too. It makes me want to grab my paint and start making marks on papers. Thanks so much for the fun and inspiring video.

[@KentuckyKrafter]

Such fun and great inspiration. Thanks for sharing

[@nancymoore1275]

Love this! I stopped at a thrift store over the weekend and picked up a roll of plaster cover paper? I have never heard of this before but it looked cool and I’m loving it. I’ve never found canvas like you have but this is “fun” 😊. Thanks for playing and taking us along 🥰

[@donnahunter3488]

Oh my friend, what fun it was watching you play with the paints!!! 😂 I loved the cover of your accordion journal as well. There’s nothing better than seeing what happens when you finish. The finished project just makes you smile!!! 😁♥️👍

[@ruthh.935]

Ah, what fun! Takes me back to my mixed media days. Time to dig out the marking tools and incorporate the mixed media in junk journal making.😀

[@heatherb7491]

You looked like you were having so much fun, it was enjoyable watching you. Luv and hugs xx

[@debbiev.1311]

This was sooo much FUN!! What I now know for sure...I need to buy me some more paint colors!! 😁🎨 Thank you for all the inspiration!! ❤🤗

[@sandralewisdesignbycolors4351]

I really enjoyed watching your creative process of you creating all the different types of journals.

[@susanboyter9034]

I love the way a good magazine page feels when you've layered a lot of mixed paints with the brayer. Sort of ends up feeling like thin leather suede fabric type feel. I love painty papers because all those colors makes me happy

[@kathw7020]

Love when you play, Good Morning Gayle.

[@marilyntorsch3970]

That was so much fun to watch you play with paint. You made so many pretty papers. Never, never boring! Thank you for sharing 🤗

[@janettegeorge2691]

Loved watching you play all the colours are fabulous x👍❤

[@artzology]

This was so fun! Love watching you have fun with painty papers! I haven't done this in a very long time so after watching you today my paints are calling me! lol! Great papers made today Gayle! ♥

[@susangazawaypapercrafting3749]

So much fun!

[@cindychrist638]

Now that is some serious play! I loved every moment! With a big snowstorm scheduled for my area soon, I will have plenty of time to imitate your painty playtime! Blessings -- Cindy

[@craftycat7212]

Very fun and interesting Gayle. Thank you for sharing this. Love the mark making. Hugs, Amy💕

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Gayle, loved watching you play with paint. The papers came out fabulous and can tell you had a real good time making them.

[@cathymoore1935]

Always fun to just play with paint! These turned out great!

[@joannoble4093]

What a fun day, Gayle. Thank you.

[@shanp8907]

This video made me smile this morning…it’s clear you were totally embracing your word of the year “play”. 😃 Have a fabulous week Gayle! 🤗🤗

[@catherinelittle2118]

Super fun today Gayle! More paint mixing and marking please.🤗

[@Gothlite-i1l]

That was FUN! You have inspired me to start my own box of textured items to use in wild abandon. I love the 2022 Gayle who has fun. (Wouldn't it be satisfying to actually use something up? A whole video of just that would be cool.)

[@freidagepner2370]

I loved this video so very much. Jeff was looking at face book while it was on and he kept commenting on what you were doing so I think he liked it too! First I love seeing the child like love of artistic play come out in you. I can just feel your happy! And then I just kept telling Jeff she is going to do this or that and then you would. For instance when you brought out the Saran Wrap, I knew you were going to wad it up and pat it in the paint and then on the paper. I use to do that on wood pieces I made back in the 90’s. When you were deciding what color to use on a paper and you didn’t want to do gold again. And I said try orange Gayle and you did. We are just so much alike! This video also made me remember the crafting things I did in the 90’s and it can transfer to what I do now. I know I’m talking a lot but I really loved this video it was fun!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks so much, dear Frieda! Big hugs to you and Jeff! ❤️

[@katherinetwilliams4254]

Love lol of these pages Gail. Looking forward to playing with paint myself. And looking forward to seeing these in your collages and journals!

[@mmonr]

I love this kind of random painting. The drop paper and wipe offs are indeed my favorites too.

[@donitamoore8123]

OOOoooo, I like these messy play days. But darn it Gayle, now I need to go buy some round plastic canvas. lol Can't wait to see what these become in the future. Have a blessed day!

[@loriericks3243]

A bit of play is such great therapy and sunshine for a cold winter day. This has been very fun to watch. But even better gives us a desire to do some painty paper are base papers. Plus use up our stored old paints and just junk mail or magazines paper using up anything and everything. Thank you for sharing. Love 💕 you happy vibes. Fun play day.

[@JannyHaak]

I am so behind on watching your video's, Gayle! But how fun to binge watch! The papers all turned out really cool! I just LOVE Mixed Media Monday's woohoo!😊💕

[@carolpowerslavenderdreamsc1599]

Good morning Gayle!! Oh my goodness...that was so fun watching how each of these pages turned out. Messy Monday with Gayle...love it!! Thanks for all the good ideas for making marks. Have an awesome day...💜

[@vanessarussell7997]

Good morning Gayle. I enjoy this video. I love to do messy projects. I will do this one with my 5 year old great grand who loves to craft with me. You have a bless and wonderful day.

[@mouseydeb3245]

Good morning Gayle! 💕 So much fun! Makes my fingers itch for a good painty mess. I made a couple of neutral collage master boards on icky 12 x 12 scrapbook papers yesterday. Guess what might happen to them now? 😂 Love these!

[@robinpowell2712]

This was enjoyable! Inspiring me to get my paints out.

[@beverlynielsen6714]

Good morning Gayle. Looks like you are having a fun play this morning. I will be watching to see what you do with all these papers. Take care and be safe. Hugs.

[@antoinettewilliamson5297]

You are so brave with your colours. If I did that I would get mud 😅

[@lindapark8467]

This is so much fun! I was watching a New Zealand artist, FroyleArt, the other day. She had some practically empty small paint bottles and she added a few sprays of water to them, covered, shook, and then put here and there on tissue paper that was already wrinkled. Several colors, then sprayed with water to encourage the paint to move. They turned out gorgeous! Thought I’d tell you in case you ever want to experiment doing this.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you! I’ll have to check out her video! ❤️

[@LynsAlteredArts]

Thanks for the recommendation, she does stunning work.

[@teresastevens2084]

How fun! I’m saving this to have myself a “mixed media Wednesday” this week as we are expected to get a foot of snow here in West Central Illinois starting Tuesday late afternoon! There’s no better place to be on a snow day than in my sewing/craft studio! I’m so new to mixed media, but I’ve already been searching my home for “tools” to use thanks to you! When hubby asked what I was doing, he immediately said, “My workshop is off limits, little lady!”. Isn’t he funny?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

😂. I love it! Plenty of stuff to find in the kitchen and with packaging material…okay, dear, we will stay out of your shop! 🤣👍❤️

[@samanthaphillips5102]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct But the hubby's shop may have hidden treasures in it so it can't be off limits! Right?!

[@jennylawson1980]

Good Morning Gayle, mixed media play day looks like fun. We got the chinook winds down here today, I definitely will be hibernating in my craft area sorting and organizing. I really like these free expression days, they really show your emotions and thoughts thru your creations.

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

I’ve always said I’m not able to be a painty paper maker. But I think after this video I could totally do it! Thanks for showing this now if I had paint, I could totally do it!

[@WoodlandInspired]

You are having to much fun! ☺

[@nancypyter1511]

Love how those prints turned out Gayle!

[@marylouklooster5056]

Hello Gayle! You must have read my mind... I was going to ask you to do some painty papers, because they are one of my favorite things. And here you are, making really cool painty papers! It's how I use up my goobery paint too... And it's been awhile, so you have inspired me. Thanks so much and have a great day!

[@tamraandrews7653]

So fun! I've been wanting to play with paint, especially after seeing your accordion journal cover. Your packing sponge thing reminds me of a favorite of mine. One of those dollar store glue eraser things that my son decided would be a cool stamp. He was right! Love watching you so much!

[@samanthaphillips5102]

Hi Gayle! Love the Mixed Media Mondays! Your painted, marked papers turned out great, as always! I really love the shimmer the gold adds to your pieces! Thanks for the great, fun video. You were having a blast and so was I, just watching you getting busy having fun! TFS Happy Creating! Samantha

[@milliedk]

This is so much fun - I love it too.... I often think I make a hot mess, but then I use the prints for backgrounds and diecutting words for cards or my journals or even diecutting letters and numbers to put into my mixed media journal - and it looks wonderful. Take care xxx

[@patbrez3079]

Good morning Gayle! Starting my day off with some crafting; still snowed in here so more crafting ideas is much appreciated here. Have a great day and Happy Crafting! 👍☃️❄️❄️❄️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Stay safe and warm, my friend! ❤️

[@donnaswisher8408]

Love mixed media stuff. I do something similar by using book pages under smaller things I paint. Did some just the other day that turned out pretty cool. Just needs some paint flicked on them to be finished. TFS. 😊

[@lindahyem5804]

Looks like lots of fun! Hugs

[@janetsiler8876]

I loved this video! I've never done painting papers but would love to give it a go sometime!

[@elizabethbeasterfield2250]

Brilliant! Stamping with the silicone hot pad blew my mind! Loved it in the metallic gold paint!

[@edie1414]

Good Morning. Getting my daily dose of Gayle ❤️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Edie! ❤️

[@melissasmith3297]

Other mark making tools I use free or cheap: Lego pieces the blocks or plates, receipt tape rolls (empty-cashiers at any store I'm sure will give them to you), variety of shelf liners, kids foam Stamps, cut into a cheap rubber spatula, cardboard for the lines, plastic forks, old zippers, broad lace with lots of open holes that's flat not ruffled, sheetrock joint tape nonadhesive kind, onion bags (again ask a local restaurant for them), and your good old plastic shopping bags instead of plastic wrap. Free scraps of foam puzzle flooring like used for playroom or gym flooring. Some companies give sample pieces in the mail. Hope this helps somebody.

[@inkedpaperart1572]

Oh great, now I have to go buy plastic canvas! Lol. I'm seeing a constellation/star journal in your future with those black painted papers. Love your play sessions! ❤️ Kate

[@crafterdeidra]

All of the papers turned out gorgeous. Loved the markings on them too. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@joanfriant211]

Awesome outcomes!!!

[@celineb.artstudio1891]

Merci Gayle.... très inspirant

[@valinajames209]

Ooooh I saw that you took some of your rings off and thought, "This is going to be goooood!"

[@lindapark8467]

Such great ideas! Wow!!!

[@sherryhearington9027]

So much fun! Got to do this ASAP! Thank youa

[@dianawible8760]

FUN! FUN! FUN! MORE!!!

[@amyrugala246]

Good Morning Gayle! It’s so funny. Every time I pick something up, I’m like thinking how can I create with this. I have become the quite rat pack lol. There is a use for everything when doing art, especially mix media. Have a wonderful day, Gayle.

[@tannabella6071]

Good morning! Hope you had a great weekend! Can’t wIt to hear about your retreat! Beautiful painting paper. Thanks for sharing! Blessings!💕

[@sandyflores2656]

Love paint day! The music paper would make some awesome diecut Fall leaves!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Great idea, Sandy! ❤️

[@milliehaas615]

WOW...I Love these pages and so simple to make. Thank you for sharing!!

[@cseedbead8180]

I love the texture of Saran wrap.

[@KriRama]

Good morning ☀️😁 I love all the random things you use for painting! I’m going to try this today with some tags.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Good morning! Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@annehahn9240]

Very fun!

[@SaraPlaysWithPaper]

I love this video so much!!!!! I want to make painty papers but worry about coverage and he things will look! You used every and all types of papers and really inspired me to just jump right in with both feet! THANK YOU!!!

[@redparrot9489]

I did shaving cream paper marbling this weekend and this seems easily as much fun as that. It’s curious to me how … ah … dissatisfied one can get with commercial paper when you can use paint and make your own. A friend wants a journal in a specific colour combo and making paper seems the most efficient method. Does this mean I am now a paper snob? 🤣🤣🤣🤣💕💕💕💕

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

😂🤣❤️

[@darleneboehm9666]

That was great. I learned so much. I’d love to get into more of this, so I appreciate you educating me so at least I’m not starting with nothing.

[@enchanteddreams7166]

Morning dear friend. Xoxo ❤ watching in real time! Off today woohoo. GAYLE TIME! xoxo

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Lorie! ❤️

[@10151957june]

Super cute, Gayle!

[@rebeccagable9629]

I also subscribed to "Home Companion" BC I've always loved Mary E's creativeness--but it's hard for me to de-construct those magazines!! I'm making painty papers with less attractive magazines/junk magazines first! Love your work...

[@vickinoeske1154]

I LOVE Mary Englebreit (sp?). I have several crates full her old magazines and every year I order on-line calendar. ❤

[@margaretcomella3318]

Fun!☃️👍❤

[@joycetuer7951]

Those are amazing!

[@relaxcutglue]

Question: Does the Rag paper tear easily? It appears to be thick, so I wasn’t sure if you could tear it or are their fibers in it? This was so fun to watch you get messy! I love making painty papers💖 Cleaning up the mess not so much lol!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

There are fibers in the rag paper. I haven’t tried tearing it yet, so will have to try that out. ❤️

[@gwenloveless]

Morning Gayle! The rag paper is good for “blotting” the extra paint off ( like off the music paper! Awesome mono printing day!

[@lynneaberr1878]

I think you had lots of fun getting messy today! 😆 LOL. I was wondering about the look that would be achieved brayering through the punchinello (sequin waste). I have various sponges, both hard and soft, something from a frozen meal, and a strip of tape from hardware store that looks a bit like screen, but not nearly as fine, and Ihave both small and large bubble wrap. I just don't have surface area for allowing multiple things to dry. I'll have to have a think (and likely some rearranging) before I attempt it. TFS!

[@tanjarains3394]

Those drop papers are fantastic… I’m seeing frames. Im thinking cut off the outside white part and use the painted frame as a mat for an 8 x 10 black and white photo and frame it. Gorgeous!!!!!!!

[@cseedbead8180]

Wonderful tutorial. I had lots of ideas. I'm just starting out so I do not have all your choices. But I'm working on it. Piece

[@maggieweicht3312]

Love the painting of the papers ❤️ question though, doesn’t the paint crack and chip when using it for a cover with out sealing it some how. I don’t know much about using paint. Anyway, enjoyed your video today. Thank you 😊

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I think it’s a good idea to seal any paper cover, so when I make the black paper into a cover, I’d Mod Podge over it. 👍❤️

[@cseedbead8180]

Suggestion on green and gold towards end with styrofoam spat black on it.

And , what did you think of the kC game last night? I cannot praise Patrick Mahomes enough. I just love that kid. Watching him on the sidelines, his expressions of kindness and never an attitude. Love him.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Me too! So sad they lost, but Patrick is a class act all the way. His momma must be so proud! ❤️
