[@createart2iowa]

I bought your latest digital collage papers! They are wonderful!

[@debbiedennisart]

The copper and turquoise is so beautiful together.

[@FroyleArt]

I just love it! 😘 cheers

[@G.G.8GG]

That happy laugh is like a Froyle hug. I smile every time.

[@FroyleArt]

Oh you are so beautiful! Thank you! Cheers!

[@golalehkamran9529]

Dear Froyle. I always enjoy watching your videos. I have learned sooooooo much from you. Thank you. Would you be interested in creating a video on how you store your papers blank or colored in your studio to keep it organized? I would love to learn that from you too.

[@FroyleArt]

Thank you so much, yes I have covered that in one or two of my videos! But I forget which ones! All the best, cheers

[@VanessaWestwood]

Omg! I love you! You’re hilarious and fun! Just make me in a happy mood and laugh!

[@FroyleArt]

Haha! Thank you! Happy creating, cheers 😘

[@sarahpeck2417]

Great minds! I bought 2 of those rollers to support Ukraine a while ago with exactly the same purpose in mind - well, that and for making my clay tiles. I was shouting at you in the video "Froyle, put the roller in water NOW before it dries." Did you hear me yelling? Don't you just love the prints they make. Thanks so much for another jaunt in your studio. Love it.

[@FroyleArt]

Haha! I love it! Thanks for joining me! 😘 cheers!

[@elainelucas7634]

I just love to look at your amazing videos and love your happy laugh...greetings from South Africa

[@FroyleArt]

Oh hello to South Africa! 👋 So nice to hear from you! 😘 I just love creating!Thanks for joining me! Cheers!

[@user-rz8dc6il5y]

I loved everything about this episode. The rolling pin was magic, the bath mat, drawer liners, old CD's and I've been here quite a while so the secret circles from the hard ware shop are very familiar. Only thing missing was Nana's favorite breakfast bowl. I do believe it got left behind in the big move. Fabulous episode. Congrats made my day.

[@FroyleArt]

Haha! Oh yes it did! 😘 thanks for joining me! 👍🏼 happy creating! Cheers Froyle

[@kristinaandthegerman4554]

I have purchased many of those rollers for the bakers in my life. Before I saw this video, I started thinking hmmm, can I use that for the gelli plate? Then lo and behold I find this video. As a sidenote, I Purchased my rollers from Ukraine artists. I wanted to support them since Russia is doing them such a disservice. Peace and best wishes to you.

[@FroyleArt]

Me too!!! That’s why I purchased mine! Cost a fortune but I wanted to support the cause! 👍🏼 I hear you can buy them real cheap on Temu! 🤣🤣🤣 but we know we did a good thing! 😘 Happy creating, cheers

[@terryfrank3107]

Ah ha! I have been driving unused CD’s around in my car because the recycling center wouldn’t take them and it didn’t feel right to put them in the trash. I will be bringing them back into the house and getting out my gelli plate! This was great!

[@FroyleArt]

Haha! Thats fantastic! So much fun!! Cheers!

[@sushanart]

Yes! 😆🩵🙏🙌

[@jamieherron8300]

When you do the blue one, you can call it Gelli-fish!

[@FroyleArt]

Bahahahaha! 🤣🤣 I love it! 👍🏼 cheers!

[@julieparker1114]

My favourite one is the rolling pin, but they all look wonderful. Putting a printable paper on to pull up is a great idea!

[@FroyleArt]

Thanks for joining me! Cheers Froyle 😘

[@jneigler]

Of courseI remember. The round rubber plumbing seals. I bought some, too.

[@FroyleArt]

I so love them still! 👍🏼 thanks for being here! 😘 cheers!

[@JulieTorrens]

Absolutely Fabulous! Your work is stunning. I appreciate you sharing your time and talent with us. Many thanks❤

[@FroyleArt]

Thank you so much! 😘 cheers!

[@sushanart]

Bubble wrap is always a winner, but my big favourite this time was the bubbly bath mat. Loved it! 😇🩵🙏🙌

[@FroyleArt]

So much fun!!! Cheers!

[@normanearhoof5274]

Yep plumbing washers! 😊

[@FroyleArt]

Love it!! 👍🏼

[@lifeunfiltered4822]

I would love to see a finished art piece made with these prints now.

[@sharonrazmzan4777]

All were fabulous, but the contrast of the CD on printed paper was my favorite. And yes, I had watched your original video depicting the washers from the hardware store! Simply inspiring. Thanks and have a great week!

[@FroyleArt]

Thanks for joining me! 😘 So much fun! Cheers!

[@melindareynolds7867]

Awesome texture ideas! Thanks so much.

[@FroyleArt]

Thanks for joining me! Cheers Froyle 😘

[@Karibee61]

Loveyour approach and personality. ❤😂😊

[@FroyleArt]

Thank you! 😘

[@tomcat5151]

I'm upset (not really, but kind of). TL;DR: I can't afford a love affair with this art style/process. Also, you do beautiful work! You're so talented. I just made a decision to get back into art - something I've been avoiding for 'lack of inspiration'. I decided to try a new medium, because that always adds excitement! I literally just got home from buying watercolor supplies 15 minutes ago. I came to youtube to learn watercolor, but I get this video?! I've never seen anything like this I absolutely love it. I'm in love with everything about this from the materials to the process to the results. The way I feel called to this type of art (I barely know what I'm looking at) is something I haven't felt in a minute. I'm excited to feel it...but the timing is so wrong. It's like not believing in love at first sight until feeling it for yourself, but you happen to catch that feeling 15 minutes after you accepted your partner's marriage proposal.

[@FroyleArt]

Wow!!! Just go with it! 😘 fall deep & hard & create great art! 🥰 cheers Froyle

[@roamingqueen]

That magical copper-turquoise-bubble wrap-creation at the very beginning is my favourite one this time. You've caused some itchy fingers here because I'll HAVE to play with both colours, too. 🤩🤩🤩 The big FAT bubble wrap left such beautiful marks as well! Thank you for this video, Froyle, and enjoy your weekend! Aloha from Berlin ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@FroyleArt]

Thank you! Happy creating! 😘 cheers!

[@normanearhoof5274]

Bath mat was my fav! Thanks!

[@FroyleArt]

Oh I love that!!! 👍🏼 I want to play some more with all of these items! 😍 Happy creating! Cheers!

[@MsToxicavenger]

Flush valve gaskets!

[@FroyleArt]

Love it! 😍

[@bconsilio3764]

From the toilet repair section. To replace the current gasket.

[@FroyleArt]

Haha! You got it!! Cheers!

[@ellynpelikan8792]

Every time I say right o you remind me of my Mum. She was a Wellington Kiwi

[@FroyleArt]

Haha! I love it! 😘 cheers!

[@heddadoyle4237]

Speaking of unusual items - I was husking corn on the cob and took the silk from the husk, dipped it into white paint and lightly pressed it into a collage I’m making. It turned out great!

[@FroyleArt]

Oh I would love to see that! 😍 so much fun! Cheers! 😘

[@lorraineburt3116]

I’ve saved the brown dried silk, partially pulled apart, to use in the winter. The green silk can also be dried and saved. Garden is a great place for texture!

[@brendaclark2703]

Good afternoon Froyle, love them! They are all so beautiful. I have been playing with my Gelli plate! Thanks to you I am having so much fun experimenting with colours and texture . Have a very blessed rest of your weekend. Thanks again, so much 🌻❤️💐

[@FroyleArt]

Thank you so much! 😘 Happy creating! Cheers!

[@XenobiaF]

Those circles are from the plumbing section!

[@FroyleArt]

Bingo! You win! haha! I love it! Cheers!

[@nancywalker7302]

I love the rolling pin, so pretty!

[@FroyleArt]

So much fun! I’m going to have another play with that today! 👍🏼 cheers!

[@suzyallen1726]

That was so fabulous to watch and of course as usual you make every minute so enjoyable and fun. My favorite was the dream catcher. I wonder why the x and os didnt show much. Great job.

[@FroyleArt]

Thank you so much! 😘 so much fun!! Cheers!

[@JulieTorrens]

@suzyallen1726 Hey there friend! These gel prints are awesome huh? I am sure we both can find some cool objects and our acrylics. 😀✨️

[@memo1138]

[@jas8815]

I thought that first one was going to be a big mess, then you pulled it off and I thought, "Oriental tapestry...dragon scales!!! It was a beauty! You just never know with the gelli plate.

[@FroyleArt]

Haha! I love it! 😘 cheers!

[@maryfellows4159]

So awesome Froyle! I love the rolling pin! The CDs were cracking me up, lol. I enjoy you so much. Another texture that works fabulous are textured wallpaper samples. They work beautifully 🥰. Thank you for your generosity in sharing all your ideas and talent! Xx. Mary Anne

[@KirkwoodStudio]

Always love watching you. Question do you ever clean your Brayer between rolls?

[@FroyleArt]

Sometimes when I’m changing colours, I just grab a baby wipe quick & easy!! 👍🏼 cheers!

[@createart2iowa]

[@FroyleArt]

[@raeleneinglis4529]

Kia ora Froyle from almost sunny Dunedin. I loved all the fabulous papers and such great ideas for mark making. I’m heading to Mitre 10 for toilet washers and then to the local dollar. Keep up the great work!

[@FroyleArt]

Thanks so much! 😘 Happy creating! It’s a great day for it! Cheers!

[@sandyfranklin1123]

Love the toilet washers!!!

[@FroyleArt]

[@user-cz4nl9te7o]

The rolling pin thingy is for making special type of biscuit/cookie for that area of the world. Of course I can't remember the name of it. There are also presses you can use.

[@FroyleArt]

So much fun! 😘 cheers!

[@mendyhand3895]

Bath mat squished. 👍👍👍👩🏻‍🎨

[@FroyleArt]

Haha! 🤣🤣 love it! Cheers!

[@G.G.8GG]

That violet with bronze - mmm. Mmmm.

[@FroyleArt]

Thanks for joining me! Cheers Froyle 😘

[@esthercurtis6540]

Okay I just laughed out loud with you when the tissue paper broke. LOL! What is the copper paint brand?

[@FroyleArt]

Haha! I love it! That one is Golden baby!!! 👍🏼 there is a link in the description 😍 happy creating! Cheers!

[@suzijorgensen6545]

They're from plumbing stuff!

[@FroyleArt]

They so are! 🤣🤣🤣

[@doninis1354]

All of the stamps can be used to make strukture, too. I love to do two by one taking paint off the plade and using the paint on the stamp to make a nother. I am sure you do this, too, ad least some times 😉 to pik up the "itums" from the plade I use glue on a tooth pic (or kind of) or I use these poster stripes, for bigger "stamp" peaces I use two to pick them up, so you still can use both sides otherwise I glue a permanent handle on.

[@FroyleArt]

So much fun! 😘 cheers!

[@kj7238]

Those all turned out so pretty! Thank you!

[@FroyleArt]

Thank you! 😊 cheers!

[@ArtyAntics]

You have got me wondering now, what have I got that makes texture? How do you store all the texture making item’s because I end up with them everywhere.

[@FroyleArt]

Haha! Once they are dry I have a few boxes! 👍🏼 happy creating! 😘 cheers!

[@XenobiaF]

[@FroyleArt]

I bought some on Amazon it’s really tough, must have plastic in it amzn.to/3AlY7WW works well for lots of paint! 👍🏼 cheers!

[@otterwench]

Would gelli printing still work if you let the bottom layer dry for a long time, like overnight?

[@FroyleArt]

Yep 👍🏼 I have tried that with different techniques, it’s always scary but so far the paper still pulls off the plate! 😍

[@otterwench]
