Oh Robyn you totally gave me a chuckle , when you said "Sorry for that, sounds like my LITTLE dog woke up." BUT ........ I would never thought that bark was coming from a "Little" dog?!?!....LOL
I love this technique...I use a long kitchen towel roll for one of mine. I was teaching a friend and she simply bypassed the roll and picked up the rubber band ball to use. We had great fun making monotone patterns which we intend to colour for the nature journals we are currently constructing. I was reminded of this technique several years ago by another youtuber...it may have been Jennibellie...and have kept remaking rolls as they run out ever since...I think it should be on every artists 'must have' studio list :D
All kinds of fab new goodies to play with--this sparked SO many ideas for me--thank you. 🤗 "Play" sessions should be every bit as scheduled and important as meetings and doctor visits: put them on the calendar and show up for yourSelf👍🏼😎 Dogs bark 🐾🤎 not a one of us live in an isolation chamber - he/she sounds beautiful 🐾❣
I have a paper towel with twine that I have had laying around for about two weeks after seeing yours I used mine a love it. T am going to make more of them with different spacing. As a printmaker I can make blocks to use which I also may just do since I pulled my tools out for a fish book I’m going to start
Wow! I loved this technique! You are so talented!!❤️ Thanks so much, got my dollar store rubber bands & they actually had some wood blocks w/Christmas stuff. Perfect!!
what fun! and the price is right! thanks for waking up my kid (in me) 😊... at 64 going thru this n that it's been too long! what's that noise like a giant marble rolling around? or a wind tunnel?
Love watching your beautiful techniques on paper and hearing your fur baby barking in the background. Please stop apologizing for her/his barking, I for one love it all, just saying. I would love to see your new puppy sometime..... As always, Thank You for sharing your creative process Robyn. XOXO
i really love the way your papers look when you combine coffee and alcohol inks. howevwr, when i spray either coffee or tea onto any paper that i've previously sprayed alcohol ink on, the ink blooms and turns this weird green and yellow color. i use the tim holtz sprays. i don't know what's wrong with mine.
Robyn, I'm curious - is there any need to use acid-free tissue as opposed to regular? The paper loses its acid-free status, I would think, once you introduce coffee. I'm wondering if regular tissue would work. Thanks for another fun, creative video - the best part of my Saturdays!
Sure you can use regular tissue I do all of the time, however I've noticed two things, 1. the acid free is a strong tissue paper and seems to hold nicely to all of the water and use on the Gelli plate, 2. in acid free products generally in most cases the papers are produced have less tree products which are high in acids. That said, the only time any product is truly held to acid free is if you don't introduce any tap water as well as many other products but I mention water because that's the main one that gets by most people. spring or mineral waters are best. I've seem many people for instance be very careful about all of their supplies but then use city tap water to mix their watercolors. Honestly the main question to ask is how long do I want the artwork that I'm creating to last most things we're making will last a 100 years with various degrees of deterioration. So I say have fun enjoy the process and when it matters top up your products to eliminate deterioration over the long run. Great question, Thanks for asking! :)
@@RobynMcClendon Thank you for answering with so much useful info, Robyn! You are absolutely right about the water used in w/c - I've been a professional watercolorist for many years and know a number of purists who only use spring or mineral water. I didn't even think about that - we don't think about the acids in water, but they are there. I do think the strength of the paper is important given the soaking it takes and didn't realize that the A/F was stronger than the general use one, so that is good to know. I'm always stunned at the beauty of your stash of papers and what they bring to your work, so I really enjoyed this video. Thanks as always for another fabulous video and for always sharing your vast wealth of knowledge and experience with us. I truly appreciate it!
Thx Yes I got a little pot of the woad in France and I make a spray out of it because the color is so strong that it holds up to being watered down...I love it! :)
My work is mostly acrylic on canvas but want to incorporate some of this collage without having to invest in yet again other products if I can make sprays with acrylic paint. You mentioned making with ink and alcohol, but any problems using a watered down acrylic substitute? Txz so much for all your info! Jeanne
You have to be careful with watering down acrylic too much. Using air spray additive to the paint allows it to stay cohesive and the pigment and glue or base remain in emulsion.
Do you mix anything into the coffee? How much coffee to water do you mix....I did some in a spray bottle a few weeks ago, and here in Florida it molded in 3 days!
Hi Deborah I generally will use a cheap dollar store coffee I think it's more dye than flavor, lol Proportions is a cup of the instant coffee to 3 cups water roughly you can play with it to adjust the color intensity and then adding Rubbing Alcohol is a must it will keep your mixture from molding, a table spoon will be enough I can keep the mixture on my desk for months without any problems! Good Luck! :)
It's too easy to get distracted. I try to focus on an idea and go through with it, but if I were to put paint on that plate,by all means I would do the same...lol

This reminded me of working with paper rolls and string. You can push the prepared roll on a wallcolouring tool to save hands getting mucky.
Such exciting explorations -thank you for this generous demonstration and congratulations to you on your process 🎉
Hi had to come and play, found you through the gorgeous froyle, the odd the shapes the more I like them will be my mantra! Thank as always x
Those papers turned out so beautifully. Thank you Robyn for this cool video :)
My Saturday is better with Robyn..!!

Great technique!! Thank you Robyn!
I found some pvc pipe that would fit over a small paint roller...then put the rubber bands around it and it worked great!
Amazing papers Robyn! I just found you! Tyfs 🤗👏🏼👏🏼

The spray called wud not sure the spelling is correct the blue watercolor right? You can't buy paper this good looking. Love the paper Thanks Robyn

@@RobynMcClendon thanks you!
So how do you make the word stain?
The woad comes in a small metal tin it’s a very intense watercolor paint which I put into a spray bottle with additional water and use as a spray 😊
@@RobynMcClendon I've found powered woad do you think that would work? I think it's for dying hair.
It's too easy to get distracted. I try to focus on an idea and go through with it, but if I were to put paint on that plate,by all means I would do the same...lol
Why not put toilet paper roller onto a paint roller. No dirty hands!
l💙ve that giant square ring! ok i'll be quiet now... try... 👅
Hahahaha over here on my channel you can talk as much as you want! we all welcome it :)
