Thank you for introducing me to Skillshare! I just joined and I can see there’s such a wealth of information there! I’m going to love taking time to start learning more! Thanks also for sharing your skills and experience here on RUclips! 🥰🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼
Love your style, love your teachings, love you! Quick tip for you and your followers: Do the same thing in preparing the papers EXCEPT in place of the matte medium, use PVA glue (normal school glue) which is cheaper. Add a third water like you did with the matte medium. Add some coffee for coloring if you don't have the izinks sprays and is, of course, less costly. You get the SAME result! Try it on cheesecloth, dressmaker patterns, everything.
I have tried this, and it is amazing. The papers come out like glassine - translucent and almost waxy, and they look fabulous if you mix coffee with the glue solution. However, the papers remain extremely sticky for a while. I had laid them lightly on top of one another once they were dry, and then had a job peeling them apart. I had to do this several times and then learnt the lesson to leave them not in contact with each other at all. Several weeks on, they now seem to be OK. The matte medium would probably be better from this point of view.
I appreciate what you do to teach us how to use basic materials. Living on a limited income these tips make it possible for me to get good results without spending a lot of money on supplies. I definitely have more time available than money. I think you get that ! Keep laughing and smiling. HAPPY SUNDAY to you too!!!
After watching this video, I tried making the beehive paper using TEXTURE PASTE instead of gesso on the tissue paper and WOW...LOVE the dimension! Thank you so much for this inspiration 😉
Ok! I have been trying to figure out where to begin my adventure into your world of Collage Art. 😊😊 I need some pieces of paper to work with and this video has given me so many ideas. I have a few acrylic paint colours, plenty of tissue paper, plenty of brown paper, a few different round shapes, some bubble wrap, some jars of Matt medium, some Gesso, some paint brushes, some spray inks and some clear pouches. Should be enough to start me off. Don’t have any wallpaper but I do have some watercolour paper that I could paint and then stencil up with some texture paste. All the above has been accumulating over the past few years just waiting for this very moment in time…. I am so excited 😊😊😊😊 Thank you for your inspiration, Froyle. ❤
There is an artist named Nita Leland who has a short excerpt of her Artist Network video here on RUclips, talking about this same idea. She specifies Golden's gloss medium and calls the paper "crystalline paper." Like you, I am a Liquitex Matte Medium fan, but after watching the video years ago, I became a believer in the gloss for her project. It seems likely that the differences might be because matte medium is inherently matte, because it has fillers in it. Her papers were clear and had an extra crispiness to them. All of this is either here nor there -- once it's glued down on a collage, it's not likely to make much of a difference.... unless you're like me and feel the need to knock all that shiny down with a coating of matte medium. :)
Hey Froyle, really great technique! As you were doing the beehive motif, I remembered a lesson from Robyn M, where we used string (common white packaging string) on the bottom sheet, then covered it with another layer - giving it the embossed / raised surface look. I've also used more rustic types of string and other materials. Here in Brasil I haven't been able to find Seth Apner's products...and the Tim Holts sprays are rare and uber-expensive... I have used food coloring dyes and also mixed ultra-fine mica ( like Pearl-Ex ) which don't clog the pumps of the cheap plastic bottles...Calligraphy and other solvent-based inks also work as dyes either alone or diluted in water with a little alcohol!
another fab tutorial, just thought I'd let you know that I've used this method on the empty plastic bags from your cereal boxes, ( wiped down of course 😉) using the top only lair of a napkin design. for decoupage, It works great , so I'm excited to try it with these fab texture tools.....ooooooh the possibilities for shapes are endless, but must ay I love those circles 😍. Thanks so much for sharing your experiments and ideas.
Hello! New subbie here. I am thrilled to have found your channel. Your personality is awesome and your talent is incredibly inspiring. Thank you! ~Mare
I like the circles whose edges smear outward. I'm a control freak and, we just don't have control over paint surprises, so it takes pressure off of me to be "perfect." I like to respond to the unpredictable surprises.
Tasha from Treasure Books put the idea of making napkins into rice paper and curling the edges a few months ago, I also enjoyed Catherine T's tasting of making creative collage with gessoed papers. I wanted to give credit also to Tasha from Treasure Books. She has a plethora of creative ideas that she so generously shares on RUclips. As do you share generously with your fans and following.
Froyle and Friends! Thank you first, for the free month of Skillshare! Woohoo! My first question is why not utilize the hexagon on the other end of the plumbing fixture to make more authentic looking beehive? I realize that you are doing circles, which I think is your favorite shape, I guess since we keep bees, I like the hexagon shape. I love the bubble wrap papers. Sometimes I even take apart the bubble wrap insulated mailers (here is the US) to find a wee tiny bubble wrap. I am LOVING that iZinks in Honey. I am an orange loving woman anyway, so any form of orange trips my trigger!
I have used parchment paper, baking paper to work. A silicon baking sheet works, papers peel off easy peasy. Tried with napkins, just top ply to make faux rice paper. Also works with cheap white glue from dollar store.
Loved this video showing how to make your own beautiful papers. I don't have a collection of art papers and appreciate the inspiration to keep making my own papers! Thank you Froyle 😍
So much fun! I love it! I’m doing a series like this for a few weeks, I love creating a heap of papers and having my drawers full of possibilities! Cheers Froyle
Idea: Drizzle string gel onto plastic file folder. Let dry. Paint layer of gel or fluid medium over entire circle, including clear areas inside. Let dry. Pull off entire acrylic skin with circle embedded in it. Less fiddley, more doable? 😊 Can't for collage next week!! Yay!!!
@@FroyleArt I started playing with my paints immediately after watching the video! 😄 You are so inspiring!! Thanks again for such an exhilarating video! 😘
Thank you SO much for sharing these ideas. I am in South Africa so the exchange rate and shipping makes it difficult to get materials. It’s so exciting to realize that I CAN get packing, tissue paper, gesso and matt medium, and the possibilities are, as you say, ENDLESS! So much to look forward to 🥰 AND I signed up for skillshare. I CAN get that too! 😊
Haha! Oh so fabulous! 😍 You will love my latest Skillshare class! 👍🏼 it’s all about using found papers for collage! I’m so excited! Make sure you post a pic of your art so I can see what you create! 😍 cheers Froyle
Hi Froyle your experiments came out great I especially like what the large bubble wrap creates you can see different patterns in each circle. Thx and have a grt week.
Thank you for this inspired video. I have learned so much from it. I have wondered how to make this sort of paper and you have given me the way! Bless you for all you information.
Bingo, Froyle!! You knocked it out of the park aa always. Can'tceait to spend a chunk of time making these gorgeous papers!! I haven't ever bought spray inks but no time like the present, eh?? Thank you for another fabulous Sunday episode. Love these, love YOU!!
I tried the techniques that I learned from your video. I have learned so much from you! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with your followers. You’re so inspiring!♥️
So inspiring and fun. You make every minute so delightful and interesting. I love your laugh and banter, that totally makes me feel so happy. Going to try these today! I was wondering if you could try oil kneading a piece so it turned out like fabric, that could be a fun experiment. Thanks for your wonderful content, I adore each video.
This tutorial was helpful and inspired me to run (not walk) down to my studio to try this technique. I had all the material (with the exception of spray ink) on hand, including white, clear and brown gesso.Bonus. Hello, you can't get much better than that unless it's FREE! I have not mastered the peeling off of the gel medium treated paper.I especially appreciated the immediate follow-up with a small collage project. I'm still working up the courage to take the next step.

@@ShoshiPlatypus I wonder if the specific glue matters. Elmer's Glue (for example) comes in several versions.
Robyn, what specific glue have you used as the writer below has had issues?
@@carlagrayson1810 i used Elmer's Glue-All
