Froyle is the best! Her laughter is so warm. Her talks are loaded with information and she is so encouraging. She goes over how to use a Gelli pad and how to clean them. She talks about how there are different types of gelli pads and the mediums they use. This is a great and easy to understand walk through if you are a beginner or a pro. To let go and play, see what papers & paints do.. And Froyle is SO much fun!!! ❤😂 plus she is very accomplished and an expert teacher.

A video with Froyle is comparable to a university art class but a heckuva lot more fun and relaxed. I love an environment where “mistakes” are embraced and students are encouraged.

Singing your praises from Tennessee!

Best,
Your latest groupie 😝

This is just what I needed.
A few years ago some of us crafty friends got together in the garage and we used gelli plates with acrylic paints, white cardstock and any leaves we could find. It was a blast even though most of my prints were not up to my standards. I did end up taking the best parts and turned them into cards (I mostly make cards or junk journals).
So I did go out and buy a 5x7 gelli plate at my local Hobby Lobby. Had no idea what to look for in one so just purchased the size that would make prints I could use in my papercrafts.
But it sat on my shelf for probably two years before I finally got up the nerve to make a mess and blunder through the process.
Didn't know much but i used book pages, stencils and acrylic paint along some metalic paints. Omg, I am so hooked. I made prints until I was tired.
I went back a few days later and just used printer paper, acrylic paint and baby powder.
Now my gel plate sits on my craft table and I have started watching your videos.
I just love watching your videos. Not only are they so full of valuable information but you have such great energy and enthusiasm and so encouraging.
Your prints are amazing and I love your rich color choices.
I will be watching more of your videos to continue this journey of gelli printing.❤
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.❤

You don’t know how much this has helped me! I just unpackaged my first gelli plate, and I have been terrified, until I watched this.

Found your group and asked to join, answered the questions. So I’m looking forward to binging on your YouTube channel.

Thank you so much.

I love that you encourage people to just dive in and experiment. And that there is no wrong way to do anything because that is how we learn. Thank you.

I'm a beginner and did one of the things you suggested not to do--I bought expensive paper and was afraid to use it. I saw a tip to use deli paper. (I'm in the U.S., do you have that in New Zealand?) It's cheap and works so beautifully that that is all I use at the moment. It's slightly waxed on one side, 12 x 12, and stronger than my expensive paper when it comes to pulling off multiple layers. Sometimes I forget to pull a print because I get sidetracked and have only remembered the following morning. In spite of that, it pulls beautifully every time. By the way, watching your videos never fails to raise my spirits. Many artists make me smile or chuckle but you're the one who absolutely cracks me up (Is that American slang or do you know what that means?) And there's nothing better that cracking up on a dreary day!

Still loving you after all these years 😂
