  • 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 😝
  • @Raven-nx8ex
    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.
  • @chuckkolb1270
    Among your many talents, the one that stands out for me is your enthusiasm. It is infectuous.
  • "I'll have what she's having ..." Because I love this woman's energy... What a Beautiful Video... Made me smile so big.
  • @catincj5162
    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.

    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.❤

    Froyle, you're such an endless source of artistic wisdom! Paired with your courage to explore and change, you create such stunning pieces with your gel plates! Everyone into gelli printing should save this video in a playlist! Aloha from Berlin ❤🧡💛💚💜 ... yes, I'm back 😉
  • Hello! Froyle my friend, as your knowledge base has grown, so has mine. As you do your experimental techniques on Youtube, I do those with you! You have enabled me to be so much more relaxed and have taught me to do my own experiments as well and I have actually perfected a few new techniques of my own with results that I just love!!! I can't thank you enough for sharing so much with those of us that have much still to learn! You have helped me to feel more confident with my creating and my own ideas for future experimenting. I am a Patreon member as well and learn more with each video and Skillshare lesson! It's actually a favorite weekend activity to save up 5 or 6 of your videos from those websites and watch for hours! I take a few notes and go into my little studio and have a blast listening to music and trying out whatever you did in those videos! Believe it or not even trying new color combos or a new stencil or 3 is really exciting to me! I always check your supply lists and links for some thing fabulous. Enough gushing! Thanks a bunch!
  • Just sent this video to a friend who is just starting out with gelli printing. So useful thanks Froyle
  • @user-rz8dc6il5y
    Wow that was such a great episode. Thank you Froyle for sharing all your tips.
  • The drying time advice was perfect. There is no way to tell someone when but your answer was concise and very clear. Good job Froyle.
  • @debtaylor4015
    I watch you with my grandchildren and they LEARN!!!!! Thank you for your gentle fun interesting lessons.
  • @AzaleaLala
    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.
