Loved all your tools! A woman after my own heart! My husband now asks before he throws any trash away whether I want it for art.!
Love that! Yes mine is the same. He and I are both crafts people and my he helps me construct tools to suit the process. X 😀 So nice to have their support XX
I like the blue!
Hi - yes a good deep/indigo blue is beautiful X😀
I love all your ideas. My husband also brings me all kinds of things to use in my art.
Their hobbies, work or even clothes seem to offer loads of useful items we can make alternative use of. X
Wonderful, I love mark making, and the objects are all around us.
Fun video & tips to try! TFS 💗
I really liked the wall paper prints ......thanks for the encouragement to think about using what we can find around us with out spending a fortune on materials 💜🖌🎨
The things arround us can be so effective XXX Thanks for watching. All the best, Louise😀
Absolutely fabulous!!!
Lovely bit of enthusiasm, thank you very much. Thank you for watching, keep well and all the very best. Lou X😀
These are fabulous. Thank you for sharing ❤
My pleasure. Thank you for watching xx
When stamping if you put something slightly squishy under your substrate like a silicone mat or fun foam you may find you get the marks you are looking for but needing to use less paint. Great ideas.
Great idea!! and really helpful XX
@ Sasha Dawnn You can even use just a couple of old dish towels folded a few times, a stack of newspaper or paper towel, too.
the netting on the tube and the wild paint brushes are brilliant!
I have a load more mark making tool ideas so there will be another demonstration video in the near future, many thanks for watching. All the best Louise.
@@LouiseJannetta i'll keep an eye out for those thanks Louise : )
Interesting play. Some worked and some did not. But you need to TRY. Thanks for sharing
Hi Amy, it is the next step that is so important, how these possibilities present themselves in future work, I am looking forward to it. Good luck with all your endeavours as well. All the best, Louise
Dollopiness - a great word, I love it! I so enjoy your style. Use pvc pipe for your tubes. It won’t collapse or be affected by moisture.
Great idea. X Glad you're enjoying it and many thanks for watching. All the best, Lou ☺️
I genuinely enjoy how you push limits with potential tools and techniques, and further how you share your experience of putting them through their paces! I loved all of the results, of course some more than others based on my preferences. I can see how well this sort of experimentation aligns with an attitude of curiosity, asking “what if?”, as we challenge ourselves as artists. As always, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for your enthusiasm again DC, much appreciated and so glad it is inspiring. The products available to us now, the glues and the availability of cheap and even recyclable things are giving everyone the opportunity to explore and experiment. All very good fun X
I had the uneven texture from glue gun textures as well. Love the jagged pointy design
Yes, I do alot of collagraph printing and the glue textures can be very effective in that too. Lovely tip for use with these, many thanks X😀
Thanks for all the great information. This video was super helpful as I’d gotten a bit stuck for new mark making tools. So simple and yet so effective the notched card stock used as a paint brush. I’m doing that right now! 😊
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy your markmaking xxx😀Many thanks for watching, all the best, Louise
I’m encouraged to try this. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy X
I love your ideas! Thanks for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome!
Great ideas!
Great, glad you like them XXX
Wow! Amazing!
Thank you Vanessa XXX
I do similar things to this, I collected some wine corks then sliced them up and stuck them to card they make good irregular marks within the circles, I think as artists we have to use what we have! Also if you use something softer beneath your paper when trying out your tools like a foam pad or gel plate it will help with the impressions of the tools :)
Thanks for the great tips, I will give them a go. X Thanks for watching and all the very best, Louise😀

My pleasure. Enjoy x
Reminds me of my primary school days 😄
Yep, when we learnt through play xxx made mess and all our creations were fantastic xxx
You have given me a new way to see everyday items. Thank You,I really enjoy your videos!!
Lovely thing to say and so glad that it inspires. Many thanks for watching xxx
Very inspiring! I have loads of bits and pieces that I've saved over my whole life and the lives of my family. I'm working on what I'm calling my "Family Archive Project"...I want to experience and share some of the energy of those who have come before me by combining photographs, letters, newspaper clippings, fabric and other wearables via collaging and printing techniques...using both natural media and digital printing. I love the essence of the prints you made in the video! You bring out such energy in something as simple as a card wrapped with twine!
Lovely project. I wish you luck xxx Thanks for watching and I hope we get to see the results of all your work at some point xxxx
Thanks so much for the note. I'll make sure to post when I get things going. I'm getting past the organization stage, with a lot of ideas, starting to scan photos and objects. I've been accumulating hands-on supplies too, like Gelli plates, paints, inks, brushes and gel media. I'll be watching your other videos too. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
@@jodylepinot1124 all sounds fun and I look forward to seeing it xx
Really great information and experimentation. Thank you!
So many fabulous ideas for tools, I love this!!!!
Glad you like them! Hope you make use of some of them X😀
I'm so glad I found you on here. Thank you so much for your fantastic tips and tutorials. You are fabulous to say the least.
Thank you very much, a lovely thing to say x
Fab a lady with the same crazy ideas as I have, wish you lived in South Wales thankyou
I also wish I lived in South Wales, but I can't complain I live in the beautiful Peak District. But I doo love the sea x
Love these... you might consider placing a spongy surface under paper... i use spongy kitchen floor mats for industrial kitchens. You can buy at restaurant supply shops... they sell by the yard.
Thanks for the tip. I will give it a go.x
Thank you for these great ideas!! Going to my studio now to try it! 😊 thank you for making these videos!
You are so welcome! Thank you for saying, appreciated. Thank you for watching xxx
My first time seeing your post Louise. Love your mark making tools! The wallpaper prints were gorgeous! Loved the buttons too and the mesh. Beautiful prints from simple everyday items ❤ look forward to watching more of your posts
Thank you Sandra. The mesh works really well. I have some more ideas for mark making, I just ned some time to get a video done XX 😀😀
@@LouiseJannetta look forward to seeing what you find ❤😁 have fun 😘 oh have you tried cookie cutters or bubblewrap?
yes they are dead cute😮
Great, glad they are of some use. Many thanks for watching, Louise X😀
Just found this video Louise, very interesting and yes, I am going to try the different surfaces and grounds and mediums. It’s all a big adventure (not sure I can remember everything tho 😂). Thank you! 😊
Watch it as you do them. I'm going to do some more mark-making and then the abstracts that they enable x. Enjoy
Will do @@LouiseJannetta . Btw did you get my email? I’ve had some success with the Momigami and will send you some pics of the pieces I made, so enjoyable 😀👍🏼
It may have gone to my website I'll take a look. There is a Facebook page, I think it's Louise Jannetta creates. We share creativity there, support and give feedback. That is a nice forum to participate in 😊😊
I've made Paste Prints for many years and I love to make my own mark-making devices. Try putting string or tape twisted on a brayer and run it through a layer of paint or ink. Press two pieces of paper together that have some of the marks on them. Exciting!
Great fun, wonderful enthusiasm. The one you did first with the swirling string looked like leaves that were being blown up by the wind. Very effective. Thank you. X.
My pleasure Pauline, glad you like it X
Also many thanks for watching X
Brilliant! I’m definitely trying some netting on a tube, your button stamp - and some other tools - on a gel plate, a monoprint technique that doesn’t need a press. I had great fun watching you.
Great glad its helped to set you off to play with these ideas, good luck and happy creating XXX Many thanks for watching too xx😀
I would use these tools on my gelli plate - sure it will make beautiful prints!
Yep I do a lot of printing especially calligraphy and I think my markmaking reflects this thought process. I am really looking forward to experimenting with gelli plate marks; I just want a big gelli plate. Good luck with all your printing and thanks for watching X
My printmaking professor told me several times that I was a natural printmaker. You are too. Love what you’re doing and eager to see what you do to all these marked papers. I just ordered some mulberry papers from Amazon in USA. I 😅live in California. Wish we were friends.
Hi and thanks. I love printmaking. I hope you can join in our Facebook group see Louise Jannetta create art group on Facebook and request to join. We can all share our creations and process. Hope you can join x
Hi Louise, Just found your channel and it looks so interesting. Can't wait to watch more of your techniques. Love the brush, and wondering what the string is from. Also, can you explain again about sealing the stamps. Thanks so much for sharing your techniques!
Sorry, it has taken a while to reply. The blue string or rope was just nylon rope; the finer stuff was nylon fishing twine but probably for sea fishing as it was thick and robust. My partner fished, and he was chucking it. I seal the stamps with diluted PVA, which is non-soluble once dry. It is reasonably safe to use PVA glues that are used in woodwork, but best to read the properties or usage of the product.😀Hope this all helps X
I think they would print better with some papers or foam under the paper. I'll make some more texture tools for my gel plate.
Thanks for the tip much appreciated XX😀
U r awesome
So glad you like it, many thanks.
Use a dowel rod inside of your piece and it will print better.
Thanks for the tip 😉
I absolutely love your approach & attitude & talent!
I went to your website 2 days ago about serviettes, & then tried to email you w/o success. I've tried twice. Suggestions?
Hi yes sorry the craft page isn't quite ready yet but Which napkins would you like. Email me on lajannetta@aol.com. so glad you like the videos x
How do you clean and re-use the mark makers ???..button tool
Hi, thanks for watching. The tools are sealed with clear acrylic or PVA and are a little water-resistant, so I can just gently wash them. They have lasted quite well and are still usable, although I mainly use them just for demos. X😀
What can I do with pigeon feathers accept the obvious use caple of them and make a brush. Honestly I dont like it weary much
You can use them on a geli plate, you can paint them and print from them directly x
Look up geli plate print using feathers on CZcams x
Are you using liquid acrylic paint?
Hi Karen, no, I use watered-down acrylics, which I sometimes add acrylic medium to bind the pigment. However, if diluted acrylic is used on an absorbent surface, like paper, the pigment is absorbed, and the binding medium isn't necessary X. Many thanks for watching X😀
With the tube with cord wrap if you put a dowel inside and press down as you roll it you will get more marks. At least that is my theory. 🙂
Yep good idea, I'm sure that will work and will take your advice. many thanks and thanks for watching. All the best Lou X
👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰
Glad you like it. Hopefully doing another mark-making tutorial for this weekend.
Most of the mark making things would have worked much better on a Gelli plate.
I shall have to give it a go, thanks for the tip XX
