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.!

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 💜🖌🎨

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.

I love all your ideas. My husband also brings me all kinds of things to use in my art.

These are fabulous. Thank you for sharing ❤

I like the blue!

Absolutely fabulous!!!

Fun video & tips to try! TFS 💗

Wonderful, I love mark making, and the objects are all around us.

the netting on the tube and the wild paint brushes are brilliant!

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.

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! 😊

I had the uneven texture from glue gun textures as well. Love the jagged pointy design

Wow! Amazing!

Interesting play. Some worked and some did not. But you need to TRY. Thanks for sharing

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!

I’m encouraged to try this. Thanks for sharing.

Great ideas!

That was great thank you ❤

I love your ideas! Thanks for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️

Tools for beautiful marks & Modeling Beauty

So many ways to explore and push the possibilities of each tool. Thanks for sharing your fab tips.

Louise Thankyou for responding ! My family is from England but l live in sunny Eilat Israel and you are invited to sea , desert and mountains here! Thankyou for enriching my life ❤

I love it.. me too played around with that

You are so creative!!! Love your videos

Fabulous, thank you for sharing your brilliant ideas, so inspiring

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... That's awesome

Reminds me of my primary school days 😄

Louise of course you are just inspiring! You never give up and your experiments push boundaries you give your soul and mind and all l can say is Thankyou and god bless❤

LOVED those wire brushes, they are the business!!

This work is lovely and you are generous to share it with us. Your instructions are clear and direct. Thank you.

Really great information and experimentation. Thank you!

I absolutely love what you've shown us here - and I love your delight is showing us! I can't wait to try some of these, and invent my own. Thank you.

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.

Really fun and useful! Thanks very MUCH!💛 Gonna try with some kids.

So many fabulous ideas for tools, I love this!!!!

You have given me a new way to see everyday items. Thank You,I really enjoy your videos!!

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.

FUN FUN 😊

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 for these great ideas!! Going to my studio now to try it! 😊 thank you for making these videos!

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.

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.

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! 😊

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.

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.

Fab a lady with the same crazy ideas as I have, wish you lived in South Wales thankyou

I would use these tools on my gelli plate - sure it will make beautiful prints!

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!

yes they are dead cute😮

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!

U r awesome

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?

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.

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

Use a dowel rod inside of your piece and it will print better.

How do you clean and re-use the mark makers ???..button tool

Are you using liquid acrylic paint?

👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰

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. 🙂

Most of the mark making things would have worked much better on a Gelli plate.
