FroyleArt's Favorite Kozo Papers
FroyleArt's artistic journey is intricately woven with Kozo Studio's papers. She has been extensively using our papers long before we even launched our own brand! Her favorites include:
The focal point of Froyle's artwork frequently revolves around the circular form of Handmade Rose Kozo Paper pulp, with this shape often serving as a powerful representation of unity and completeness.
Handmade Beehive Kozo Paper: The Beehive Paper, available in black & white, also holds a special place in her heart. Its abstract pattern and aesthetic appeal complement her mixed media creations seamlessly.
Asarakusui Lace Paper: The Asarakusui Lace Paper in natural, black, & red. This unique paper is made from mulberry pulp and Abaca (Manila Hemp) by using the same ‘Rakusui’ technique. Asarakusui lends its special texture and enhance the depth of her works.
Froyle has a thriving YouTube community and offers a Skillshare course where she demonstrates how effortlessly one can craft magnificent art that resonates with personal passion.
What sets Froyle apart is her commitment to empowering others through art. She firmly believes that creativity has the power to transform lives, instilling confidence and fostering a positive self-view. Her classes are not just about technique; they are a journey of self-discovery, allowing participants to tap into their innate creativity.
In her studio, she employs water-based materials, acrylic paint, iridescent inks, and, of course, a wide array of papers, including Kozo Studio's mulberry papers. Above all, her videos are fun-filled, promising a wealth of knowledge and an exciting exploration of self.
100 Days of Collage
FroyleArt's strong commitment to her art is clearly seen in her latest project, "100 Days of Collage." This impressive endeavor demonstrates her skill with different art materials and her creative way of telling stories through art. It also doubles as a helpful guide for anyone interested in making their own art. We're delighted that our mulberry papers are included in this project, contributing to the diversity and visual richness of each collage.
