Nathalie Kalbach has outdone herself with her Elephant March stencil for StencilGirl Products!  I am in love with it for so many reasons.  All the texture in it, all the different patterns hidden in this beauty, and all the fun titles and quotes that go with an elephant!   Not to mention the memories I [...]

When I saw Pam Carriker’s designs for Stencil Club I fell in love.  Not with Pam, I’m already in love with her work, with Frida!  I must confess I hadn’t really understood all the buzz about Frida until I had a chance to play with her. I do so love that every month a new [...]

I was honored to be in the March/April issue of Somerset Studio and I wondered what could top that.  Now I know what tops that- seeing what people have made with their artists tape!  Have you played with artist tape?  I’d love to see what you’ve made! These are from Muriel Chapelle.  I am in [...]

Thanks for stopping by for my celebration of my artist tape article in Somerset Studio’s March/April issue! This is an old yearbook page cut down to fit in my junk journal.  As I looked at the people on the page, I began to think about all the wonderful people I have in my life.  Each [...]

Thanks for stopping by as I celebrate my artist tape in the March/April issue of Somerset Studio  This whole week is dedicated to using the artist tape. When I create with my artist tape I often have little bits left over.  I hate to waste it since it was so much fun to make- almost [...]

I have wanted to be in Somerset Studio for a very long time but strangely I haven’t been in it before now. If I didn’t submit any art to them I was never going to be in the magazine.  Rocket science?  So I finally submitted.   A few days ago my complimentary copy of Somerset Studio [...]
