https://youtu.be/jK2Mzl3Xb8g I’m so excited to be able to share the play that’s been happening with the Overlapping Shapes collection! It’s my latest release over at StencilGirl Products! These stencils can work by themselves and they can work in pairs. In the video, you saw how the Overlapping Circles Filled fit right over the Overlapping Circles. [...]
Pan Pastels
This all started with 2 gel prints. Then the ripping. The tearing. And that’s when I realized the plan I had wasn’t going to work. And that was a good thing because where it ended up was far better than what I had planned! https://youtu.be/BkKFPxlWBuo These 2 gel prints sparked the idea for this art [...]
https://youtu.be/XizOldMbJ1Y Can you use PanPastel on a gel plate? Absolutely! There are things that PanPastel can only do when using it on a gel plate that it could never ever do with paper alone. Understanding how these two supplies interact opens up a whole world of printing possibilities all while sealing in the PanPastels! The [...]

One way is with a gel printing plate! In the video, you’ll see how I built this steampunk page by combining pieces and [...]
After a day of play with one of my new stencils from StencilGirl, the ladders were left out on my counter. It’s a very good thing I didn’t put them away because when I saw them on their sides, suddenly I saw fences. So out came the PanPastels for fence play…would this be called fencing? This play transported me [...]
During a recent conversation there was a word a friend kept using to describe PanPastels. Intimidating. She had seen some amazing fine art created with them and felt incredibly intimidated because she was not a fine artist. Well, I am not a fine artist. I am an Oops artist. That means I can just grab things and see [...]
I adore PanPastels and what they do. Since they are a pastel they need to be fixed or sealed in order to stay put, especially when I add layers on top of them. When I say I add layers on top what I mean is I like to flood it with spray inks, brush paint [...]
Have you played with PanPastels yet? I love them because I never have to wait for them to dry, they are so rich and loaded with vibrant color, and I can just smear them around without any planning. Check out this giveaway! PanPastels, a storage tray, Mary Beth’s favorite sponges with stencils (which StencilGirl now carries) [...]
