I’m Carolyn Dube, a little kid trapped in a grown up body…
I have an addiction that doctors have said is incurable. An addiction to color and art supplies. Symptoms include blue and green spray ink stain on the cuticles, splatters of paint on every article of clothing no matter how hard I try to avoid it, the compulsive need to cover up all white space with art supplies, uncontrollable excitement when new products are released, and a fever for things that shimmer.
I spent 10 years trapped in the body of an elementary school teacher before realizing my true place in the universe was as a mixed media artist with painty hands. It is no surprise that I love to share tutorials and step by step blog posts- it’s the teacher in me. I love sharing practical real world “I can do this” type of tutorials so everyone can experience the joys of creating art too.

Recently discovered “A Colorful Journey” with your inspiring artistic adventures.
At “Find Punchinella at Home Depot” (7-24-2011) an image of Easy Joint Tape is
shown, a paper tape. I have gone online to Home Depot and other sites, but I cannot
find it anywhere……..VERY unhappy camper! Does it still exist??? I am really hoping
you can send me in the right direction. It looks like such a wonderful product to play
with. THANKS, toni
Hi Carolyn,
I don’t know exactly how to email you so I am commenting instead. I have noticed the past 2 weeks when I click on your link in CED I get:

Hello Carolyn!
I recently joined after seeing your peice on Julie Fei-Fan Balzer’s blog. I love your use of colour!
The concept of the dice fascinated me.. I get a lot of creative blocks that this might help me get over. I was hping you might share some of the other inscriptions on your blocks with us?
Thank you for letting us share your journey
