https://youtu.be/oeHuiz14UCM It started with a feeling of wonder as I stood in an infinity room by Yayoi Kusama at the Speed Art Museum. Surrounded by a sea of mirrored circles, little did I know, those mesmerizing circles would spark the play that became the Spotted Layers stencil set for July’s StencilClub. What I love most [...]
https://youtu.be/62cbJHrEZF8?si=qH4h60Ek75syeF4H Embossing powders are one of those art supplies that always make me smile when I use them—but if I’m honest, they don’t see the light of day nearly enough. That changed when the muse dropped a little “what if” thought at me. So I turned on the camera and I’m sharing the play of [...]

https://youtu.be/RULl8dNt2a0 There’s a new Powerwax that’s slightly different from the previous Powerwax and I was curious how different it was. That’s what led to making collage papers with stencils and Powerwax. Mixing Powerwax with paint allowed me to do things that I couldn’t do with just paint. Powerwax is water based. How a wax is [...]
https://youtu.be/PRhSMUQDwWY The fun of building a playful neighborhood with stencils is there are no building codes to worry about! As I created this collection, I wondered what the HOA would say about these buildings.
