I’m playing around with a laundry supply in my latest guest post at Create Mixed Media. And no, there is no laundry actually getting cleaned. That would be crazy talk…of course I was in a bit of a silly mood when I made that video. Perhaps it was the fumes. Enjoy the video over there and have a laugh with me!

Maria McGuire has 2 new stencils which are loaded with details and possibilities! And she’s even made a video showing how to use stencils as a starting place for intricate, unique, and endless doodling! Take a look!

I went too far. I was just playing around on cardboard and was really becoming very very happy with what was developing. So I kept going…and then I went too far. Does that ever happen to you?
Was that a mistake? Nope, not at all. It was an Oops, an Outstanding Opportunity that Presented Suddenly. The gift came directly from me not loving this anymore.
Yes, not loving it is a gift! There was no stress about ruining it. I didn’t care because I didn’t love it. And that meant I could just play and enjoy.
Now I have more words to use in my mixed media play and still plenty of cardboard left over for whatever else strikes my fancy.
Luckily, I have a camera and one of the early stages is loaded with fun drips so it is the next Spark of Art-spiration. What’s that and how do you get one? Sparks go out to my newsletter friends. Find out all about Sparks here and get one now!
Art journaling is one of my favorite ways to let myself play. Thanks to Gelli printing, I have a rich and colorful place to start any time I want and you can too! I’m sharing 4 new videos showing how to make colorful Gelli prints in 21 Secrets Spring. Thanks to the very generous Hali and Connie I have 2 of these to give away!
For those brand new to the Gelli Plate, or just plain curious about how it works, I have a getting started video that covers all the basics. This print is from the getting started video. All that texture, all those layers of color came up in just one pull. Really!
It’s magical to me how radically different prints can be when made at the same time. And I’m sharing how to quickly make these.
There are 2 more videos in my portion of 21 Secrets Spring but I’ll let those be a surprise on April 1st when 21 Secrets is released.
New to 21 Secrets? There are 21 different artists who have each created an art journaling video tutorial and pdf. And it is all downloadable! Connie and Hali have all the details and information here. You can find out about all of the wonderful teachers and each of their workshops and more!
