Welcome to July’s Colorful Gelli Print Party!  At long last it is getting hot here, just like summer should.  In honor of that beautiful ball of golden happiness I’m playing with hot colors making a page full of my own little Suns!     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIeag3hWj-k&feature=c4-overview&list=UUdXS_Br77vmmJTlHQFL0rNQ You can watch the video on YouTube here.

I am so thankful for challenges- well art challenges that is…I have been working on an upcoming workshop and my brain became a bit fried doing all the non-art behind the scenes work.   I was feeling stuck and every decision felt like a life altering decision.  The Summer of Color rescued me!  How?  I’ll show [...]

There were several expletives I just couldn’t hold in.  The details and toys on this car- the more I looked the more I saw!    [...]

They were screaming. They were shouting.  There was stress.  Surprisingly,  there was no art happening.  I had a major infestation of gremlins that brought my creativity to a halt.   I had enough of these gremlins yelling at me.  Time for them to go.       I decided the best way to get rid [...]

Black is a paint color I rarely use on my Gelli Plate but every now and again I do.  So I cleaned off my brayer in my vintage journal like I do with the rainbow of colors I usually use.  And it sat. And sat.  Most of my other colors get lost or look muddy [...]

This word has been popping into my mind, heart, and life a lot lately which means it pops into my art.  I keep getting reminders from the universe how wonderful my friends are.               Speaking of friends, today is a Stencil Test Drive for Jessica Sporn’s stencil, Apple and [...]

The sun is shining, the grass is green, and the peonies will be blooming any day now!  In honor of spring, I am working in greens.  I usually work in a full rainbow of colors so I wasn’t sure how this would turn out…   A background made long ago that sparked the green theme. [...]
