The secret of a mystery was revealed to me by my muse while I was art journaling. Or perhaps she was having fun reminding of something I need to be reminded of every now and then. Let’s just say the secret isn’t rocket science… In this video, you’ll see how I deal with not being able [...]
Carolyn Dube’s Stencils
My mission was to use up all my old spray paints since I rarely use them now that I have found some that smell less, are easier to clean up, and have the exact colors I love. I covered the table with a painting tarp, grabbed my boxes of paints, and even had a little [...]
It’s no secret I love to play with art supplies so I was jumping for joy when I was invited to play with goodies from USArtQuest and Susan Pickering Rothamel and StencilGirl stencils! It’s mixed media big time…I’m mixing together all different supplies in this one art journal page! I’m a huge fan of Susan [...]
I’m playing it fast and loose with a stencil and paint on a junk mail envelope. It was the end of the day and I wanted to use up my leftover paints. When time is short, anything within reach is fair game for me…and this was what I grabbed! When I go loose…there is usually [...]
It was just a piece of book text for wiping up leftover paints. Just a place to test out if the I had reinked the ink pad enough. This wasn’t meant to be anything. It was junk, but then it wasn’t. I saw a conversation happening between all these people. They had a message for me [...]
Dylusions Paints
It’s the first of the month and that means Gelli® printing fun with the Colorful Gelli® Print Party! I’m taking Dyluions Paints and various texture making tools to turn a white box into a colorful box…you know how I am about white space. In the video, you’ll see how I play around and create textures and patterns [...]
I’m about to say something surprising…I’m giving away one of my new stencils and the details are below. But that isn’t what surprised me. Brown…I used brown. Are you surprised? I know I am! And…get this…I apparently liked it so much that I had to wipe off the paint way more than I ever expected. [...]
Stencils are versatile. Why? Because you can use them how you like. Use the whole thing at once or use bits and pieces of it. That flexibility is what keeps me using stencils over and over and over. I’m sharing the fun by giving away one of my new stencils too! Be sure to keep [...]
Is it a reverse print? Is it a negative print? Whatever you call it- you can create very different looks from just one stencil. I’m using a Gelli Plate® to quickly get my new stencil, Arched Aqueducts, loaded with paint. In the process I get a bonus print with a great grungy vibe! I’m giving [...]
“You’d be so good at vandalism Mom!” Hmm…maybe I need to rethink the example I am setting for my children….nah! Everyone should grab a can of spray paints and let loose occasionally! Nothing seems to be safe here from the paint lately at our house. The neighbors haven’t rioted yet with all the color. As [...]
