But it doesn’t any more and I’m sharing how one word can chase those thoughts away. My inner critic shows up as a [...]
What happened when I put a round Gelli Plate® on a rotating cake stand? Hypnotic colors spinning round and round that resulted in a stack of playful prints for this week’s Let’s Play video! How does this help me play? There is no wrong way to do this so the pressure is off! After all there is [...]
The punchinella that I found at the hardware store for this week’s Let’s Play video and link party isn’t officially punchinella but it sure works like it.

Why? Using often ignored supplies makes playing exciting because it is almost like the supplies are new again [...]
I’ve got two brand new workshops this spring using the Gelli Plate®! I’ll be teaching both of these at Artsicape in Columbus, OH plus I’ll be demoing with the plate at the Friday Kick Off party. If you’ve never been to Artiscape, it has the most wonderful creative vibe. I’m counting down the days until April [...]
Have any art supplies that haven’t been used in a while? I definitely do! I’ve bought things, enjoyed them, and then somehow they just end up in the bottom of a drawer for a very long time. But not today! I’m going to use one them, glass floral marbles which have been collecting dust in [...]
Put a Gelli Plate® and a stencil in my hands and I just can’t stop playing! This was supposed to be just one page..or that was my plan..but I didn’t want to stop…so it became 2 pages of play! Today, I’m not the only one playing around, so is Mary Beth Shaw over at StencilGirl [...]
