Mary Beth Shaw, the founder of StencilGirl Products, invited me to join their Creative Team!  I am thrilled and excited beyond words!  There are so many exciting things happening at StencilGirl like their new blog, StencilGirlTalk!  It goes live Monday morning at 9a.m. central time.  Stop on over there, say hello and you’ll be entered [...]

Happy play with my Gelli Plate and Stencil Girl stencils today!  Jessica Sporn’s Jump for Joy stencil made me so happy as I experimented on envelopes from a huge stash I found buried in a cabinet recently. You  know when there is a test drive there are going to others playing too!  Stop on by [...]

Crazy, crazy, crazy week.  Some good crazy. Some necessary crazy. And some completely useless crazy. A normal week.  But I hadn’t had enough art and paint time so it felt so much crazier.  Thankfully, I made it to the studio to play! Of course, I should have been working on the new workshop or the [...]

Playing with Sue’s Stencil for Artsy Fartsy thumbnail

  Artsy Fartsy is back!  Maria McGuire and I took a break for a while due to scheduling and commitments but we’re playing again. Neither one of us has any less to do now (maybe even more)…She has taken on a wonderful new adventure that will be revealed soon and I am working on new [...]

[DISPLAY_ACURAX_ICONS theme=”19″ size=”55″ function=”1″ animation=”bounce” opacity=”0.8″] Why did I need to be forgiven for my “French”- this car!  I saw it at an art fair and it blew my mind. 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!    [...]

June’s Colorful Gelli Print Party is here!  Not just one video this month but TWO!  I couldn’t stop playing (and I didn’t want to).  A mega thanks to everyone who shared their Gelli fun with the May party!   I am inspired by all the prints and projects.  June’s party will be open all month- love [...]

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 [...]

I was asked by a non-art person what I enjoy making when I create.  Of course I said, I love making Gelli prints.  Befuddlement.  That “did you just speak an alien word” look.  How could I possibly explain what I do with the Gelli Plate using words only.  I tried.  The more I explained the [...]
