I’m playing with Orly Avineri’s Soft Bones stencil from StencilGirl, one of her 5 new stencils. I’m not the only one playing – this is a blog hop! With a giveaway too! PanPastels are a fast and easy way to build a pattern with a stencil because you don’t have to wait for a [...]
Pan Pastels
An art journal page doesn’t have to happen all at once. Truly, there are no rules when it comes to art journaling and play. A few weeks ago I stenciled the heart with paint and let it be until I had a stack of PanPastels out on my counter that were whispering to me. I [...]

Sifting through a drawer I bumped into my bingo cards. My precious, must save, can’t bear to use, bingo cards. The words on 1 really caught my attention- 12 different ways to win on every card. Just like life, there are always lots of ways to “win”. My old ledger colored randomly from [...]
Jessica Sporn’s Windows and Doors stencil spoke to me the moment I saw it. I love love love doors and windows- my kids tease me about how I get excited about the shapes of doors and windows on vacation. Just now I even spotted a mysterious friend in the center window (actually it is just [...]
Who knew when I started playing I would end up in Outer Mongolia! I’ve been secretly working on a new free workshop, A Colorful Workshop: Use Your Words and the “stuff” from that is all over my counters. So are Gelli Plate papers from the February Gelli party. Okay, confession time, there is stuff all [...]
