It’s spring and this is the garden of my dreams! Playing around in my art journal had me “planting” Julie Balzer’s Corn Flowers while Sally Carly by Dina Wakely marveled a the amazing colors of Dylusions inks! Of course every good garden needs a touch of glitter… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNOjTAjN9bM Can’t see the video? See it on [...]

My muse loves it when I try to get brownie points by actually listening to her when she drops by…if I listen to her, I bet she is more likely to come and play again very soon! My starting point was this paper with the layers on this Gelli print calling to me. My muse [...]
This journal page brought out my inner child which led to the lost teeth memories. Granted, my inner child is not buried too deeply. Especially since my inner child has been playing around getting everything ready for A Colorful Workshop: Gelli Printing! It starts April 1st. Lots are signed up to play. Are you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10z492Oh_AE [...]
Just playing around with my new Catalyst blades on scrap cardboard. No pressure. Just random marks. Maybe it will end up in an art journal? No idea where it would end up. I came back later that night and my great grandma appeared to me. Not a ghost, but in the painting. I remember [...]
It has been tough keeping this secret until now…big bite marks on my tongue as I held it when I wanted to share…but now it is ready for the full reveal! My free workshop, Use Your Words, was sparked by the endless creativity I found when creating with an alphabet stencil. Once I had that [...]

The February link party will be open all month for you you share what you’ve Gelli’d and to enjoy some inspiration from [...]
I loved seeing what everyone created on their Gelli Plate and missed it once the party was over. So I decided that the party should go on! On the 1st of each month I will have a post dedicated to the Gelli Plate and a link party that will be open all month. The next [...]
This week has flown by! Can’t believe this is the last day of the party! Thank you to every party goer for helping me kick off 2013! It is going to be an amazing year full of color and creativity! In all the excitement I had neglected my rubber stamps so I brought them to [...]
It’s day 6 of the party and I am not cleaning for it! I don’t like to clean. I really don’t like to clean. Just ask my long suffering teens who have to do dishes and sweep and do laundry! So I find it joyful when I don’t need to clean my Gelli Plate! For [...]
A ping pong ball, a ruler, a bottle of bug spray, a wine glass, packaging from a set of oil pastels? Yes. Really. The ping pong ball was a bit messy but I did like the result. That is what I used with the Gelli Plate today (and a few other items). I decided to [...]
