Layering stencils have been on my mind and what’s on my mind ends up in my journals. You might have seen my latest layering stencils that have 2 patterns on each stencil. Solar System is not one of those…but I ended up layering it anyway. (Be sure to check out the giveaway here!) If you’ve been [...]

The spray inks that I used for today’s play should have been in a museum. They have to be at least 10 years old. That makes it a vintage supply in my world. And these Luminarte spray inks still worked just as well as they did when I bought them. If you’ve ever had spray inks, you [...]
So excited to share what I’ve been up to in my secret lab. Okay, I don’t have a secret lab…I have an art studio. But I do have 5 new stencils at StencilGirl! I have been experimenting away on designs, creating more layering patterns and a few others that just escaped from my head like [...]
It’s time for a change. It’s been over 2 years of monthly Colorful Gelli Print® Parties. What fun it has been but its time has come. Now don’t worry, I’m not stopping my Gelli® printing play! There will still be videos and blog posts with that little tool of joy. It just won’t be on [...]
This is a technological marvel that involved intense engineering to create a pattern making tool for the Gelli Plate®. Okay…no engineering…just gluing. It might not be fancy technology but it is just as much fun when it comes time to make a pattern! I repurposed old paint lids and cardboard then let myself build up layers on [...]
I am sharing all the heroic details of how I saved the life of a pen in my guest post at CreateMixedMedia.com Okay…it wasn’t heroic at all. But I did prevent a pen from being ruined. Video waiting over there for you too! Check it out!
Being vulnerable can hurt but when I have a way to process the feelings, it hurts less. Whether I am working in an art journal or on a canvas or on a wood panel, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that I am creating. There is something magical for me when I get paint on my [...]
Words inspire me so you bet I was excited to play with Seth Apter’s new stencil, Explore. It’s loaded with words and lots of texture too. For today’s play, I’m using fancy fancy things…like cardboard from a box, a cosmetic sponge, and old scrapbooking paper. This is just one of many stops in a blog hop celebrating Seth’s [...]
What’s swimming around in my head? Sharks thanks to Discovery Channel’s recent Shark Week. Brought back all sorts of nostalgia for me since I remember when it all began. Yes, I’m that old. I am amazed by these creatures…but it’s not like I want to swim with them in the open seas. I am a big [...]
What can you do with the papers you make Gelli® printing? You can build on the colors and lines already there with a stencil to create your own custom artful patterned papers. Something strange has been happening to me…I have been having fun with subtle coloring. Not sure what is happening, but when the muse [...]
