Sue Pelletier has created a fabulous book full of inspiring eye candy in a rainbow of happy colors! Now, I might be biased…but not because she used one of my stencils (which is loaded with texture and text joy on p. 17) but because she is an encourager of creativity with a laugh out loud sense of fun! It [...]

“You’d be so good at vandalism Mom!” Hmm…maybe I need to rethink the example I am setting for my children….nah! Everyone should grab a can of spray paints and let loose occasionally! Nothing seems to be safe here from the paint lately at our house. The neighbors haven’t rioted yet with all the color. As [...]
It’s a wrap! All 4 videos have been shot and now are in the capable hands of Northlight! One of the most exciting things was they had a clapper! I looked around for the director’s chair and the beret but they were no where to be found. Turns out it isn’t the 1940’s anymore. [...]
This month’s Colorful Gelli Print Party is brought to you by a party…party fork that is! One of the many reasons I love the Gelli Plate® is that you can use just about anything with it, including a plastic fork to create quick texture. I’m also mixing the Deco Arts fluid acrylics right on the 4″ [...]
I’m popping up in all sorts of places lately….I’ve just wrapped up filming 4 videos with Northlight and I’ll be sharing all the little secrets like who scared me the most next week on the blog. And I’ll have a few extra stories from it just for my newsletter friends. If you don’t want to miss [...]
I was fortunate to be able to watch a master create recently. She created with abandon. Pure freedom from an inner critic. Freedom from judgement. Who was she? A 5 year old! My entire artistic journey has been about getting back to that place. She never asked if it was right. She never asked if it [...]
Art journaling has such power for me. Why? Because sometimes it reminds me of important messages from time to time. And that is exactly what happened today. Notice her chin. There’s no paint there and that is rather unusual since this was a print from a fully loaded Gelli Plate. And then I stamped right over [...]
I went round and round for this month’s Colorful Gelli Print Party! And that is a great thing! Why? Because it was so much fun to play with the 4″ round Gelli Plate. While playing around…who should show up? But a child! Makes sense since I felt like a little kid myself! And he [...]
Would the 6″ round Gelli Plate be much different than the big one? I wondered…I wasn’t sure until I played with it. It is different! The size feels so different than the 8″ plate. And thanks to the size, what I could do with it in my art journal blew my mind. Take a peek at [...]
What are these Color Bursts from Ken Oliver? They are a powder, lightweight, but pack a mighty punch once you add water. Might even say they burst with color when wet. https://youtu.be/kUaBgwTkInk Watch Color Burst Basics on YouTube. You can find Color Burst here. Be sure to stop back tomorrow because there is a blog hop [...]
