https://youtu.be/jK2Mzl3Xb8g I’m so excited to be able to share the play that’s been happening with the Overlapping Shapes collection! It’s my latest release over at StencilGirl Products!

https://youtu.be/OW2GSDpdzAo What happens when you fold a round gel plate over and over? A kaleidoscope gel print! There’s something so exciting when that gel plate flops back flat and the pattern is revealed! If you want to see how this technique was discovered, and need a laugh, check out the livestream recordings in my Facebook [...]
https://youtu.be/HxALbe1THcE What can you do when you want colorful fabric that’s uniquely yours? Print it on a gel plate! That’s how I made the colorful fabric that I turned into protective face masks. I never would have expected to be needing these- but if it helps keep us all safer, and this blasted virus to [...]
https://youtu.be/ANH-kZAG9ak The stir crazies are getting to me and I’m beginning to question my sanity.

What do I do when I don’t know what to do? I’m sharing that along with the video showing how I made this reminder to hang on the wall not to take things so seriously. It’s all over in my guest post at StencilGirl Talk. StencilGirl Talk is the blog for StencilGirl Products where they [...]
