I’ve got a new video today over at CreateMixedMedia.com for my latest guest post. This video was filmed a few months ago. Why so long? Because I had to send off my art journal page in time to the great people at Cloth Papers Scissors to be included in their 10th anniversary issue!
The article, called Roll the Dice, is all about using artful dice to stop negative chatter in my head. That negative voice can squash creativity so quickly and bring my play to a halt.
And yes…there is an Oops. I’m playing with a variety of supplies but the napkin had an almost unavoidable (for me at least) moment which I totally embraced. But as much as my heart wanted to embrace it the other napkin didn’t. For once, it didn’t do what it usually did! Check out the video over at CreateMixedMedia and see the misbehaving napkin!

Nice article. A very cute idea. I meant to email you after I saw it. I LOVE it when my friends get published!
LOVED the video, too!
Cool dice! Love how you worked through this!
Love this page and those silhouettes!!
Congrats Carolyn!
Wow! Thanks for the chance to win. I am going over to stencilgirl to ckeck out the sale. Thanks!
I did a page in my art journal based on your page in this video. Love it! Thanks for the inspiration! 😀
I really enjoyed the article and the dice are such a great idea to engage with. Congrats on being published again. xox
The minute I finished reading your article in “Cloth, Paper, Scissors,” I started making my own set of dice. What a great idea, especially for people like me who have a hard time getting started on a page because there are so many possibilities and so many art supplies. Thank you for this article.
Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful Marcy!
How did you create your dice? Wood blocks ??
Thanks
