Video tutorial on how to dress a doll in washi tape with Artysville's tape by Carolyn Dube

 

I was dressing my kewpie doll with washi tape yesterday on my blog for Artysville’s blog hop. She’s a bit of prankster this little doll…when I leave the studio she goes and hides in my supplies…

I’ve been getting around this week too- oh that doesn’t sound too good does it? I’ve got a Stencil FUNdamental with wood icing video over at StencilGirl Talk.

 

 

 

Watch The Tale of Goldilocks and Her Stencil Storage on YouTube.

I’ve been asked by many how I store my stencils (since I have a few).  So, with the help of Goldilocks I have a little tale for you today that explains it all…And  you can see how several of the creative team at StencilGirl store their stencils here .

If you are still reading you get a gold star because this is one long post!  Hope you have a fun and creative weekend!

Sharing this week’s artful adventures with my friends at  Paint Party Friday, Art Journal Everyday and Creative Everyday.

  • Bleubeard and Elizabeth September 21, 2013, 5:55 am

    It’s times like these I almost give in and join Facebook, then realize that would be stupid since I have enough on my plate at the moment. But I think it was probably wise you took the plunge.

    Thanks for the chance to win one of Seth’s stencils.

  • Janeen September 21, 2013, 5:55 am

    Liked your new business Facebook page. Great colors…love having another access to your work.

  • Dianne Thompson September 21, 2013, 6:53 am

    yep, liked your fb page, watched a couple of your videos too. Thanks for the chance to win the stencil. Great storage idea for them, no more struggling to get them to slide inside a sleeve that always catches a tiny piece of the stencil and bends it sideways grrrr. Now to find where I can get those clear plastic hooks

  • Lissa September 21, 2013, 8:16 am

    This stencil is on my wish list!! I never liked your page on FB but loved it!! Love all the stuff you do. You are a great inspiration for me!! Thanks!

  • Janelle Rourke September 21, 2013, 10:00 am

    Loved your video and a great idea for your stencils. I don’t have room for a clip it up, besides the cats would have a field day with it! lol The stencils I bought 6+ years ago, I have in a binder, and find I don’t think about them unless one of them pops in my head. All my new ones I have in a 12×12 plastic drawer, and while the drawer doesn’t always make it back with the others, I can get to the ones I need for now! Liked your new FB page. Love the header. I am really enjoying your blog and videos, and learned alot. Would love to win that stencil. It is really awesome, and so many possibilities of ways to use it. Thanks for a chance to win, and we all need your muse coming out to play!
