Not In My Right Mind

A Gelli print tag by Carolyn Dube

I was not in my right mind.  Really.  I was in my left brain, the logical and analytical brain.  I wanted to be in my right brain, the creative and intuitive brain.  How was I going to make that big leap into my right brain?  Gelli Plate to the rescue!

Squirting paint on the Gelli Plate and tossing on stencils, ripped paper and anything else within reach takes me to a happy place, my right brain.  When I lifted this tag up I just stared at it.  It begged to be made into something.  Yes, the tag talked to me and I answered with this!

I was loosening up and my playful side showed up! I grabbed a little bingo card, some foam letters and polymer clay faces for some fun.  The faces we made while taking Judy Shea’s workshop, Buttons n’Bellisments.  I haven’t messed with my clay in so very long – thank you Judy for teaching & motivating me!

    Your tag is gorgeous and I love the fun faces that work so well with the ‘play’ theme! I have been battling my left brain quite a bit lately too… playing is a great way to make it behave! Thanks so much for joining us at Anything But a Card!

  • Susi March 16, 2013, 1:02 am

    What a great tag! Like many others have said, thelittle faces are adorable as bingo pieces!
    As for battling with brain hemispheres, I’m battling with both sides, lol, and as of yet, I can’t say who is winning!
    The logical me is really screaming at the playful me because I’ve been playing so much that my dominant right arm (which is in a long arm cast) is not healing properly. So the logical me is saying STOP; and the playful me is having a very difficult time with that. But for now, I must heed my left brain if I want to be able to create art in the future!
