Thank you everyone for such a fantastic response to the Modeling Paste Play a la carte workshops! So who did Random.org pick? Kathy Stitzman! Check your email Kathy for all the details on how to jump on in to the workshop!
I’m starting to get packed up for the workshops I’m teaching at Artiscape this month. You might be wondering why I am starting so soon to pack. Artiscape is April 22-24th and it is just a car ride away for me.
The reason is simple. Whenever I pack up Gelli® printing supplies, I have to stop and start playing.
Here are the two workshops where I’ll be playing…I mean teaching…
Gelli-cious Gems from the Gelli Plate®: We’re making packing tape transfers of color and pattern and I’m sharing step-by-step how to get the layers to build up so that just the right bits and colors are peeking through when you pull up that tape. Getting those fine details is not random at all and you’ll know how in this workshop.
Then we’re going to take those and make beautiful one of a kind necklaces! when you walk out the door you’ll have 2 complete pendants each with 24” matching chains. One for you and one to give…or both for you!
Plus a bonus of the process is that you will create a stack of scrumptious colorful prints while prepping your plate for the tape transfer.
You can find out all about this workshop and registration here.
Reverse Gelli Printing® with Silhouettes and Stencils: Using the reverse image of a stencil creates even more possibilities for a stencil!
You’ll be making a of prints using silhouettes and StencilGirl stencils on the Gelli Plate® in this technique based workshop. You’ll not only get hands-on play with a huge stash of stencils, you will also find out the whys and how’s of layering shapes and patterns on the plate using reverse printing.
I’ve spent a lot of time playing around and finding the quickest ways to get amazing prints and avoiding making mud no matter how many colors I use and I’m sharing it all with you in this workshop. Be prepared to make a giant stack of prints in this fast paced workshop!

My feelings were messy. Not emotionally messy, just scribbly and playfully messy. I never know where the play will take me and for this page I even ended up adding a ton of white space!
Why am I journaling feelings today? I’m the guest artist at Tiare Smith’s Journal About Me (JAM) year long free event. The prompts for this week are to use stencils and I feel____. Apparently I felt messy based on this art journal page!
When I got the end of my play for the day…I couldn’t decide whether or not this page was finished. Be sure to let me know what you think I should do next to it.
Watch Art journaling with scribbled words and stencil masks on YouTube.
I used all those scribbly feelings to create a colorful dancer using one of the 6 masks that come with my Dance of This Life stencil from StencilGirl.
So is this page finished? I was on the fence when I finished filming the video. But now I know it isn’t. What do you think I should do next to it?
Here are the supplies I used. Some of these links are affiliate links which means I get a small percentage. It doesn’t cost you anything extra and you are helping me keep this blog and my videos ad free! Thank you- I don’t like ads any more than you do!
The small rubber stamps are a mixture of all sorts of bargain sets of little stamps.
