Play: Mission Impossible or Mission Possible? 2016’s Let’s Play is all about sharing how I have learned to play so I chose to accept the mission from the muse!
This week’s Let’s Play video, I found an art supply at the hardware store, Mesh Drywall tape.
How does the hardware store help me play? There is no wrong way to use it because I am already using it in a way that wasn’t intended by the manufacturer.
While using it to make an art journal background Gelli printing®, if my inner critic tried to say I was doing it “wrong” I could dish that attitude right back because there is not rule book for how to do it!
Everything was going along normally, until I added these silly stamps from Technique Junkies. That is is when my muse trapped a song in my head…and I am still singing it!
Watch How to use a texture tool on gelli plate to make silly art journal page on YouTube.
It wasn’t until I was writing up this blog post that I noticed I turned the journal upside down…oops…and I’m glad I did because I like how the color blocks worked this way!
Now you’ve seen my play, let’s see yours! In the link party below, share whatever you’re creating (it can be any play) and that will encourage and inspire others to let themselves play too! And of course, you’ll be entered in the $50 giveaway too…actually entered twice if you share your play! You can upload directly to the link party too- no blog needed!
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!
