I’m feeling a little silly today…why? Because of a live webinar I’m doing with Northlight! I get to answer your questions – you can ask me anything! Plus, I created 2 exclusive videos just for the webinar.
Now it’s called a live webinar but you don’t have to be there live…you get the recording to download as well as the 2 videos I created to watch when it fits your schedule. Live means I don’t get a do over…it’s all rolling and that means there will probably be an Oops and you know I love a good Oops!
What’s going to be in these videos? A new way I am using a glue stick thanks to…you guessed it…an Oops! Turns out the lid is supposed to go back on the glue stick in a timely manner. Oops! And what an exciting one for me because I actually like my glue stick dry better than wet now! I’m also using ColorBursts with Duralar and there will be stencils too!
Come and join me for some laughter and fun in this live webinar! It’s September 17th at 1pm Eastern. You can find all the details here.
It was just going to be a few prints. That’s what I told myself. And then it happened. I couldn’t stop. I didn’t want to stop! All I had planned to do was get things packed for my upcoming workshop, Gelli® Printing Easy as 1-2-3 in Mason, Ohio. Just thinking about the 3 steps to making amazing prints we’re going to be doing on Sept. 12th was too tempting for me…I had to play with the rainbow!
Sometimes I get a little over excited about color and flood the plate with an abundance of paint. So much that my brayer was super juicy! A mistake? Absolutely not! It’s a OOPS and I loved the look of the prints so much I did it again and again!
Even with all this paint, I didn’t make mud. If you’d like to see how, I’ve got a video about mixing colors on the Gelli Plate® here along with other helpful info about getting started with Gelli printing®.
The rainbow brings me happiness so I made rainbow prints…a lot of prints! What stencil did I use? It’s my Wonky Eyes stencil I designed for StencilGirl. What am I going to do with all these prints? Well, I was supposed to be getting things ready for my upcoming workshop so I think I’ll use them to create a little something for each student.
In the greater Cincinnati area and want to explore fun ways to play with the Gelli® Plate? Join me at the Arts Alliance on September 12th. Just a few spots left. Hope to see you there!
