“You’d be so good at vandalism Mom!” Hmm…maybe I need to rethink the example I am setting for my children….nah! Everyone should grab a can of spray paints and let loose occasionally! Nothing seems to be safe here from the paint lately at our house. The neighbors haven’t rioted yet with all the color. As a bonus, when the wind blows the trash cans down the street everyone now knows who they belong too.
The Chalk Spray Paints are at Amazon and at Dick Blick. These aren’t traditional spray paints, they are temporary chalk ones. This may take quite a while to wear off since it only goes outside once a week….I put it on a concrete wall a couple of months ago and it is still bright and vibrant!
What stencils did I use? More like which did I not…here are just some of the ones I used. All can be found at StencilGirl.
It’s a wrap! All 4 videos have been shot and now are in the capable hands of Northlight! One of the most exciting things was they had a clapper! I looked around for the director’s chair and the beret but they were no where to be found. Turns out it isn’t the 1940’s anymore.
I discovered a new use for an iron…it can be used to get wrinkles out of clothes. Who knew! I usually just use it to for things like embossing powders and beeswax…
The scariest, most intimidating person at the entire shoot was Smiling Bob! Of course the anxiety may have been the camera right behind him. Nope…it was that mustache!
OOPS! I still haven’t learned to put the cap on a bottle…there will be a blooper reel coming. You’d think I’d learned…but no….and then there was the paint on the face…and the uncontrollable laughter right before we started filming…
What could make me laugh so hard? A blindfolded producer, Amy, who was such an incredible sport!The greatest treat of the whole journey was getting to know such a fantastic crew! Thanks Amy, Christine, Sam, and Aaron for everything!
This month’s Colorful Gelli Print Party is brought to you by a party…party fork that is! One of the many reasons I love the Gelli Plate® is that you can use just about anything with it, including a plastic fork to create quick texture.
I’m also mixing the Deco Arts fluid acrylics right on the 4″ Gelli Plate®…I like the quick and easy way to do things!
Want to see what others are making with the Gelli Plate? Take a look in the Google+ community, A Colorful Playground. And while you’re there – share what you’ve been making! New to Google+? No problem! We’re all learning that together.
