I’ve got a new video today over at CreateMixedMedia.com for my latest guest post. This video was filmed a few months ago. Why so long? Because I had to send off my art journal page in time to the great people at Cloth Papers Scissors to be included in their 10th anniversary issue!
The article, called Roll the Dice, is all about using artful dice to stop negative chatter in my head. That negative voice can squash creativity so quickly and bring my play to a halt.
And yes…there is an Oops. I’m playing with a variety of supplies but the napkin had an almost unavoidable (for me at least) moment which I totally embraced. But as much as my heart wanted to embrace it the other napkin didn’t. For once, it didn’t do what it usually did! Check out the video over at CreateMixedMedia and see the misbehaving napkin!

Things don’t always go as planned with me and that is what happened here. I had the intention of making this into a blueprint type of thing since this stencil was inspired by blueprints of archeological sites. But my mind took it a totally different direction and turned into an idea factory! Be sure to check out the video and see how I layer the stencils.

I use art to process emotions and feelings but sometimes I get stuck. That’s when having a prompt helps me get moving again. Gelli prints and my new Verbage stencil to the rescue!
This stencil, packed with words of action to celebrate the emotions and excitement of life, is a great way to create prompt cards. And I’m giving one away to celebrate my latest release at StencilGirl!
*Just to clarify, Verbage is not to be confused with verbiage. Verbiage is a real word. Verbage is a slang term that refers to a big list of verbs like on this stencil.
Win This Stencil!
