There’s no spell check in art. Once you paint a word there aren’t any squiggly red lines alerting you to a misspelling. Or a quick delete button to fix it.
So what did I do when I had a typo? Nothing. It’s just an Oops. Well, I did laugh at myself…I have always been a challenged speller and it is a part of who I am. It also explains why I am not a newspaper editor…
This play started with this random paint and collage play with a Spark of Art-spiration on a piece of scrap cardboard.

This photo of an unknown couple reminded me that the little things in my life are the sacred treasures to cherish.
Those everyday moments like setting the table together for dinner, the rides to school, chasing a wet dog around the house when he escapes at bath time, watching The Voice together, are the sacred moments I treasure with my family.
What are the everyday moments you treasure in your life?
There is free stuff all around that is just begging to be used on the Gelli Plate! A recent stay in a hotel room provided me lots of free goodies that I thought would be cool to use on the Gelli Plate! So, for this month’s Colorful Gelli Print Party I decided to bring it all home and play!
What did I use? A drink carrier from McDonald’s, bars of soap, and a mini bottle of shampoo.
Want more Gelli Plate inspiration? Check out just some of what was shared in the last month over in the Google+ community, A Colorful Playground. There’s Claudia MB turning junk mail into something happy, Miranda Banks is playing with leaves, Kristi Matta is making jewelry with prints, Ruth L is die cutting Gelli prints, Cyberbogeee6 is using Distress inks on the plate, and so much more! And while you’re there – share what you’ve been making! New to Google+? No problem! We’re all learning that together.
Everyone is on their own unique and powerful journey. I feel so lucky to be able to learn about the journey of so many artists thanks to Connie Hozvicka putting together 7 weeks of free interviews. That is the exciting part.
Now for the scary part…Connie interviewed me. This was my first video interview…and with a new camera. So that means I have no idea if it all worked smoothly or if the camera angle turned out well or if I even sound coherent since I was so nervous. I have no clear memory of what I said when this was recorded a couple of months ago but what I do remember is how wonderful and warm Connie was, how comfortable she made me feel. Thank you Connie for helping me do something new!
Head on over to Dirty Footprints Studio to check out the video!
