Welcome! I’m Carolyn Dube – This colorful journey is all about the freedom of play!
Joy. That sums up what I felt all day long in my Meet the Crazies workshop at Art Is You. So much laughing, so much silliness, and so many amazing women leaving their comfort zone and letting go of fear!
Thanks Maja, Arlene, Patty, Sandi, Kymm, Lori, Deborah, Maureen, Christi, and Julia for such a fantastic day filled with the excitement of letting go and embracing fearless play!
I’d love to share more photos with you but my dog gone iPhone quit working!
Where’s the rainbow? Where’s the lime green or hot pink? Not in this post! It is all neutrals as I use some UTEE and molds from Kari McKnight Holbrook to make some easy charms.
Disclaimer: I am not a jewelry master, so feel free to laugh at my clumsy wire wrapping for making the loops in the video!

These won’t stay white forever but what will they become? Necklaces? Earrings? Charms? Not sure yet, but you know I’ll be sharing when I add some color to them!
Supplies Used:
I wanted a tall tree with full branches of wonderful leaves in my art journal. But I didn’t have that- or did I? I made some surgical “adjustments” to the Branching Blossoms stencil to get the look I was after. I used scissors and the very fancy tool called an index card.
Why did I want a tall tree so badly? It was all because of my morning walks. The last several days there has been the most amazing colors to the trees at the park. Thank you rain! I wanted to capture one of those tall beauties in my journal.
Watch Yes, you can cut up your purchased stencils on YouTube.
I didn’t get the art journal page finished and that is okay with me. This page may sit like this for a day, a week, a year or more. I have given myself permission to play in my art journal without the pressure to finish everything right now. I encourage you to give yourself permission too!
