Welcome to this month’s Colorful Gelli Print Party! This month we’re making a simple tool that creates fantastic patterns on the Gelli Plate with just a simple twist! Check out the video to see how much fun an empty vitamin bottle can be!
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 Ruth using Gelli prints in her illustrations, Kristi is making a canvas pouch, Christina is using shipping labels with her plate, MaryAnne made a 3D photo cube, 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.
Have you played with PanPastels yet? I love them because I never have to wait for them to dry, they are so rich and loaded with vibrant color, and I can just smear them around without any planning.
Check out this giveaway! PanPastels, a storage tray, Mary Beth’s favorite sponges with stencils (which StencilGirl now carries) and of course a stencil!

How many people does it take to make an apron? Well, in my case…a roomful!
We all wanted to play together while at Art Is You in Memphis so we took Linda Willis’s class knowing it would be relaxed, comfortable, and fun because of her teaching style. She is incredibly generous, both with her knowledge and her supplies!
Person #1- The saint. The person who knows how to make an apron, how to teach, and how to work with someone who is patience impaired. That would be Linda Willis.
Person #2- The person who laughs with me and occasionally at me…and I have to say, I do deserve an occasional laughing at…Okay, that is also person 3, 4, 5, 6…the whole room was laughing as we played in class.
Person #3- The person who babysat me to be sure I didn’t spill any of the various textile paints, mediums, and other liquids. But it sure was fun to try out all different kinds of textile paints.
Person #4- Someone who listened carefully, taking in all of Linda’s directions, then carefully ironed and stitched. Notice I don’t have any even seams or truly straight stitching anywhere but I did have fun!
Person #5- Me- the person who did the fun work on the apron…the hard work of sewing some straight hems…
Want to see more aprons? Well hop over to their blogs and check ’em out! If you haven’t stopped by Julia’s blog yet, take a moment and leave her comment welcoming her to the world of blogging! She’s just starting her blog and I am looking forward to all the great things she’ll be creating and sharing!
Thank you Linda for a day of laughter and creative joy! If you want to play with Linda, she will be teaching at Art is You in Stamford , Treasure Keepers and Reversible Apron. I am teaching Meet The Crazies! in Stamford too. Hope we can both see you there!
