What is the big deal about open acrylics and the Gelli Plate? I didn’t know until Mary Beth Shaw introduced me to them. I can’t believe I have lived this long without them….
The amount of the pigment in Golden combined with being Open acrylics means they stay wet longer and allow me to get some very crisp prints on the Gelli Plate. Check out this month’s Colorful Gelli Print Party video and see the Open acrylics in action!
You can find more inspiration and share your Gelli Prints in the Colorful Playground Google+ community at https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/114660937791011493491?cfem=1
There is something I HATE to do, really HATE to do. Every week I must do this and I spend most of the week dreading it. What is it?
Paying the bills. I detest writing the checks, abhor stuffing and stamping the envelopes. Until today.
Thanks to Seth Apter’s newest stencil, Inside Out, I am no longer cursing the act of paying the bills! I found a way to look forward to it. Dare I say, even be excited about it! Check out the video and how I turned the dread of bills into painty playful envelopes.

I had a blank canvas in front of me and I just could not make a decision on how to begin.
Paint or spray ink or watercolors? Stencil or collage or sketch? Blue or green or purple?
The questions just kept coming. I was completely in my head. Frozen. Not a decision could be made.
I turned to my friends over in A Colorful Playground. I pulled up the Google+ community on my computer. I looked for 3 seconds and whatever grabbed my eye, I had to use some element of it. Only allowing 3 seconds thwarts that over active left side of my brain so I can actually get busy creating!
Check out the video to see how I did the Hokey Pokey, centered a word with an index card, and let A Colorful Playground get me unstuck!
Here are the posts that helped me get unstuck from some very creative women! You can check out all the creativity and inspiration over at A Colorful Playground. If you’re new to Google+, don’t worry, we’re all learning it!
I’d love to know if you ever get stuck when you’re creating. Let me know in the comments how you handle it if/when you get stuck!
