Carolyn Dube's Art Lesson

Do you know about Art Lessons over at Interweave (the Cloth Paper Scissors people)?  Each month there is a new digital download and this month I am very excited to see my name on it. (Confession- excited is an understatement…)  This $1.99 digital download is all about stencils (shocker) and modeling paste.  You can find out all about my Art Lesson here.

And at long last I’ve taken the plunge and built a Facebook business page.  You can find it here.  I would love love love it if you’d like it.  Every like bribes my muse to come and visit me more often!

Video tutorial on how to dress a doll in washi tape with Artysville's tape by Carolyn Dube

 

I was dressing my kewpie doll with washi tape yesterday on my blog for Artysville’s blog hop. She’s a bit of prankster this little doll…when I leave the studio she goes and hides in my supplies…

I’ve been getting around this week too- oh that doesn’t sound too good does it? I’ve got a Stencil FUNdamental with wood icing video over at StencilGirl Talk.

 

 

 

Watch The Tale of Goldilocks and Her Stencil Storage on YouTube.

I’ve been asked by many how I store my stencils (since I have a few).  So, with the help of Goldilocks I have a little tale for you today that explains it all…And  you can see how several of the creative team at StencilGirl store their stencils here .

If you are still reading you get a gold star because this is one long post!  Hope you have a fun and creative weekend!

Sharing this week’s artful adventures with my friends at  Paint Party Friday, Art Journal Everyday and Creative Everyday.

Video tutorial on how to dress a doll in washi tape with Artysville's tape by Carolyn Dube

Aimee over at Artsyville has designed the most playful and fun washsi tape!  6 amazing designs that capture the color of the rainbow and you know how much I love the rainbow.   And Aimee is giving one lucky commenter a set of 6!

The plain kewpie doll I had on the shelf raised her plastic hand and shouted “pick me pick me” when I brought the tape into my studio.    Now she is all dressed in high fashion washi tape clothing.  I captured it all on film for you to see so you too can dress with washi tape.

You can watch Dressing a doll with washi tape on YouTube here.

Where do I put my newly clothed doll? On my shelf with my art supplies of course.  She now looks over me and makes sure I use a rainbow in everything I do…

Video showing how to build a colorful award ribbon with Carolyn Dube

Apparently, I only buy gift wrap for Christmas, baby showers, and weddings.  I needed to wrap a gift and could not find an appropriate wrapping paper so I made some!  This award ribbon, celebrating friendship, was supposed to go on a gift bag…after making this, I just wanted to put into my art journal or make it a pin…guess I need to make more!

As a bonus, I got to use some of the ribbons I have been accumulating- that felt great!

The green text washi tape was made using one of the techniques from my Transform Your Tape workshop.  You can find out all about it here.

The winner of a free spot in my workshop will be randomly selected soon!  UPDATE!! Carol Samsel is the winner of the workshop!  Congrats Carol!!
