Time was on my mind around the start of new year and I wanted to capture that in an art journal page. Start of the new year? It’s March! Well, this video got lost in my files and I just found it again. Better late than never!
Little did I know when I started this page, that there would be a battle for control. Right brain wanted to play. Left brain wanted precision. My muse was thoroughly entertained watching all of it- I am quite sure!
I should have had a clue something was amiss when I tried to do a messy sloppy stencil job and it wasn’t messy….and it’s all caught on video for you!

Time is limited, so sometimes I only have a little of it for play. To make the most of the time, one of my tricks is to start with a Gelli print® from my stash. I was able to get an art journal page finished in under 10 minutes thanks to that print. If you’re new to Gelli prints® and want to know more, I have a page of resources and videos here.
What a fun blog post, Carolyn! Made me chuckle several times! I can very much identify with your battle between the two parts of the brain! These quick pages are good to get the art craving out of your system, even if you don’t have much time!
Carolyn, you never cease to make me smile. I love these colors and your way with oops and your muse!
Such fun. I have this struggle as well.!
A whirling dervish travels back and forth in my brain. Sometimes it seems like there are side shoots we don’t even recognize. Wonderful, colorful, drama play always welcome from you. You are a kindred spirit. xox
Fixating…life altering decisions…left brain that will not shut up – OMG – are you inside my head??? 🙂 Literally LOL so thanks for that & for the tip about stenciling up & down for less chance of smearing – I did not know that & my left brain much appreciates the tip. 🙂
