My stenciling wasn’t perfect. My colored pencil work wasn’t perfect. Nothing on this is perfect and I love it that way!
This Gelli print, made using a technique from my One Pull Wonders workshop, started it all. The swirls of color started to look like continents and it fit so perfectly with Mary Nasser’s stencil…before I knew it, I was cutting out the world!
This woman,joyfully holding an incredibly imperfect colorful world in her hands, reminds me that even if something is a “mistake” (an Oops to me) it can still be wonderful and incredible!

Wonderful globe Carolyn, I love the idea of a colourful globe, let’s say we could have pink hills and yellow rivers…
I like your world oh yes I do. That’s the kind I live in most of the time. xox
Oh, I love it!!! Gorgeous set of pages! We don’t want perfect any way… I always like mine to look like I did it and not some print from the store. 😉
LOVE the colors and how you used Mary’s stencil!! And I love your careful and precise ways!! They inspire me!

Great resolutions for the year 🙂 LOVE your journal page with the girl holding the fabulous world you created. As usual I love your encouragement to let go, or rather, to embrace imperfection, something I managed to start doing last year!
