The Patience Fairy and Gel Printed Wings Carolyn Dube 2023-05-26 | This all started by making a gel print on tissue paper, which led to the wings, which led to the Patience Fairy!

All Tied Up in Knots - a stencil, a gel plate, and watercolors Carolyn Dube 2023-05-20 | I'm all tied up in knots, but not just any kind of knot, a Gordian Knot. There's something different about that kind of knot - it's one with no beginning, no ending, and it is symbolic of an unsolvable problem that is solved with a little creative thinking. The mythology and meaning of Gordian Knots inspired this collection of stencils at StencilGirl. Here I'm sharing how I quickly stencil with a gel plate, then add color to the open spaces with the very forgiving watercolor!

A silly thing led to all the decisions on this. All in the full video-https://youtu.be/ciCvow-SD6o Carolyn Dube 2023-05-12 | The Silly Thing That Drove These Art Journaling Decisions. When you're creating, you have choices. The criteria you use to make those choices plays a big role in what you create. This could be a deeply philosophical topic, but it's not here. What drove my choices in this art journal was how to avoid cleaning. There was one little spot where I didn't mind the cleaning- blotting off the stencil- that never feels like cleaning but it does get the excess paint off the stencil. The stencil is Cathedral Wrought Iron that I designed for StencilGirl bit.ly/40ICeef***I’m using a Liquitex water based spray paint so there isn’t much of an odor, but it is still spray paint, so be sure to do it in a well ventilated area or wear a mask.***Full video and complete supply list youtu.be/ciCvow-SD6o#artjournal #stencil #spraypaint #stencilgirl #mixedmedia

Whats the purpose of making art? Carolyn Dube 2023-03-24 | A question I've been asked repeatedly over the years is, "What do you do with it?" The it being an art journal or a stack of gel prints or ATCs. This question can be taken two ways. It can be meant in the spirit of what's the next step in the process or it can mean what's the point of making it?

The Stencil Controversy and DIY Tape Carolyn Dube 2022-10-28 | acolorfuljourney.com/?p=34922 I never expected my latest stencil release to stir up so much controversy. But it did.

This play all began on gel print I made using my Overlapping Hearts stencil from StencilGirl Products.
