What "fancy" tool was used to create these weathered layers of color? A hair brush! Yes, you read that correctly, a hair brush! This is just one of many ways you can start a gel print and if you want more ideas then get my free downloadable video and pdf, 600 Gel Printing Ideas for Beginners bit.ly/3ScJo6F. It's is packed with everything you need to know to make a print, create layers, and on top of that 600 ways to start a print. Can all that be in one single video? Yup. See how! Just go to bit.ly/3ScJo6F and let me know where to send it!

Want to play? Want to know specific ways to let go and have fun? Join the fun in my free mixed media workshop Permission to Play acolorfuljourney.com/permission-play-free-workshop
You can find me designing stencils for StencilGirl Products, teaching in person and online workshops and sharing the message of O.O.P.S. here on YouTube and on the blog, aColorfulJourney.com
What does O.O.P.S. stand for? It stands for Outstanding Opportunities Presenting Suddenly.
Those “failures” and “mistakes” that we so harshly criticized ourselves about actually became true gifts as soon as you start saying O.O.P.S. Try saying Oops in an angry tone. It makes it even more silly!
I just can’t take myself seriously when I say Oops which is just what I needed to play. I began to play, to have fun, and to embrace all of my “mistakes”.
