A Controversial Art Journaling Decision

  • In today's play we'll be using a gel plate to do speedy stenciling (and it creates an irregular, organic element) as this art journal comes together. What is the controversial decision I made? It has to do with my stance on covering up layers. Check out the full blog post at acolorfuljourney.com/?p=36817
    Stencil-rific Layers is all about how stencils work on a gel plate. It's not magic or random luck getting prints you love and any anyone, including you, can make prints like these when you understand how stencils interact with paint and color on a gel plate. You can check out all the details about the workshop at acolorfuljourney.com/?page_id...

    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 UA-cam 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”.

    Neat! 😃👍🏼
    I personally have trouble covering layers up - if I like them.... But Sometimes you just have to do it , for the good of the project/page. Your page came out great! ☺👍🏼

    I enjoyed that enormously! Thank you, Carolyn. I loved your use of the gel plate and the stencils. I often forget to be more courageous in my use of stencils....they don't always have to be the "right side up". This was fun and I got some much needed inspiration! Love and Bless xo

    I love how this page turned out, but I have to admit I would find it very hard to paint that white over the beautiful background you created. I would definitely call that "courageous"! ❤😍🥰

  • @AlisonHeikkila
    @AlisonHeikkila 7 місяців тому +1

    It's so fun to watch you work, especially because you don't plan...like me. I'm part of both controversial camps....I have a hard time covering up my work sometimes, but other times, it's nice to keep it just in my memory, and highlight only parts of a piece.

    • @CarolynDube
      @CarolynDube  7 місяців тому

      Sounds like you get the best of both camps!

    "It’s a trigger for some" is the phrase you used to open your blog post about this. please don't use this language lightly. every time someone makes a stupid joke about "triggers" it makes it harder for survivors and people with mental illness to use this word for it's legitimate reason. please be respectful of the disabled and survivors in the art community.
