A Surprise Hardware Store Gel Printing Tool

acolorfuljourn... I've been trolling the hardware store for printing goodies again! The moment I saw these shapes I knew I had to try them on a Gel Press plate! I was blown away by the prints these made and with just one layer! Shout out to Marilee and Sharyl for letting me know they are called corner blocks!

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 acolorfuljourn...
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 KZbin 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”.

Thank you for this video, the results are brilliant! And, it's one of my favourite colours too!

I love these prints - I’m going to look for that color and the “stamps”

[@leslieibler4719]

Carolyn, as always.... Brilliant! Fun! I recognize the color because you made a bunch of converts out of all of us at the retreat. Would love the 600 plus ideas.

[@margeryciambra7344]

Oops my hand slipped- I meant to say it is a very funny remark but I’m running out tomorrow to get these “stamps”... like always, you come up with wonderful ideas....thanks for sharing this fun video. Margy

That second print reminds me of old blueprints - very cool. I wonder what twisting the molding looks like? Guess I’ll need to stop at the hardware store 😊
