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”.

So glad you never learned to not play with food products - these prints are wonderful

[@CarolynDube]

Food is such a great source of gel printing fun- and now nobody can tell me not to play with food lol!

[@viviankirkham1677]

I love the black paper and the prints where you put a lot of paint

[@nancyring8104]

Your ingenuity has no boundaries!! 🌈❤️😁

[@CarolynDube]

Or I get left unsupervised too much and this kind of thing happens Nancy lol!

[@maggieb4648]

I love the paint colours you chose to use on the black, and the overall look. I like the last couple of prints, with more paint, the best, but either way looks great!

[@EmberShadowtempest]

I am always impressed.on how youre able to find objects that make great patterns. You are able.to get A lot of use out of your gel.plate. Great.video

[@rubytoo7]

Corn cobs can be found at bird feed shops, feed stores, and fresh or frozen at the grocery store (DIY drying it).

[@CarolynDube]

Thanks Brenda! Didn't even know there was such a thing as bird feed shops! I am so a city girl!

[@pennycandyys]

Very cool effect, reminds me of newsprint, the shapes from the lines of lettering. I bet you could use fresh corn as well, carefully. I do like the print obtained from using more paint, in this video. :)

[@revCMF]

1:50 wow! That’s amazing…. love your corny ideas.

[@CarolynDube]

[@aneelab8476]

lovely idea and presentation!

[@CarolynDube]

Thanks so much Aneela!

[@gloriaschurman6221]

Such a fun idea...did you try putting the paint as you usually do and then rolling the ear of corn over that...I think it would give another type of print....thanks for sharing.

[@CarolynDube]

You are absolutely right Gloria! Corn works great that way too!
