The Patience Fairy and Gel Printed Wings

This all started by making a gel print on tissue paper, which led to the wings, which led to the Patience Fairy! Along the way there were adventures, like what I saw in the gel print to getting the crown the "right" color to the ugly background that actually worked.
One of the many many great things about stencils is how many different ways you can play with them! What I've shared in this video is just the tip of the iceberg of what they can do!

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”.

This is so pretty! I struggle to match prints together and turn then into actual art pieces. Thank you for sharing your process! She is beautiful!

[@nancyring8104]

I love the wings!

[@LynnLBE]

Soooo beautiful 🦋🦋🦋🦋

[@elizabethbutler8510]

I love your stencils, I own a few of them. I knew before you went for the blue crown that you would change it to blue! 😊

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

I See LOTS of things.... such as faces, a lot of my "friendly alien critters" (that are somewhat similar to your figments of imagination creatures), and I even see a cartoon Unicorn. 😉 Your art piece is awesome. 🧚‍♀

[@OurStories3]

I dont know if it was the older picture or the carefree play. But this video brought me to actual tears. Wow art has never done this to me. I might have to give this a try.

[@duckigrrl]

I love this! I really need to get my gel plate out and start playing. But could you please send the patience fairy my way? I could use her help. :)

[@danetorode9197]

no offense... but this is just bad. sorry
