30 August 201312 May 2017 | Marsha.

This usually greets me first thing in the morning: a fresh pot of tea on the kitchen counter.

Around here | Hi! How are you?⠀ ⠀ Here's a little sneak peek of something fun coming up on the @gelliarts blog later this week!⠀ ⠀ I'm in a bit of a weird place. I feel like I didn't pay enough attention and all of a sudden summer has slipped through my fingers.⠀ ⠀ Which isn't right, because I think I've made more of this sunny season than I do most years!⠀ ⠀ But the last two weeks have been rough. We've had to say goodbye to a beloved aunt. Her death didn't come as a surprise, and she has lived a long and full life, but we will miss her loads.⠀ ⠀ On top of all the sadness, I was stressed and worried out of my mind because I've stupidly broken my laptop.⠀ ⠀ So if you've read this far, here's a quick reminder: Keep liquids as far from your computer as possible + Back up, back up, back up!⠀ ⠀ I'm not that worried about my files and photos though. Losing a person in the same week certainly puts things into perspective.⠀ ⠀ But I do realise how lucky I am to have that laptop and all of the software I work with on a daily basis. It's so much harder to do the work without it. So fingers crossed that it can be brought back to working order. ⠀ ⠀ Until then I think I will stay on my summer schedule a bit longer. Because I'm so not ready for autumn. Besides my old laptop is slooooooooowwwww.⠀ ⠀ #GelliArts #GelliPlate #Printmaking #Printmaker #Monoprinting #AddictedToGelli #gelliprinted #gelliprinting #gelliprints #gelliprint #gelprintingplate #littlestoriesofmylife

The Stencilfied Journal | Prompt #12: Stencil the front and back cover. Put your journal in a bowl of coffee/tea for 5 min.⠀ ⠀ Uhm... Yeah...⠀ ⠀ I didn't just give my journal a foot bath; I dunked the entire thing. Everything got soaked. ⠀ ⠀ But first I stencilled the cover using Liquitex Gloss Medium and Varnish and @stencilgirl_products stencils by @mbshaw, @natkalbach, @gwenlafleurstudios and @dottystripes.⠀ ⠀ I was hoping the tea would stain the cover, but I can't say that it did much of anything. ⠀ ⠀ The hardest part about the experiment was to get the journal to dry afterwards.⠀ ⠀ I used a hair dryer and later a heat tool to get the worst of the moisture out.⠀ ⠀ Two of the pages got damaged because they stuck together. There was colour transfer and bleeding on others, but nothing serious. And I had to readhere some of the collage elements.⠀ ⠀ If nothing else, this was a great exercise in how to rescue a journal!!!⠀ ⠀ The Stencilfied Journal is a StencilGirl® Collaboration Challenge hosted by the fab @adogslife13. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀ From June through September she's sharing one 'Wreck this Journal'-esque prompt a week (16 in total). ⠀ ⠀ It's not too late to join us! So if this sounds like something you'd enjoy then, by all means, grab a notebook and... stencilfy it!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ------⠀ ⠀ Please note that though I am a @stencilgirl_products columnist, and most of the materials used for this prompt were given to me, this is not a sponsored post! I'm participating in this collab because I think @adogslife rocks and the challenge is a lot of fun!!! ⠀ ⠀ #thestencilfiedjournal #stencilgirl #stencilgirlproducts #mixedmedia #artjournaling #stencils #natkalbach #marybethshaw #daniellawoolf #gwenlafleur #artjournaleveryday #jumpstartyourcreativity #artastherapy #liquitex #glossmedium

The Stencilfied Journal | Prompt #11: Bring your outside page back in. Put it in your journal. Stencil it.⠀ ⠀ Swipe to see the page that was outside for more than eight weeks! It's still in remarkable condition!⠀ ⠀ I guess that says something about acrylic paint, doesn't it? And I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing.⠀ ⠀ Anyway, I didn't want to mess with the tag too much, so I stencilled on top of the existing design with an embossing pad and embossing powder by @wowembossing. ⠀ ⠀ The @stencilgirl_products stencil I used for this is one of my favourites by @natkalbach: Art Deco Wallpaper.⠀ ⠀ The Stencilfied Journal is a StencilGirl® Collaboration Challenge hosted by the fab @adogslife13. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ From June through September she's sharing one 'Wreck this Journal'-esque prompt a week (16 in total).⠀ ⠀ It's not too late to join us!

Ten years | Sooooo... the question of the day is: where were you ten years ago today?⠀ ⠀ I know exactly where I was!⠀ ⠀ The spot where the photo was taken doesn't look anything like this today. I walk and bike past it often. It's in the shadow of a big building now, neatly paved, and there usually is no sign of graffiti.⠀ ⠀ So, so much can happen and change in 10 years! But he's still here. And I am still here. Together. That's all that matters. ❤️
