BOO!

It's spooky day here in Northern California! Rain is coming for this All Hallows Eve and while it may put a damper on the Trick or Treat goblins in our neighborhood, my studio, in all its glorious mess, will be haunted with inspiration and creativity. While I had a spooktacular time creating my Coffin Wreath this October, I am ready to begin the 25 Days of Christmas + 7 album.

This year, I'll be featuring Tim Holtz Idea-ology Tidings Mini Stash 8x8. And all the other joyful Idea-ology goodies which can be found here: www.simonsaysstamp.com

I'll be posting bi-weekly in November on the process & progress of the album. If you'd like to play along, please join me.

Be happy,

Elisa

It's a good life, a new year & a million possibilities for creative output.

I've been up to fun with my Gelli Arts plates. I so enjoy trying new techniques with this versatile tool & endless outcomes.  How would texture paste work? With a stencil? Crackle paste? Distress paints and Golden cohabiting on the same pull? Then how would a few sprinkles of  alcohol inks play out on the print? Oh, and what about...? This is how I've been playing these past few weeks. And it is mind blowing!

I find so much inspiration in watching YouTube videos. Donna Downey is by far my favorite. I just love her chutzpah & spirit. I've learned from her to just go for it, do what makes me happy & take chances everyday. It's incredibly liberating.

I'd encourage you to ask questions of your art, allow it to speak & see what marvelous creations come forth.

Peace & growth,

Elisa
