The fun of building a playful neighborhood with stencils is there are no building codes or HOAs to worry about! Using the There Goes the Neighborhood collection of stencils and masks I've sharing 5 ways to play with them including creating abstract patterns with them on a gel plate, reverse stenciling (creating the positive and negative), swapping out windows and more! https://acolorfuljourney.com/?p=37077

You can see how I made the purple and blue lined print using a dryer vent from the hardware store in this video:   • A new gel printing tool from the hardware ...

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 YouTube 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”.
