GIVEAWAY ALERT! Each month, I will give away one of the featured stencils to one lucky commenter. Comments for the giveaway will close on Sunday at 9AM EST, and the winner will be posted in this post by Monday morning at 9AM EST, so make sure to check back!

This week - a look back at the Bubble Girl Stencil Test Drive. Here's a peek at my project from that Test Drive and the Bubbles Girl stencil itself.

I also love using the bubbles without using the girl - like I did in this post about using parts of stencils.

Here are the amazing projects from the artists on that original test drive. Click the names below the images to go to the original blog posts. The tutorials are fantastic.

Picasso Inspiration at Creative Jumpstart 2016

Creative Jumpstart just ended and while I'm sad, I'm also a bit relieved. Why? Because I LOVED IT SO MUCH that I couldn't seem to focus on anything else! Ha! Every online class or challenge should grab you the way #cjs16 grabbed me!

Our second to last Master Artist was Pablo Picasso. WOW - so much inspiration from one person. Here are the pieces I created.

To see more of my work from Creative Jumpstart, click here. For more about my Picasso-inspired creations, check out my Instagram feed or search the hashtag #cjs16 on Facebook to see my and many other artists' works.

Speaking of Master Artist inspiration -

my Chagall inspired ceramic ware is now available online. There are two lines; one called "Beloved," perfect for weddings, anniversaries, and Valentine's Day, and the other is a new "Woman of Valor" line, perfect for the women in your life!

I hope you'll check them out! Our last Master Artist was Anselm Kiefer. Next Tuesday, I will show you step out photos of how I translated his emotional work.
