A design is a design, no matter its origin. Altho tomorrow's 3 new releases were inspired by kelp formations, I use them with all colors -- not just blue and green.
I suggest you try anything and everything! Don't worry about "outcome!" Perfection would be boring if it were attainable! Besides, if you don't like your first print -- or second or third -- you can always print or collage over it. Everything is a learning experience and nothing is wasted. The overall goal is to have fun! When you're having fun, you automatically create your best art.

| Above: The new kelp-inspired 6" x 6" design (cut free from its outer square frame) was used on the far left; 2 scissor-customized parts of the new 9" x 12" design have been likewise cut free and added in the center and on the right, forming one image that to my eye flows across the page with a visual "action" like the rolling along of tumbleweeds. Step-by-step photos showing this piece, start-to-finish, will be posted here in one of the 7 or so daily posts to follow tomorrow's release. |

| Above: The new 9" x 12" kelp-inspired design has been used with opaque green-white acrylics over a background I'd created on foil giftwrap paper using 9" x 12" Boxed Vines L247. (The blue dots are collage.) |
 |
| Above: The new 4" x 4" kelp-based design has been scissor-altered (removed from its square outer frame), then used to make a trail of prints across an earlier print. The opaque red acrylic covers most of the background but lets glimpses of it peek through. To my eye, this kind of subtle complexity enriches any art. |

| Above: The new kelp-inspired 6" x 6" design (cut free from its outer square frame) was used with light blue opaque acrylic paint on paper previously printed with one of my four Abstract Composition Backbones Masks. After that blue print had dried, I cut it out and used it as a collage element on marbled paper I'd purchased. The colors go well together as a happy accident! |
Tomorrow all three of the new kelp-inspired designs will be released. They will show up here, with links to take you to their page at StencilGirlProducts.com.
On this blog, I'll be posting daily ideas for ways to use these new releases. Daily posts will last for a week and several more days beyond.
