Lea commented on gaylespez's blog post My Inner Critic (Sardine Can Shrine challenge)"Wow! This is fab and I loved watching your video and hearing you speak about it. Now my inner critic is telling me that mine isn't good enough after looking at this LOL! Silly how we do that. Nice work and great meaning behind it.

gaylespez commented on gaylespez's blog post My Inner Critic (Sardine Can Shrine challenge)"Thanks Bronwyn! You are absolutely right in the fact that you would feel they are rejecting yourself also. For the first time I decided to submit my work for a spot in a very popular art store in the city and when I received the rejection note I…"

This is the Sardine Can Shrine Challenge. When I received the sardine can I hadn’t really decided what I wanted to create, but I knew I had a few months for something to inspire me.

Bronwyn Palmer commented on gaylespez's blog post My Inner Critic (Sardine Can Shrine challenge)"A lot of thought has obviously gone into this and I think we can all relate to the struggle with our inner critic. I have often thought it is because when we create we are putting something of ourselves into the work and presenting it to the world.…"

gaylespez replied to Diana's discussion Cloth Paper Scissors -- I'm Just Sayin'"I'm agreeing with all here also. I had been picking up a few here and there at the bookstore, finding only a few things to spark some interest and inspiration, so I grabbed a subscription digitally for a year and ended up not caring for it at…"

About me:
You can see my work here also: www.gaylegeorge.com
I am on facebook look me up, "gayle george" I am also looking to grow my list of wonderful friends.
I am also on etsy, "pezgirl.etsy.com" I have some stuff there but am growing it constantly as I improve on my art.
I am the youngest of 9 siblings, each one of them is also creative in different fields of crafts and art. It is great having a large family so much to keep you occupied.
I have always done something in the craft area while growing up, I get my inspiration from other artist and from my soundings. I really love to try everything at least once and then grow from there. This past year I was laid off from my job of 14 years and so I found I had time on my hands, I began to focus again on my art I have found I have grown a lot and wouldn't have been able to get this deep if I was still working so I have been fortunate to be able to experience this.
I look forward to hearing from everyone and hope to only continue to grow even more through this connection!
Drop me a line if you want.

Hi all,
Well here it is my attempt at drawing on plexiglass then painting. Its on a 4x6 size, it was an old picture frame I had hanging around here. I went along with the skeleton theme, I really liked the one Gary had done in his first lesson. I had played with plexi a while back and did a few drawings on them but I did all the work on the back side of the plexi. This time I did the black ink on the front and then painted on back. My question is with the black permenant…

Hi all,
I finally got my favorite new piece of art today in the "snail mail" I received one of Gary's halloween treats. And it is fantastic. Thank you so much Gary!

I will post a picture so I can share it with all.

Hello all,
Its been a while since I have been on. I have been working on some things, I put some new pictures on my page. I have been inspired by all here reading up on blogs and comments and just wanted to show some of the stuff that came from it.
I was trying to work on a toy project and I had this paper mache pig here so I went with that. I used an old airplane mechanic book to stick all over the pig, then I had inherited some of my dads left over wood stuff and in it was… Continue

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIc02QBihJQ&feature=share&list=UUM6N5AOYoyg6eAkbcDWpNFg

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
