Hi Mary jo,

I met you a couple of times taking your classes when you came to AZ. (at the Glendale thing). I got out of rubber stamping and altered arts for a few years and want to take it up again. My question is, didn't you do a book that had a lot of projects done with Omni gel? I could almost swear it was you but looking through my book of yours i don't see it covered. Is it in a different book you did? Or last maybe it wasn't you. and if not i am so so sorry. I could of just sworn it was. Do you still come to AZ? I dont know if they still have that convention in the summer or not. Thanks for any help you have!
I'm glad i found your blog. Now I can see what you are up to :)! My email is abetzolt@mac.com
thanks again,

Hey Mary Jo,
It was so awesome seeing you at the Rhinebeck NY show again this year. I was the woman chatting you up towards the end of the show on Sat. about various SB celebs. OHH and how much you inspire me.
I totally forgot to ask you about the micro glaze which you demo'd last year. Can you remind me wht to do with this so I can use it LOL.
Thanks so much and I hope it was a good show.

Yes I did do a book using Omni Gel ....Vintage Greeting Cards from Northlightbooks,
Since that book an even better product came along Tranz-it Gel From JudiKins, works in the same way as Omni with better results on more surfaces!

Thanks for visiting

I love Chris Cozen's use of nature in her pieces so I am totally thrilled to have received this wonderful POD stencil set from Artist Cellar . BTW Chris's new book with Julie Pritchard is incredible. This coming June, Chris will be teaching at  Spokane Art Supply  and I cannot wait to see how she uses these stencils! When I get a new stencil I like to see how they look just outlined in black so that is always my first step. Once I saw this I knew I wanted to draw them in pencil in mass. Come back and see this as a full page in my doodling journal later this week. I use a lot of figures and I make my own templates sometimes  using magazine cutout and them painting them with plain acrylic on both sides then coating them with matte medium and then  Micro Glaze . This makes them tough like vinyl and the Micro Glaze keeps them from sticking together. If I end up loving the image I cut out a REAL stencil from acetate. These two look kind of beat up but they ...

Pages with Distress Oxides and Crayons

So last week Tim ( http://timholtz.com/tim-holtz-products/ ) sent me a bunch of Distress Oxide pads. I was curious and wondered how they were going to stack up against all the old pads I had loved for like more than 20 years. Well I was very pleasantly surprised and pleased. The colors are great and the blendabilty was excellent! This is a fusion ink which has properties of dye and pigment. I have always loved that the color line of all Distress products has a good array of neutrals which many stamp pad lines do not have. When I put the first color down I thought they felt a little dry but I was working on Mixed Media Strathmore paper so any pads would feel dry. I put a couple more colors down and pulled out the awesome Distress Sprayer. I really like this Sprayer!!!!! It's very easy to use and that little on/off button makes it great for travel. Once I started spraying I could see what the fuss is all about. The colors blended really well ...
