Using a Gel Print to Make a Necklace...with a Pool Noodle

Pool noodles are for more than just fun in the pool. They're great for making necklaces with gel prints! The gel print I'm using in the video was created using a technique from one of the bonus lessons inside the workshop, Gel Printing with PanPastels https://acolorfuljourney.com/gel-prin...

The necklace will be glued, sealed with a glossy finish, and hardened all thanks to transparent Universal Medium by Powertex https://powertexproductsusa.com/

Transparent Universal Medium comes in three sizes. I'm using the 1 liter size in the video. https://powertexproductsusa.com/colle...

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”.
