Inspiring Artist Dina Wakley

Two months ago, I did an in-store event for the opening of Michaels in Manhattan.  At the end of the night, I of course bought some art supplies and while online,  I spotted my swallow stencil on the cover of Somerset Memories magazine. I immediately bought it and saw that it was the beautiful work of Dina Wakley.  Dina is an artist-extraordinaire, putting a cool edge on scrapbooking and journalling.  Some people hear the word scrapbooking and think it’s not for them, but if you like painting, collage, making cards, and expressing yourself, try to digest the word!  I am drawn to Dina’s palette choices and the splattery fun sprayed look to her work.  This look can be achieved with my Stencil1 Sprayers. I also like her layering of handwriting over the stencil designs, such a nice personal touch to say what you really want to say.  I am always inspired to see how far an artist can take a simple stencil image. Dina teaches her techniques all over the world and online so I urge you to check out her inspiring blog. Thanks Dina, we look forward to seeing all you create!
