Getting Colorful in Somerset Studio!

Image collage with the cover of Somerset Studio magazine for August-October 2025 and two featured pieces by Gwen Lafleur.
I'm thrilled to have a new article available in the Spring 2026 issue of Somerset Studio Magazine! This month's challenge theme was color; a topic that I dove into with abandon. In the article I'm sharing five new pieces that pair nature themes with bold colors and dimensional embellishments and accents. And each focal point is framed with a gold resin frame to draw attention and make it pop! I've also added a few tips on gaining your own color confidence if you're looking to add more vibrant hues into your work. 

I had so much fun with this series and I hope you enjoy the read and photos (they always have such gorgeous photography!) as much as I enjoyed making these pieces.

Latest Rubber Stamps

Picture
I'm excited to share my latest three hand-drawn stamp sets designed by me for PaperArtsy. Check out the official release post on the PaperArtsy blog, which also includes a project tutorial!

This release is kind of about the birds. We have birds based on photos I took in the Galapagos Islands, Chinoiserie-style birds and trees, and also a lovely more tribal looking heron as part of a set of designs that were inspired by henna tattoos. 


They're available in the shop and from your favorite PaperArtsy stockists.

Newest Stencils with StencilGirl

Picture
It's been quite a while, but I'm excited to announce the release of 4 new hand-drawn stencils added to my collection with StencilGirl! 

These are all inspired by my last trip to India where I toured many blockprinting workshops across Madhya Pradesh and in Mumbai. I adore the birds, and the flowers and borders give tons of versatility. The range of supplies and techniques you can pair with these designs are endless!

Free Archived Demos

Looking for a bit of free inspiration? Check out these archived demos recorded on Facebook with some of my favorite independent shops.

In this demo I shared two ways to make your own seals using embossing powder and rubber stamps, plus a fun marbling effect and tips for incorporating seals into various projects.
"Stitching with Stamps," originally filmed live at Artistic Artifacts, shows how I use my rubber stamp designs as patterns for beaded embroidery pieces that you can use for a variety of projects.
See the demo I did for Stampers Grove where I shared techniques for masking with my EGL14 frame stamps and incorporated them into a handmade card. (Also perfect for tags, scrapbooking, art journaling, and more.)
