Gel Printing with Toilet Paper

I’m Carolyn Dube - a mixed media art adventurer who takes the intimidation out of supplies so that you can find freedom through creativity. Play with every color of the rainbow, avoid rules whenever possible, and let the little kid inside of you free through art.



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”.

Over the top! The patent for it shows over the top!!! Besides no creepy crawlies hiding under! I love your play for today! Dollar store TP here I

[deannamears]

This demo is definitely over the top!!!! As toilet paper should be!

[amyvetter]

over the top!! I've been known to turn the TP around at friends houses, if it is backwards.

Over the top. I’ve finally have my husband trained. The argument for over the top is made by the original engineering drawing by the inventor shows it coming over the top.

[BeckyTregear]

Precious toilet paper! And yes, over the top. I can't deal with it underneath 😂

[melodieisreal]

I definitely like it coming out from under the roll.

[Weasel]

Oh your husband in this case is very very right lol, mine doesn't care and puts it on the wrong way just to stir me up lol. Love the prints that you got thank you for sharing Carolyn.

Super fun. Btw if you ask any janitorial staff you will always get the over answer because it saves thousands of dollars over time for household and over the year for buildings. Thanks

Thanks for sharing. I usually use TP with an embossing folder and transfer the embossed or debossed pattern to the gel plate. Works great! The empty rolls make nice ring, leaf and heart shapes.
And: Voting for "over the top". Any prints or patterns on the TP only go the right way when it is over the top. Otherwise you see the backside.

Most of the time the roll comes from the top so it could be folded really fancy like hotels do in a V to pull. However, in the house I am renting the roll comes off the stupid holder every time you pull it from the top. So where I live I put it coming from the bottom. Otherwise and my old house where I lived for 30 years, the top.  

I love your tip about shimmer paint over any I don't like, thanks Carolyn!

What a good idea, I’ll have to try will be lots of fun..I’m going to try decoupaging some toilet paper on top...afterwards...

Over the top, just like in the patent application

[karenhoffmann]

Over the top for convenience and sanitary reasons

[simonettagenova]

Always amusing and funny and lovable, darling😍

Over the top! If your roll is under, when the bathroom gets humid after a shower, the paper can stick to the wall. At least according to uncle john’s bathroom reader. But I also think it’s just easier to grab over the top without it ripping....
Thanks for the video👍🏻😬

Love those tp prints and neither over the top or from the bottom, I din't have a holder, it sits on the shelf. No battle here...

[cherylalikhani]

My roommate and I are both over the top.
I thought you were going to scrunch up a handful of TP.😆
You can wrap yarn, string, rubber bands, etc around the roll then roll it over the paint too.
