Paris Projects

 I am in Paris for a few days with the Y8 school trip so thought I would take the opportunity to share some of my Paris themed projects today.  As always links to the original projects are below each photo.

A chic tag (see HERE).

WOYWW 839/59: Paris

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch. 


My desk is at the youth hostel in Paris where we arrived yesterday evening after a 13 hour coach and ferry journey.  Just a quick post as we have two jam packed days ahead followed by the return journey on Friday.





One for Susan and Shaz.
July already - how did that happen?

I have deliberately prepared a few drawings ahead so as not to have to bring any supplies with me.  9 more working days until retirement now including today.

Hope to visit at the weekend time permitting.

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

#dailyart2025: Half Way Through

 Half way through 2025 already with the end of June.  Here are the second half of my #dailyart2025 drawings.  Completed in my Clarity Petite watercolour journal using Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer watercolour pencils.

You can never have too many!

Werder Bremen my German football team.
Parfait and mint tea.
Most recent visit was for Calamity Jane.
Just had solar panels installed.

Coincided with our 35th wedding anniversary.
Hope it's obvious.

Memories of The West Wing!
I prefer pickled onions!

I wouldn't mind one of these.
Hope the map is not too far out!

Through the Round Window Mini Make

I needed a quick project and once again turned to a background made at a recent workshop - this time with Barbara Gray, using alcohol inks on a gel plate to create landscapes.

July Calendar Page

 I was cutting it fine to complete my July page so decided to start with a background created at a recent workshop with Leonie Pujol using alcohol ink and a gel plate.

In The Garden Projects

Following up to Deb Wheeler's show on Clarity Social TV yesterday afternoon I thought I would share the projects created with some of the Linda Williams' In The Garden stamp sets.  Details of the project are linked below each photo.

Masking and repeating (see HERE).

Coffee and Tea Themed Projects

 I love these coffee, tea and cake themed stamps designed by Linda Williams for Clarity Crafts.  Here are some projects using them.  Links to each project are below each photo.

The masks are really useful (see HERE).
