WOYWW 871/91: Upping the Rows

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. 

Sorry to hear that Neet has been back in hospital.  Wishing her well and that she is back home again soon.

My desk shows some of the stamps that Barbara Gray is bringing to Hobby Maker TV today.  I have really enjoyed playing with them and ordered the remaining Elements sets as soon as they became available.
I have just moved up from 4 rows to 6 rows a day, so my jumper is really starting to come on.  Nearly finished the increasing.
Lips
This was the first time I had to use a non Clarity item - the lips are by Visible Image - everything else is Clarity.
Delicious

Dangle


Vinyl


Raven


Carousel


Grounded
For this one I used one of the stamps from Timestamp Creations (made by Clarity).

I had a great afternoon rehearsing with the u3a recorders in Lichfield yesterday.  We were also sorting the logistics of going up to York for the day to play at the u3a national festival at the beginning of July.  I have the monthly SRP (Society of Recorder Players) meeting on Saturday too - so a most musical week.  Just had my new allocation for sample making too so plenty of crafting to be done.
Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.  I will be doing the rounds on Friday as usual.

Floral Swirls and Rosie Doodles Sampler Thank You Card

For my first sample using the A4 sampler of the Floral Swirls and Rosie Doodles stamps from Clarity Crafts, I worked on a background that I had created at the 2025 summer retreats.  This dictated the colours that I chose.

February ATC - Baby

The prompt for the Clarity Mini Makes and ATCs swap for February is Baby, and I once again decided to use some of my alcohol ink backgrounds made with a gel press in a workshop with Barbara Gray.

February Journal Page

 For my February Journal page in my Clarity Crafts Journal, I started with a background that my sister-in-law had created on watercolour card with watercolours and salt.  This is the final result.

Rainbow Folk Art

For my final sample with the new Folk Art stamps from Clarity Crafts, I went with my favourite rainbow colours - this time using Archival inks - and used a selection of them on a small card (5" x 5").
