WOYWW 794/14: A Great Time

Welcome to WOYWW, the weekly blog hop/sharing of desks that's been going for over 15 years thanks to Julia and now entrusted to me.  I have plenty to share on my desk this week. 

All the completed projects (bar one) that I made at the Clarity retreat last week.  I am particularly pleased with the scene created on a background of acrylic paint picked up off a brown mat.  I learnt so much and will be back again next year.
Barb and Paul kindly found time to pose for a photo at the start of day 2.
My latest #dailycollage2024 pages since the latest blog update.  I spent a happy afternoon sorting all my BOW-WOB papers and collage papers into 8"x 8" folders when I got home.  Now I just need 8 more to sort the designer papers and matching companion papers into too.  The shed isn't full yet lol.

Next week I will show you the Tilly Tea Dance goodies that I have more recently acquired.  Eva and I went to her exhibition at the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre yesterday and had a fabulous time.  I couldn't resist!

Stay safe and thanks for joining in with WOYWW.

Nice photo of Barbara and Paul, miss my hugs from him now I don't go to the craft shows as much.
My goodness, you did do a lot at the weekend retreat, good for you and always great to learn new techniques.

Glad you had a great time at the Clarity retreat, did you meet up with Maggie Cramer? I think she attended as she showed the same abstract landscape with the cottages that you’ve shared today. Hope she was ok and enjoyed too!

Wowzers!! That's a stunning collection of projects there Sarah. Before I read the post I thought the houses on the hills of fields was something you'd bought or had been sent to you from an art gallery! I'd love to know how you did it so I wonder if the technique has a name or if there is a lesson we can do from home at all? Enjoy the last few days of the hols, Lisa-Jane #12 prettymypage.co.uk

Lovely photo! And I love what you got up to at your retreat, sounds like fun, I wouldn't be brave enough to do it but will play at making some tags...given my a few ideas! ((Lyn)) #13

Wow! What a wonderful display of projects! I especially like the upper right scene (I don't know if this is the one you were talking about). There certainly were a lot of wonderful projects to learn! My favourite Daily Collage is Don't Worry, Be Happy! One of my favourite songs is Three Little Birds, by Bob Marley. If you don't know it, you should look it up! Have a wonderful week, Lindart #15
