There has been and will be lots of gallivanting this week. Yesterday I was up in Stockport at the monthly JJAMMMA (Junk Journals and Mindful Mixed Media Art) meet up and on Friday, Eva and I will be heading off 'oop North' for the Clarity Open Day at Leyburn, N. Yorkshire on Saturday. I had to leave the meet up early, as it so happened that #1 son and his girlfriend were arriving back at Manchester airport yesterday afternoon and I was able to combine catching up with friends with the airport run.
My desk this week shows the new technique that I was shown by a first time meeter-upper, Tom, at the JJAMMMA get together. It is done with a gel plate. Dye based ink is spread over the plate with a brayer and then Brushos mixed with water are spattered on top. A print is then taken. It's a brilliant technique and you can never predict exactly what you will get. This was my attempt and I will certainly be playing some more. Thanks Tom!
As it was also our fortnightly get together, I grabbed a shot of the other side of the desk yesterday morning. Eva was playing with her new Floral Alphabet stamps from Clarity.
So why am I sharing a view of my desk. It is of course to join in over at The Stamping Ground with Julia and the rest of the WOYWW crew. Please feel free to visit desks or even join in yourself.
No progress on the shed this week. It has simply been too wet to get anything done since #3 son got over the lurgy. Maybe next week...
