I found a box of glass microscope slides when cleaning out the garage recently and put them to one side in my craft shed. I decided to get them out yesterday and see what I could do with alcohol inks on them. I also ended up with a lovely Yupo paper background. I am not sure what I am going to do with them yet, but enjoyed experimenting.
I don't think that I've ever enjoyed colouring in stamped images more than the two here. There is a third image in the set which I haven't worked on yet but I am looking forward to doing so. These are two of the stamps designed by Helen Hopkins 'aitch' for IndigoBlu: Guardian Angel and Luna & Owl. I am entering them into the Stamping Sensations September challenge based on the letter B. This is a stamping challenge so on the basis of Blonde with Bird and Blue angel with woodland Beasts, I am entering both images.
Hello and welcome to the first WOYWW of the new school year, prepared the day before as I now work on Wednesdays. I therefore won't be visiting any other desks until tomorrow; it will be all I can do to link up before work. To find out more about What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday, visit other desks or share your own, click HERE. This time next week the crop will have taken place and I'll no doubt have plenty of photos to share!
I had some goodies arrive on Monday; they were waiting for me when I got in from work. I took them with me to the four weekly JJAMMMA (Junk Journals and Mindful Mixed Media Art) meet up in Stockport to work with; they were designed by one of our members. If you pop back tomorrow, I'll show you what I have done with them so far.
No Eva on the other side of the desk as she was at an INSET day in school, so I have some guests instead.
Lou Withers was demonstrating some water colouring techniques to Chris, a new JJAMMMA meet up member.
Kaz was playing with some new pens creating an abstract picture.
On the way to the meet up, I called in at Middleport Pottery to see the Poppies Weeping Window on their last stop before going to their permanent home at the Imperial War Museum in London. I couldn't let the chance go by to see them as they are so close by.
Sorry to be so photo heavy. Happy WOYWW and see you at the crop if you're going.
I am ashamed to say that I totally forgot about my nephew's birthday in June, then forgot that I had forgotten. I decided to make him an unbirthday card rather than a belated one because he received it so late.
When I saw the current challenge over on Country View Challenges: Planes, Trains and Automobiles I knew exactly which stamp set I wanted to use. I have had it in my stash for ages and never used it; I felt it was about time to change that. My son has also recently bought himself a convertable, so I thought that he might like the tag to use as a bookmark.
The current challenge over on Tag Tuesday is Time / Clocks. I can never resist a tag challenge so here's my version.
