Crafting at Ally Pally - always a good day out

Just got home from a fab day stalking the Paperartsy stand at Ally Pally - a great day out as always and wonderful to catch up with people- though sadly not as many as normal..

straight to Paperartsy of course...
Leanda and Emma on demo duty

 Leandra using some fabulous Donna Downey stencils

 the water extraction technique from Seth's workshop, between us we remembered what we were doing!

 Leandra adding watered down paint to her background

 had a quick wander, Alison (Craftytrog) doing a make and take for That's Crafty

 Kim Dellow doing make and takes for Paperartsy..

 Lucy came to do some infusion demos for Paperartsy while Leandra had a break

 Emma was rocking the backgrounds, she made loads!

 then moved into her journal

 some great infusion work here too

 Lauren on make and take duty at That's Crafty

 Met Chris (Pearshapedchris) a WOYWWer who was down in London for a few days and popped along.  Will be meeting her again at Port Sunny in another couple of weeks!

 a trio of Franich's!!

 Leandra back demoing, the new Fresco's over a crazing gel (Tim's)

 Alison came over and was persuaded to get painty again with a gelli plate demo

so much so that I bought a small one!

 these action shots are really to remind me what to do....

 a quick all round shot, it was nearly closing time so getting empty!

not quite sure what was happening here...

 some of Alison's gelli tags

 and Leandra did a rusting powder demo - we had to search high and low for some vinegar to get this going.. the light doesn't help but it was working by the time we fiished!

 and of course, we decamped to the bar for a swift drink after the show!
Mark, Emma and Leandra, and I've cut off  the other Emma..

 here she is, with Kim and Lauren

 and Alison and Courtney.

and some shopping... not much today, I was very good - you didn't believe I could do it!
Mainly stencils
