Hello, deskers, welcome to October...and welcome to WOYWW
on the left I added some more neon gloss, from the dropper - dripping blobs this time. added some stencilled paint (sky) and on the right page I used the neon paint through a stencil - it's a much more subtle neon over the white gesso
I seem to have picked purple for my Kew highlights this time!
this is the centrepiece of the new autumn feature "Queer Nature" in the Temperate House
some collage tissue pieces and a couple of stamped figures.
I fully intended to have added a quote to the left page to finish it, but Sunday was taken up watching the Ryder Cup golf (go Europe) and ... that was it.
Saturday was the last "early" at Kew, at 8am - I shall miss the fabulous light at that time but not the 5am alarm time.
Kim had her operation to pin her ankle finally on Friday and was allowed home on Tuesday - awaiting some aids to help at home whilst she recovers - crutches (although i hope they sent her home with one pair) and a grab rail for the loo, etc
Thanks for looking, and I'll catch your desk soon,
Happy WOYWW

Love the latest journal pages Helen and how different the neon looks on the two. Enjoy your longer lie in on Saturday. Best wishes to Kim when you see her again. Stay safe and Happy WoYWW. Sarah #?
Oh my goodness the purple flower is exquisite especially with the dew on it, I wonder if I could paint that? The neon pages are super, I really must make some more tissue stamped collage paper, so useful. BJ#?
I liked the neon through the stencil best. LOVE the tissue.
Sorry I haven't made it to Kew this week. I hope Kim gets better soon. No number yet. Julia must be really tired.
Love the neon, still not sold on the droppers, but boy howdy - you really made them work!
Happy desk-hop day!

Loving the neon colours. The droppers look really useful. I have some but can't think that I've ever used them but you've given me an idea. Loving the colours on the photographs too and hope Kim is getting on okay. Have a lovely week and a happy woyww. Hugs, Angela x1x
Pleased to read that Kim is pinned and home, doesn't sound at all like a nice thing to have to undergo, specially if she then needs extra support at home, I wish her well in her recovery. I quite like the Queer Nature centrepiece, colours are lovely aren't they, although they are to me, more in touch with summer than Autumn. But I guess that's the queer part, huh. I'm loving the neons, and the fact that you can actually use them in a more subtle way over white if you'd like to. They're quite invigorating aren't they. Do you use a brush when stencilling with them?
Beautiful pages but ooh that centrepiece - love the colours, it sort of looks like painted copper. Hope Kim recovers quickly, sounds horrible. Bet Kew looks lovely still, Autumn seems to be holding off around here. Which is as it should be as in my book September is still Summer. (I have this argument with my hubby every year!!) Looks like October is giving it a go as well as all the traditional summer months failed miserably this year. Have a good week, love n hugs, Cindy xx #14
Loving the Neon, something I've not worked with. Lots of great photos and I love that Queer Nature...quite unusual. Have a good weekend
Lovely neon journal pages, Helen. I missed the link for this week’s Kew so I used last week’s post to get to it.
Beautiful photos full of autumn colour. I loved the Queer nature display and the water lilies.
Take care and happy WOYWW

Love the pages
Enjoy your week

The golf was exciting wasn’t it?! The Yanks had been a bit obnoxious prior to the tournament so I was quietly pleased that Europe gave them a drubbing!! Love the colours from Kew, I’m really into purples at the moment so enjoyed your beautiful photos xx
Hugs LLJ 10 xx
Love the colour of that daisy! Great journal pages. I can understand you not missing that early start! Happy WOYWW. Angela #9
Ooh yes the purple Kew theme is fab. That pale lilac daisy is lovely. Well done on your journal page endeavours - great work. Glad Kim is "on the mend" literally. Hugs. xx Jo
Wonderful neon pages! Neons are not colours I have ever worked with before, I don't think I even have any. Purple is my favourite colour, so your purple flowers are lovely! I really like that purple daisy! Here's hoping that Kim heals quickly! Have a great week, Lindart #19
I have a suitable book, or even books...but still haven't splashed out with any paint yet...I guess the first slattered is the hardest! (Or maybe choosing what colour to start with!) Yours look great! Late again this week, the days just fly by! Have a great week, Happy Late WOYWW!? ((Lyn))#20
