WOYWW 796

 Well here we are, Wednesday again and time for WOYWW , desk sharing day.  Head to Sarah's for the way to join in

My new goodies finally turned up on Thursday 

the paints, stencils and transaparencies are the bought goodies, the Dina chipboard shapes a friend sent me as she can't remember why she bought them and wouldn't use them.



I've done diddly-squat with any of them so far.


I made a right mess of a journal page - it's gone through about 3 transformations so far 

I might use one of the chipboard shapes on top if I don't just paint it all black and start again!




Kim and I had a good visit to Kew last weekend 
we found Goldie, the golden pheasant, who moves fast, hence my blurry shots!  but what colours!! 

making the most of the Marc Quinn sculptures as they're only at Kew for another month
the waterlily house was full of beauty.
Hopefully there will be sun this weekend 



thanks for looking, I'll come visit your work spaces soon

Now that's what I call a result (as well as excellent viewing)!!

Goldie is beautiful, we have a rare all white one living in the adjoining fields, pure white apart from the red comb, problem is word spread and we are inundated with twitchers.

I think a painted chipboard shape on that page would be perfect Helen! Cool goodies. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah

There are some projects worth carrying on with and others where you give up and only you can decide! Love the new stash and those chipboard shapes will be useful for all sorts of things. Speedy Goldie, you did well to catch him!!

Tell me about it, I often do the same with journal pages, although I like this one of yours and yes one of those chipboard shapes would look good. Oh my Goldie is indeed very vibrant and hoping you get some sunshine this weekend. Hugs BJ#9

Nice to see Goldie again, looks like you need your camera on a sports setting. I know you will win over on that journal page and come up with something great. Sometimes it's better to walk away for a while or in my case at least a year Lol! Have a great woyww. Hugs Angela x12x

OMG but Goldie is spectacular, even as a blur. Love that page, such an interesting base for whatever you choose to add. And the new neon gloss sprays look fabulous, bet my originals are all dried up and clogged by now...oh well.
Happy desk-hop day!

Goldie is gorgeous - so much so that I thought she was not real.
Love all the new goodies - love the diddly squat! Why not leave the page as is and treat it as a background putting a shape on top as you suggested.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx

Always exciting to get new supplies! You have a lot to play with! I'm sure you can rescue that journal page, even if you just paint over it and start again, I do that a lot! The bird is so beautiful, that would make a great journal page, using his colours! Have a wonderful week, Lindart #15
