WOYWW 897

 Happy WOYWW all. Time to meet again at Sarah's for our weekly desk share... 

I was watching YouTube at the weekend and saw a video from Alison Bomber (Paperartsy designer) which really spoke to me 

she made a whole series of "clusters" to use in projects.

I was inspired to have a go and made just one for a journal page 

I used some of her new stamp designs and scraps plus a Tim Holtz photomatcic image.

I was going to do more but the floor was hot and uncomfortable and I gave up!

Kew was another hot visit - though this weekend is likely to be more so - I am ready for autumn now but it seems a shame to wish time away!  

we enjoyed watching the swans at the lake

and some colour in the evolution garden 

I am hoping to see the eclipse this evening although I don't have eclipse glasses so will have to be careful - I remember the last one was a disaster as it was too cloudy to see anything.  

Wishing you a happy WOYWW and try to stay cool!  

WOYWW 896

 Hello again deskers.  I hope you are well.  It's another Wednesday so WOYWW time again. 

Had a play with the new Seth Apter stamps at the weekend. I brayered some paint on a sheet of cartridge paper and randomly stamped several of the stamps from both the new sets in toning inks (mixture of archival and versafine clair) 

I got carried away so not many in progress pics

I stamped some of the words on spare paper to mount 

the paper was slightly smaller than the journal page so I painted a border in Cocoa Dina Wakley paint although it doesn't show up very well 

close up to show a bit of the stamping. 

I knew I'd have fun with these sets. 

Saturday of course was Kew day and another hot one

it was a Henry day 

looking for shadows and holes!  

and a bit later we saw the heron in the shallows of the lake looking for fish

Put the kettle on, I'll be there in a jiffy.  Happy WOYWW
