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

    Hi Helen, I am loving your pages they are just my sort of thing. Not looked at anything from Seth for ages which is crazy because I always loved his stuff. The photo with the holes could make an interesting start to a journal page too. Thanks for your visit to mine. Have a happy woyww, Angela x1x

    Hi Helen! I LOVE the pattern you created for the background of your page. That sculpture you photographed looks magnificent. And I love that regal heron too. Happy WOYWW!
