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

  1. 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

  8. Great journal page, I love the colours. I love the sempervivium, but they don’t do well indoors. The chap at the garden centre advised bringing them in, in the winter, but they got very straggly, the last two years I have left them outside and they have been fine. I don’t know if they will have survived the heat. We have a small lake near the caravan and a heron is a regular visitor, but he flies off at the slightest disturbance which makes it tricky to get closer. I need a camouflage outfit! Hugs Angela #9
