WOYWW 834

 I can't believe it is Wednesday again already or that I am back at work after my few days off - they go so fast! But, Wednesday it is and time for WOYWW with Sarah.  

I had an anniversary atc from Julia (thank you! which I have forgotten to photograph...)  

I've been busy playing in the ledger journal 

this was based on a Dina supporter FB live 

the background for once, is Tim Holtz sprays, everything else is Dina's, tags, collage tissue, transparencies and paints 

this was trying to rescue the layer underneath which I didn't like... not totally sure about the current state this is in, other than the white gesso'd swirl over the green (Dina's gloss in Malachite and brushed out)  I do like how the white has picked up the colour.  

and this one a bit of fun - not finished yet 

blobs of various gloss colours, and the two pages squished together (butterfly prints as kids, anyone remember?!)  

I had several trips to Kew last week as some of you saw on FB, (I've linked the first one of the extra trips) 

poppies at Kew

and the ceramic poppies at  the Tower of London 

I even got to see a titan arum almost opened at Kew !  

thanks for looking - I can't quite believe it is nearly June... I mean, come on, where has the year gone? 

Happy WOYWW!  

WOYWW 730

 Good morning deskers,  tis Wednesday once more, and time to share our crafty spaces... join us at the Stamping-Ground   (Julia, your atc hasn't turned up in case you think I'm being rude not acknowledging it!  ) 

My space this week is somewhat uninspiring...all I have is some new stencils to share,  that came at the weekend.

and some new collage tissue.   

I haven't even taken them out of the packets to look at them but the tissue which is all alphabet based, is sure to be a favourite!

I had a couple of days out  over the Bank Holiday weekend,  Kew of course on Saturday  -  so much colour now, and it was delightful..  

carnivorous plants in the sunshine (through windows)

and the laburnum arch

then on Monday I went to the Tower of London - partly to see the re-imagined display of the Crown Jewels (no photography allowed)  but mainly to see the Moat and this year's Superbloom - wildflowers and that really did not disappoint!   I did put a post  on Facebook but managed to delete the link to the blog  - oops! (I have edited it since) 

they are intending to keep this going in the moat and they are learning about wildflower development , there were so many poppies, and loads of cornflowers.

thanks for visiting, I'll try and have some actual crafting to share next week!
