Apologies for not being around much but I am not very well at the moment - not even well enough to craft!!
Here is how my desk is looking today
I also have pics from a workshop which I did with the AMAZING Hels Sheridan at The Stamp Attic .
The workshop was a Distress Masterclass and it was fabulous. Here are some of my samples:
There were 15 techniques in total and we bound them into a fab little technique book!
If you want to have a nosey at other desks around the world, pop over to The Stamping Ground for more info!
Also, I am having a clearout on Ebay - check out the post below for more details.
Thanks for looking.
Lovely stuff on your desk - great project yu did with Hels.
ReplyDeleteSorry you are not well, hope you are soon feeling better.

Miriam, Can you tell me if there is a mainline railway station near to the Stamp Attic. I stay in Scotland, but would love to do a class like the one you have been to. Maybe you could e-mail me at wisdombears.39@sky.com. Hugs Rita xx

Hi Miriam, Sorry to hear that you have not been well, I can sympathise with you, but hope you are soon back to full health, hope it is not work, I worked for over 40 years in HR and I understand the pressures. Anyway, Hels' classes are amazing aren't they? I love the way she teaches and she is so much fun too. Love what you produced and what a great idea to keep a techniques book too. Crafty hugs, Anne x #43

ReplyDeleteGreat technique tag book and hope you feel better soon. You are so right about not being able to find a craft shop in Sydney they are all closing down and going online. We are only left with snooty art shops run by teenagers and I have enough of them at home!.

I love the idea of binding your tags. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteI do hope you are feeling better soon, it's not fair when you cant craft when sick. Love those flowers you have colored, what sort of technique did you do on them? I am sure the photo did not do them justice.

The stamp is a Studio 490 stamp which I have coloured using distress markers using the watercolouring technique. They blend and tone so well!!
DeleteThat is a neat little guide book to distressing that you made there. That's a great idea for a class and what a great project to bring home from it. Love your flowers in your first photo. They look so spring-like and happy. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you aren't feeling well; hope you are better soon. Your flowers are very pretty and how handy to have the tag book to remind you of the techniques from your class. Happy WOYWW from Laura #126 (Thanks for popping over to visit already.)
