Where oh where are the weeks going, missing last week due to a power break . Followed by getting ready to go to the NEC in Birmingham for the Hobbiecraft craft show etc, how manic Saturday was, but Sunday far better. 1st pic shows my new stash, some new Tim Holtz stuff which had been reduced, some Treasure Gold and gold leaf paint , stamps, new inktense pencils, plus lots more........
This is a journal page I made, using Pan Pastels at the show, really enjoyed my self. As you can see used some Dylusion stencils, stamp not sure who's there were, and some iridescent paste. Nice way to spend 3/4 hour.
Last a piece I'm working on. Base is Distress stains, then I have stamped my image plus another image onto tissue paper, cut out and added to highlight the pianist and music. Then I have used my new Inktense pencils to highlight. So that what is on my desk, if you want to see others go over to the lovely
Julia's blog. Have a good week everyone.
love all the stash you brought & can see your going to be busy making lots of fab things with it all. jill #56
ReplyDeleteWow, some serious shopping there! Enjoy it. I like the journal page very much too. No desk from me this week as I've a ton of prep to do. Just wanted to pop in and say Hi though.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful things you've got going on, and I'm sure your NEC stash will fire your inspiration even further in the next few weeks... So sorry I didn't know you'd be there - would've been fun to make another connection!

Hi francesca, good to see i'm not the only one that went mad at the NEC i bought soooo many things, some bargains in the holtz direction like you i couldnt resist the treasure gold i'm a sucker for a bit of bling ! X
ReplyDeleteFabulous lot of goodies on your desk, love the artwork too. Your DI holder looks like it's sagging from the strain of lots of heavy pads lol.

Great stash photo Francesca, did you get the last pot of Treasure Gold? I hunted for some but didn't find any. Thanks for taking me to the NEC and for a great weekend. :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had fun at the NEC and I love both your makes. Happy WOYWW

Beautiful pages you have created! OMG girl you are as bad as me in collecting stash! I love the intense pencils they blend so well with a water brush and they travel really well in my case so it is like having a set of paints without the bulk. Looks like a lot of Sir Tim stuff there too. Boy he has this old girl on the hook for sure. Love all his stuff. Quality. Have a great week and thanks for sharing and visiting my desk. I love comments! Vickie #62
ReplyDeleteNEC sounds like it was a great time and I love your art work! Happy Time with all of your new supplies.

Two beautiful pieces of art.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the first pic I guessed you'd been to the NEC!! Lucky you and what a haul! Love your journal page that you did. It's good inspiration for using the PPs. Thanks for sharing,

Nice haul! I don't know what the NEC is but if we had one near me I'm guessing I would dearly love to go. :) Your journal page is very lovely, all light and pastel, with the fun fish and all, so lovely! I don't know why I haven't gotten over to visit you yet, since you've already left me a comment...let's blame it on the time warp Julia mentioned, huh? ;) I experience that thing ALL the time! lol :) Deeyll #65
