About Me

woyww 247


Its Wednesday and I hope you have joined me from the WOYWW site here


On my desk today the fruits of a wonderful weekend retreat with Clarity  I attended the Clarity Stamp retreat in Perth run by the inspirational Pauline Steven (Clarity's  North Tutor)  What an exiting and worthwhile two days 10 till 4 each day with a lunch break (on the run because no one really wanted to stop for more time than it took to swallow a wee bit the lovely buffet lunch). So a full 12 hours crafting learning such techniques as Jacobs Coat, Bouncing Brayer, Reflective stamping, Masking to stamp, Stamping and fabric painting on a cotton bag and how to make and decorate a gift bag from a plain envelope. Since the retreat included dinner and  overnight accommodation the craft chatter went on into the evening.   If you pop back over the next few days I hope to show more pictures and share more of the weekend with you. My head is still buzzing with ideas

Thanks for popping over to my desk today, please leave a message

    After a disastrous week and weekend, I'm finally able to stick my head above water long enough to return your visit from last Wednesday. Sounds like you had a great time at the class. Never heard of some of those techniques, though.

    I love all the inspiration you come away with. Sometimes too much to take in... so you have to go back, right? LOL Creative Blessings! Kelly #76
