WOYWW

Wow its January already! I for one can't believe how fast 2012 has flown. Feel like I blinked and missed it!

On my desk today are a few of the ahem good ones of my first attempts at mono printing with a gelli plate. I see great possabilities in this little plate.

Happy WOYWW!

Had a few people asking where I got my plate from in the UK, You can purchase one HERE from the lovely Wendy at the Stamp Attic.

Artful Readers club

My lovely friend Darcy is running an artful readers club this year. For full details and how to join in please go visit her wonderful blog, if you don't want to join in go visit anyway she is amazing!

The idea is to choose 12 books you have and plan to read one book a month, at the end of the month you need to write a small review, nothing major could be 5 words could be 500 and make a piece of art reflecting on the book you have read then post it on your blog and link up to Darcy's so we can all have a look.

My books are

Shelfari: Book reviews on your book blog

WOYWW

Good morning lovely WOYWWers! I haven't posted for a while I have been so busy I have not had chance to breathe lately! Today I have made extra effort and took an authentic snap today of what's on my desk, instead of my usual last night LOL So here we go, don't blink you might miss it!

Indigoblu's Kay gave me these lovely reindeer as a gift to decorate for myself not for TV so I have made my plan and started my idea, first since they are wood I painted them with a gesso primer and then added my colour which is in this case 2 thick coats of quinacridone violet. I plan to use the stamp pictured along the bum of them and mega flake them. I haven't chosen the colour of the mega flake yet, think I will do a couple of test pieces on acetate to make sure it looks right. Soon as they are finished they are going on my mantle as part of my Christmas décor.

I have a giveaway over on the indigoblu blog that ends on Friday be sure to add your name!

Giveaway over at IndigoBlu

Just a heads up we have the start of a few giveaway's over on the IndigoBlu blog. Be sure to add yourself to Mr Linky and spread the word so everyone knows!

Happy Movember WOYWW!

Gosh its been ages since I have had a chance to post to WOYWW! Busy busy times round here. I have been holding the fort on my own as everyone has been away apart from me. Crazy busy with design team stuff and helping out at craft shows too! Here is a card I made from my DT package and which was shown on telly on Saturday. This is a charity stamp plate by IndigoBlu supporting the Movember charity for prostrate cancer, a thing close to me as we lost my Granddad to it and it would have been his birthday in 2 days time.

You cant actually tell on the picture but the tash's have sparkle on them too.
