Bye bye birdies....

Saying a little goodbye to my birdies this week as they are off to an exhibition at Snape Maltings. So I thought I would give them a little send off here, in case they sell and don't come home again!

and not forgetting the mice too..

 

Please see my exhibitions page for more details.

Vintage Butterflies

Here are some of the butterflies I have been making from collage papers, they are some of the party decorations and will clip onto the cake stands.

What's on your workdesk Wednesday? 209

Oh my.... Wednesday again...help!

Those of you with amazing memories will notice quite a few changes on my desk this week. There has been a whole revamp in order to fit in a nice little shelf unit I found in a charity shop which now holds my larger ink pads ( yes Ria, I know I said, no more charity shop purchases!)

Well you know how it goes, so two days of sorting and re-organising later, here we are.

On the mat you can see some butterflies I have been making, these will be in more detail on tomorrows post. Behind them are the two lovely ATC's I received. I have blogged about them individually here and here.

Oh and a progress update...I managed to get outside because the sun came, to paint my printers tray...so here it is a work in progress....

Now what shall I make to fill the spaces, they are not very deep? any ideas?

Have a great week everyone!

Nice post again!

I think I could get used to this....getting nice things in the post instead of bills and junk mail. I received another ATC in the post, again with stitched detail. I have to confess as an embroiderer I feel somewhat guilty that the one I sent off in swap was an inked and stamped one. (note to self....bad girl!).

Here is the lovely ATC made by Jo, Thank you so much.

 

ATC swap organised by Stamping Ground

So Lucky!

Not my work, but I just had to share this stunning hand crafted side table which was a gift to me, an early Birthday present. The craftsmanship is incredible. I am so lucky to have such amazing friends!

Something pretty in the post...

Here is the lovely ATC I received in the post yesterday through the WOYWW ATC swap......a totally random process yet I received an embroidery one, just perfect!

 

 

Thank you Sue

Simply die cuts

Sharing a couple of cards designs made simply with layered die cuts. I tend to cut them out of white card and colour them with pens or inks to suit the design.
