WOYWW161

Morning everyone
Wednesday mornings mean only one thing, time to share your desk with the world via Stamping Ground! So here is mine......at about 4am!
 After the weekend, I now have a journal almost full of vibrantly exciting backgrounds so I've made a start on one here.  Music on the go and stamps to play with! You can see some of my waterbrushes filled with the inks too. They are great for colouring in the details.
 The bird is looking rather "bald" at the moment so need to add something there......
 Some new stamps, I've wanted this alphabet for ages now so was really pleased to get it.
I also stamped a couple of these images onto card as I enjoyed making my mini canvas I thought I'd repeat it in my journal as I didn't keep the canvas.
So there you have it. My desk this week. Hopefully now that everything is a bit calmer I'll get to visit more of you.
Hope you all have a blessed and creative journey this week.

    That alphabet is scrumptious, must hunt a set down. So you are into zentangle as well.

    Can you believe that I completely missed the Dylusions Stamp section at the Craft Barn shop and I even went round TWICE! Your Timmy Alpha is rather cool as are all your journal pages. Hoping to work out how it is all done soon. Thanks for stopping by BJ#18

    Wow, Neil, wonderful, scrumptious, mouth-watering stuff on your desk this week! I've succumbed and ordered the whole set of Dilusions spray inks - decided I couldn't live without them!! I've never thought of putting ink in my water brushes - think I'll have to get another couple of sets for that!

    Sorry to hear you've gone down with a cold, and I hope you're over it soon as it's really miserable.

    Thanks for your quick visit to my blog, and for leaving a comment.

    Happy WOYWW,

    Hi Neil,

    I hope your cold is gone - funny, I've been sneezing but I think it's allergies (or smoke from the wildfires).

    I love that little girl stamp - love it on the text page with the black ink. I'll try that with the Eiffel Tower as I wasn't crazy about the pink......
