I haven't posted for a while. I know I am a bad blogger but there are reasons for that! I had visitors and more visitors, but today I am going to post no matter what!
So what is on my work desk? Donna!
Yes my lovely friend has been here with her lovely boy Niall (isn't that a romantic photo)
and we have been travelling, eating good food
having good laughs aaaaaand CRAFTING!!!!!!!
So what have we done craftwise....
here is the desk of last night......
what we did was we made a template (texture board) out of modeling paste, stencils and we used it on the gelli plate and here are the fantastic results..... texture plate..
and here are our mono prints which look very layered because of the way they were printed - there is a new video about this technique which was made by the Gelli plate company - do have a look!
Now here is something Donna has been working on for her collabor - art (using my stamps - she did clean them) sitting here in excrutiating pain because she managed to throw herself down a flight of stairs the very day she arrived and sprain her ankle ! Have you heard the one about nurses and doctors being the worst patients??? I will say no more.... he, he....
I have also recieved 2 lovely ATCs from Sam from Hettiecraft
Thats all folks - there will be more photos in the next few days but for now I think this is more then enough!
Lots of hugs and love from
Cardarian and Donna
How lovely to have Donna there, looks like you have been having fun, though not sure sprained ankles are a good way to start a holiday. Wish Donna well from me! Take care Zo xx 75

You have been a busy lady, and crafting with your visitor too. Sorry to hear about her fall though. I hope she soon recovers fully. Thank you for your visit this week and your kind words. Have a good week. xx Maggie
ReplyDeleteAnkle injuries can be so painful and cause trouble afterwards, as I know from experience. I do hope your friend recovers completely:)
ReplyDeleteYou have been having fun with your printing. You have some wonderful work on show.
Happy experimenting!
