My desk is back to normal messiness - was trying out my pebeo paints for Sheena's paint fusion technique (inspired by Hettie's work here) - had them for a while and thought I would try a few daisies and some lavender. only problem was, I couldn't find the stamps (hope they didn't go with the scalpel cap lol!!), so it ended up being just paint sans fusion!
First attempt was too much blue under the white, so tried again, looked a little better. Still need to practice!
A few people have asked about a previous WOYWW post, and how I use tin cans, and how to cut them up, so I will try to post a tutorial later in the week, with some samples. In the meantime, Shaz in Oz has been playing with tin cans & alcohol inks and produced some wonderful results!
Will be back later to check out other crafty desks, so thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteLooking good, far far better than I could achieve so good on you!! Have a great week. Helen, 4
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers - no way could I tackle that :(
ReplyDeleteHugs, Di xx
Your flowers are so beautiful, there is no way i could do it either.
ReplyDeleteOh probably the house stole the scapel cap and stamps, it will give it back when you least expect it, but it could take time. Houses can be funny like that, hiding things on us all the time. Well that is our excuse and has been for years. LOL
Happy WOYWW

I may not have the artistic eye, but your flowers look beautiful to me. Thanks for stopping by...#92
ReplyDeleteHi debs
ReplyDeletelooks like your painting turned out just fine... even in your menopausal mind, LOL. even in my menopausal mind I dont have a duck on my desk it is a pot of glue.
it is a brilliant design because it stands upside down so the glue always comes straight out without having to shake it down... I have had comments about it before.. funny eh!

Am loving the lavender paintings, they look really realistic!! Keep it up, say I ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd my husband always accuses me of making him lose stuff after a good tidy up! It's not true, of course ;)

ReplyDeleteHi Debs! I found your message today in the spam! I never look there normally but you were right. And yes I would love to go for a cuppa. Your designs there with the paints look stunning! A friend of mine was looking for a lavender stamp for her wedding invites and couldn't find anything suitable.
ReplyDeleteHi Debs,
ReplyDeleteLove your flowers - even the pale blue one! Very nice. I hope you find the cap of the scalpel. Those things are dangerous!
Thanks for visiting me already!
Happy WOYWW

Your paint fusion is looking great, Debs. If you think your daisies are too blue, just put another layer of white on, it works a treat.
ReplyDeleteHave fun and Happy WOYWW
Hugs Lisax #83
That lavender and daisies card is so pretty and I think the colours are absolutely fine. It will depend what you use to mount it on, because that sometimes changes your perception of the colour of the image. Thank you for your visit and your kind comments. The cutting was a bit fiddly and fussy, but worth it. xx Maggie #16
ReplyDeleteWait, Debs, what? You PAINTED those beautiful flowers and leaves? They look like a store-made sheet of stickers! OMG, to have that kind of talent ~ what a blessing!! I hope you don't impale yourself on that scalpel. Be careful and have a wonderful week! Darnell #47
