Miss Bird............

Did you guess?? Well its a bird!! After the girls had all gone on Saturday Sarah let loose on the wall in the workshop and this was the result. I love her, she is painted using Dabber Paints and baby wipes. Sarah acheived the texture on her by adding stamped areas in contrasting paint colours. We both agree that the swirl stamp she used on the wings (Tim Holtz Take Flight set) looks just like feathers............The image is a copy of the Hero Arts bird from the Birds and Branches set, which Sarah had used on the cover of her journal. I just love it, thanks Sarah.

Decisions, Decisions..............

Sort of recovered now, except poor Sarah who had to drive home in the rain............but she got there safely.

So here she is, a table full of stuff to get set up and she was not too sure where to start, and then I gave her a pile of stamps, new stamps, to use and she went to pieces LOL.......so she took the photo of them.

There is a bit of history to the building we have as our studio, well half it anyhow. The area you can see behind Sarah with the little windows, which is our kitchen area, was in fact a garden shed in its former life. The building its attached to was a house and this was the outhouse, shed and due to the age of it and the roof, its now listed so when they wanted to build the shop onto it they had to preserve the 'shed'. I love it, its so quirky.

Tomorrow I will post photos of the pages and journals so you can see what wonderful work they got up to.

and what do you think this is...........

Moodling comes to town...........

Its very late after a busy day but we thought you might like a sneak peek of todays workshop, or rather what these lovely ladies did to my new studio!! Have you ever seen a table so full of 'stuff'? There was dabber painting and splatting (including my wall, Kathy, yes Sarah dobbed you in), ink spraying and stamping going on all at the same time amazingly enough. Everybody ended with a bound journal and I will blog more of the photo's tomorrow as Sarah is falling asleep on my sofa and she needs putting to bed right now. Oh and watch this space to see what went on after they all went home and Sarah was left alone in the studio...................
