Hello everyone, I am back after a break. I have spent the last year learning about new crafts, poetry and writing prose so I am here at the time of the Autumn Equinox (UK) ready to share writing and craft with you.

Thank you for being here with me ❤️

I have been using just the top layer of each napkin for images and that leaves 2 plain ones so I experimented with Brusho inks and here is the first result….love the texture of napkins, like rice paper but a bit more crumpled….feels textured. Using the proper napkin glue by Pinflair….it is really excellent for the process.

Here are the latest napkins to creat backgrounds…thanks to John Lewis…looking forward to making sea shapes.. have a great day.

I thought it was time to do a thank you to the art suppliers and designers I have used in the blog so far ……

IndigoBlu, Dylusion paints: ink sprays and shimmer sprays, DarkRoom Door, Gelli Plate, Crafters Companion, Madhatters, Pink Ink paints, Pinflair for napkin glue, Napkin makers, Hunkydory, Distress and Distress Oxide inkpads by Tim Holtz and Ranger inks, Ranger Colorwash inksprays, Dylusion Journal, American Crafts paper pads and my garden.

Here is the journal for 3rd August 2023…..stencil, sprays and paints and stencil, paints and the Gelli plate Xx

Final making of today, looking toward Autumn with the IndigoBlu stencil and Dylusions paints and a Pink ink paint….thinking of Blair, would have been 32 years together, love you Xxx

Wow this is fun….one Gelli plate, one brayer, 3 acrylic paints, the lovely IndigoBlu stencil and white card…….so relaxing…..
