Was there a week between last Wednesday and this? I really don't think so! It should be called Wizzday as it comes round so fast!
On Monday, my good friend Caz of Stampattack came to visit from Blackpool and brought me her new range of stamps... Steam Punk and Backgrounds. I do remember Monday! We discussed plans for the forthcoming shows and had a great playday making samples with the new stamps and generally having fun.
As you'll see by my state of play I still have WIP as I'm making a Steam Punk flag book to display the new images. Here are my first two almost completed tags, only 10 more to go!
Look at all that yummy new rubber!

If you are confused as to why I am exposing all my wonderful mess, it is actually a piece of fine art on display for the Biennial Art Fest.... NOT!!!! It's all part of What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday when we happy, mad, arty people show what we are getting up to and how we do it, as part of the delectable Julia's WOYWW at Stamping Ground. So pop over to see so many more if you enjoy snooping! This wonderful event happens every week but the following event is only every 2 years.........
Now some great News ....
JAPAN DAY 2010
This amazingly fabulous event celebrates the culture, arts and crafts of Japan.
It is to be held Sunday 17th October in the Midland Hotel in Manchester and is FREE.
I attended the last one and it was a fantastic day with so much to see and do. This year my friend Caz, of Stampattack, and I will exhibit, selling her Japanese range of stamps, papers and trimmings and will be doing make and takes. I am also demonstrating Mizuhiki Knots.
There will be something for everyone, including hands on experiences in ikebana, kimono dressing, sushi making, koy carp, woodblock printing, embroidery, calligraphy, fencing, armour, crafts and gifts, travel info., etc. A wonderful interesting and different day out.

I love steampunk and those stamps are AWESOMELY AWESOME. Obviously there is more rubber on your desk than I own. If I lived within a pond of you, I would go to that Japan Day event. It sounds SO interesting.
ReplyDeleteWendy says it's OK to think she's a piggy. She plans to hide out for a few weeks until the shame of it all wears off (grin). Do I really need to add my number?
Steampunk is very popular at the moment... maybe its a band-wagon I need to jump on too.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend
