Pop on over to Julias place to get all the info on how to join in, and to start your many many hours of nosy-ness, looking at other peoples workdesks! Its a wonderful way to spend the day!
My desk today is back to the messy side...... this is the aftermath of an inking session!
So.....with that in mind I decided to start with inks. Inks that haven't been out of their drawer for months. My intention was just to play with the colours, and to see where that led....hence all the streaks of colour you can see on the paper I use under all my work! The result.....? Oh my are those inks colourful! Fabulous! So, what made those streaks? The squares I used for this......
Last weeks felt necklace didn't get any further......working on a ribbon flower one instead now......BUT I do have a nice beady pic to show you!
Lots of nearly finished Shambhala bracelets. (That spelling is intentional....law suits are being bandied about all over the place if you use the 'other' spelling......as the word I used is a Buddhist word meaning 'pure land', no way can it be copyrighted!) They all need the ends trimmed and glued, that will get done in one big job lot! Bright and cheerful!
Thanks for looking....
Love Trish xxxxxx
oh yeah we always look at the new stuff and forget to use the old, then the new becomes the old LOL. Love those bead bracelets!!

Lovethe card, and the beads although I haven't seen those before - by whatever name. I had a rich rust coloured Impress pad that I loved - pigment rich and very juicy - but for some reason it was the only one I had - Ranger (and Tim) taking over the world I suppose.
ReplyDeleteHope you stick to your intention to use up what you have, I always start out that way but then I've no willpower so end up buying everything going.

Big Ditto here...been looking at my dormant stash this week and giving myself a pep talk....great array of tones there - you are already set to go... It ain't how much you got, or the techniques but what you do with it all - so you will be just fine! Thanks for letting us look in and peek at your desk... Sarah at 7
ReplyDeleteThat card is fantastic - I LOVE the vibrant squares with black stamps. Definitely have a search through your stash if you're going to turn out beauties like that :)
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ ~58 xx
Thanks for visiting Trish:) Love the colours that you used...very retro and trendy at the moment. Love the beaded bracelets too.
ReplyDeleteLove your idea with the colour squares. Thanks for sharing & enjoy this WOYWW, I'm off to be nosey, & peek at some more desks! Zo x 83, well I was when last looked, it keeps changing!
ReplyDeleteNeat and quick idea on the cards. love the colors. I love your bracelets such vibrant beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteHi, wow, the colours are just lovely!! Great blog - I'm a new follower!! Thanks for visiting me too! Sarah #114
ReplyDeleteit is pouring rain here and a bit dreary...a perfect day to have your bright cards and bracelets cheer me up...such lovely bright, fun colours.
ReplyDeleteTrish, I love that card, that is such a simple but effective technique! I'm going to try it today. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSounds like lots of fun! I love your card! And the bracelets are great colors, too!
ReplyDeleteYour work IS bright and cheerful. Love a little of that!!

I love Impress pads (although I don't have quite as many as you) they are so vibrant and that's a fab card you've made with them.
ReplyDeleteI'd say those pads are still quite inky!! What wonderful, vibrant colors. The card is great!
ReplyDeleteThe bracelets are very cute -- isn't it silly about lawsuits these days? I mean, really? If it isn't destructive or demeaning then what's the big deal?
Happy WOYWW
Hugs,

Oh those impress inks are fab, sowers the matching pens..lovely job you've done there gal, well done on getting on with what you've got, let's face it, theres a lot of repackaging of the same but old good stuff!
ReplyDeleteIt's so easy to get carried away with all the new stuff isn't it and forget about all the stuff we have isn't it. These inks are great colours, so vibrant. I love the way you've overstamped them.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

Yes, I'm having a tough time not wanting to buy SO many great things at CHA. I try to do a nice mix of using up my stash and then replacing it slightly with new stuff. At least, that's what I try to do! :) Love your bright card!
ReplyDeleteOooh yes, I'm trying to use what I have, but sometimes you just need something new, hehe! Happy WOYWW.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW! Enjoyed my visit.
ReplyDeleteThat's a major stamp pad stash! And look at those fabulous colors! Cool looking card and worth digging out those little used pads. Thanks for the visit.
ReplyDeleteHi, Good idea to look at what you have and haven't used much - I think a lesson for me! (lol) Your card has turned out a treat- great colours and design. Love your S.....bracelets, not tried them myself but perhaps soon.
ReplyDeletegot to agree with you about the hype surrounding launch of new stuff at CHA ... can't keep up with and decided there is no need as you have so beautifully shown with your coloured squares - the card is fabulous. Love your beaded bracelets too. Thanks for popping in and leaving a comment - it's much appreciated. Hope you have a lovely weekend. Elizabeth x #2
ReplyDeleteI love your card (I will have to try your technique using ink pads).
ReplyDeleteThe bracelets are gorgeous. I have a pile of beads and thread on my desk ready to make into 'the' bracelets.
Inks! Embarrassing how many I have. In fact I have the entire fluid chalk ink line, and re-inkers, and the colours are amazing,but I am ashamed to say I hardly have used them for...well probably 8 years! Once stitches is out of the way I am pulling them out to play!
