Happy Wednesday everyone!
WOYWW- the blog hop that takes you where other blog hops wouldn't dare... the craft desks of the world!! Hop on over to
Julias place and start the mammoth peek into the mess of others!
My desk this week is a long shot for a change....maybe it'll look less messy this way???!!
Um.... that'll be a no then...still messy! I was creating a painty thing for a challenge (no change there then!) and decided to use up the excess paint on a tag rather than wasting it....then the tag kind of developed into something I liked more than the original project! So, I'll show you the original canvas, and put the tag into the challenge instead!
As you can see by all the black paint left over on the paper in the desk shot, I didn't use white with my brayer for a change, wanted a darker look this time! Hardly any printing either, the background was 99% stamped using paint...
My top tip for stamping onto canvas....use unmounted stamps WITHOUT the acrylic block. As canvases aren't supported in the centre, there isn't a good solid surface to stamp onto. Using stamps that can be bent slightly to take the 'give' of the canvas surface into account gives a much better result. Having said that, I still always use the stamping onto tissue technique for anything that has fine detail!
The image is Zettiology, the words Unity Stamp Co.....
Check back tomorrow and I'll show you the tag I like better than this!!!!
Have a lovely week..

ReplyDeleteLove the canvas and your crafting space is just amazing - I could snoop around all day! Thank you for the tip for stamping on canvas - it really doesn't end very well with the acrylic block!

Hi Trish,
ReplyDeleteEvery time I come visit I'm just amazed by your wall of stamps. Um, can I come visit?
Your canvas looks GREAT. Now I can't wait to see the tag.
Today is my blog anniversary (one year). Candy will be announced soon. I'm taking a poll so pop on over and put in your 2 cents worth.
Happy WOYWW
Hugs, Kay #96
Hi Trish - I almost spat my tea over the screen here, really laughed at your long shot and 'That'd be a No then' :))
ReplyDeleteWow, I'd love to get into your craft room for a rummage round all those stamps.
Belated Happy WOYWW, at least we finished the job in super fast time! Di xx #3
Wow, I think you have more stamps than a shop. I'm so impressed. I didn't know you could stamp on a canvas, maybe I should buy some stamps, it looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Wow! Look at all your stamps. Much prefer wooden stamps. Would love a wall taller than me (my craft room is in the loft so I have a sloping ceiling.
ReplyDeleteI love your canvas! It is lovely!
If I am printing on canvas I sometimes put the stamp on the desk and put the canvas on top with my hand inside! That kinda works!
I like them both! Love the continuity on the gal standing on the border. Really great colors and build up of layers.... fab!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness look at all the stamps! It would be so much fun to come play in your craft room!!
ReplyDeleteLove all the layers and texture on your canvas. The colors are gorgeous too!

Oooh, love the canvas! Sweet mix of paint, stamping and designs! And I'm not brave enough to take a photo of my work space, lol!
ReplyDeleteHi Trish
ReplyDeleteI'm really late getting round to everyone this week! Thanks for stopping by my blog though.
Love your work space - very light and airy! The canvas is fab. I've got a couple at home but haven't quite had the courage to do anything with them yet.
