Not my words, but Hels' own words for my contribution to the Sunday Stamper Challenge! I finished off the piece we started at Hels' workshop last Sunday. I had such a great time with some lovely people and learnt so much - you can stamp with gesso(did you know)! OK! I'll stop there before you tune in to the fact that I know so little!!!
Sooo...here's the 'Words' side..
and the backside (so to speak)
I do hope I got this right- the concept Hels wanted to teach us was 'balance' and we had a basic little selection of goodies to use in our own way but to balance where we placed them. As you can see the 'basic ingredients' were beautiful and Hels showed us some great ways with inks, stains, gesso and stamps.
The morning was spent making this
Now, you think this looks nice, but look.....
it's got 4 sides - and you'd never guess how it started out!!!
As you can see it's no wonder I had such a good day - as did everyone else, Hels is soooo talented and I really would recommend you attend one of her workshops if you get a chance and I would definitely, definitely take a look at her blog.
Thanks for looking, Chris
