playing with cosmic shimmer WOYWW


A couple of things on the go this week.
Another collaged panel. I am preparing the background layers and will later add some thistles and a Dragonfly ( If you are reading LLJ hope you like the colours so far ;) )


bit of a close up to show you some of the texture, much of it will change with layers and sanding but this gives me a starting point. I use a lot of cosmic shimmer inks, I love them! They are however devilishly messy, but I don't mind about that.


 Secondly, this week another little person started life on the bench. I like to have several bits on the go. I flit between them so when one is drying I can work on the other.


 No... she is not a mermaid!....
To be honest the piece of wood I found as too small for a tail so I gave her a little dress instead. She was blonde... for a while, but as many young ladies do, decided she fancied her hair darker.


Much better....

and this is how far I am up to....


 She now carries a little heart. :)
nearly finished.


Linking up to WOYWW where lots of creative souls share what the week has brought to their workdesks.

  4. Your panel is looking gorgeous it is such a shame that the camera doesn't pick up all that shimmery goodness. I love your mermaids but it's nice to see one of your girls in a dress. She is lovely.

  5. This is just beautiful! I love the idea of these panels - are they wood? I like to have a few things on the go as well as otherwise I keep fiddling with the one that is supposed to be drying - working much better for me now I have a bit more space. Your lady is beautiful but the colours on that blue one - yum!! Happy WOYWW, Cindy #51
