Well, here we are, two months down already. Time flying past, and to be honest, not a lot yet happening this end, other than a bit of organising.Did get one gorgeous piece of Happy Mail, from our lovely Debbbie, of
Tattered Rocks.
Isn't it just awesome?
Next on my desk are these- water soluble oil pastels. I've seen a lot of good things written about these, people comparing them very favourably to Tim Holtz's Distress Crayons, and to Gelatos as well. Notice these are water soluble ones, not just bog standard oil pastels. This pack of 24 cost me £8.50 from Amazon, plus shipping.So a lot less than the other two products mentioned.
Nice range of colours too, so I'm intending to have a play with them in my practice journal and see what happens.
As you can see, with a bit of a water spritz, they do indeed blend really well.
Last thing for this week, the Distress Oxide pads arrived. I'm going to see what I think of these, and whether they are different enough to justify the outlay when more come out. The one thing that really caught my eye so far was how even the palest colours show up on dark cardstock, even black, when they dry. So that will be an interesting experiment with some scrap black cardstock.
Well then, time to link up with our Julia, at
The Stamping Ground, and I'll be visiting in between naps, lol.
