... oh ho ho, I do love a nice play on words you know... it appeals to my inner literature demon... The "wrap" I am waffling on about is the Gallerie Wrap canvas kit that I have been playing with for this months Snazzy DT. Here's a taster pic of the piece I made... and HERE is the link to the Snazzy blog so you can see the piece in full. Whilst there, you will also love to see all the gorgeous creations that my talented teamies have been making this month too... seriously, Gillian had her swoonworthy canvas as a "blogworthy" mention from the one and only Duke of Distress, Tim... among Lesley's creations is a beautiful textured piece with a classy colour scheme, one of Nicky's creations made a total breathtaking WOW with colour (not to mention my fave 490 stamps) and Astrid made some seriously tactile mixed media lushness... so, a word of warning... you may needs a cuppa and a packet of HobNobs with you when you visit :O)
In other news... Grim's toe is beginning to get back to normal, at one point last week it resembled a mouldy olive (I am sure he will lurve me for reporting that!) and he is back to work today (booohooo, it has been soooo nice having him to myself) But! I am awarding myself "a day off" today. Apart from the usual pushing of the hoover about and catching up on the ironing, I know plenty of you will be saying "poor Hels... having ironing to do..." when in actual fact.... I love ironing! I know, I am weird, I do love to have a big pile of crumpled clothes and spend a while pressing them and then they are all neat and smooth again... only to be creased and crumpled when they are rammed into my over-stuffed wardrobe that is full of... erm, ahem, ahhhh.... stash. It is getting bad you know, I now have about 10" of hanging space (for short things, the boxes at the bottom of wardrobe are now piling up) and I really need to sort it out... I shall do that... erm... another day though! I am planning to have a day or two this week doing arty stuff in preparation for my next batch of classes so I needs a day off to get the old Mojo revved up and raring to go. He has currentlly beggared off on his holidays so I am hoping to tempt him back to do some new stuff.... Anyways, I digress... going off at a tangent as usual. What I was saying is today is a day off from worky stuff and you never know, after the ironing and the stuffing of clothes into the store cupboard that masquerades as a wardrobe, I may just sneak into the Room of Stash and do some inking, take old Mojo by surprise! Right, I shall away... as ever, thanks for looking! Have a goodly day! TTFN

Morning Hels, Stunning canvas, I adore all your attention to detail and textures, and I'm in love with the hollyhocks stencil, I definitely need that. Loving the embellies used too. Stunning canvas.
Have a lovely day 'ironing', if you run out - I can deliver (mine) ha ha.

I love this! Going to have to check this canvas out, as an artist I always found canvas too springy for me to work on, like painting on a trampoline! This looks like it could work for me though :)
loving the canvas, hels. your teamies projects are not too shoddy either!!! what a really talented bunch. take care, corinna.
