WHATS ON YOUR WORK DESK WEDNESDAY???


Welcome.. If you're here for the blog hop its' the lovely Julia  who is very busy but still hosting for us,
the best blog hop in blog land, grab a CUPPA and have look
at all the fabulous artist  here
stamping-ground.blogspot.ca 
I've been busy getting my giveaway ready, going through all my Stuff.
Sorting, wrapping everything in reusable pkg. and tied with ribbon and string.
 I'm doing 3 parcels this is one..
I added some notes of what I used the things for and they could
use it for whatever, even pass it on and share.
I have to bottle up my own walnut ink, then can send it off to the post.
I had such a fun time, it was like Christmas wrapping it all.. 

I took a pic of the inks I was making..
I wanted to mention, I go shop at Chinese stores, they have all kinds
of little bowls which are great for mixing, paint and gesso, etc.
I have got a few kits for writing Chinese Script, its art, all on its own,
I was teaching myself to write :O)..
The kit comes with wonderful brushes to write or paint with,
there is ink, solid and powder, a stone to grind the hard ink.
They also have a tiny spoon, you can see it in my mica powder jar.
It's the perfect size for those shiny powders.
My next project will be an Asian theme, I'm gessoing some beer mats for it.
Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful creative week..
NAMASTE!!!

Hi there, my magpie cousin! I love the idea of the Chinese goodies and those little packages are so exciting! I must investigate the crop, as I'm new to all this! Have a brilliant, magpie day! Good luck with the Asian theme too. I love all things Asian and calligraphy too.

Oh, how fun and exciting! Can't wait to see what's in that goodie box and what you've used it for. What wonderful inspiration! Absolutely cannot wait either to see your next project- I love Asian themes too. And that's such an awesome blue jean card for Tonneice's granddaughter- she does wonderful art!
