Where are the wings??? For the year, that is, tee hee... I can't believe we are already into July and another WOYWW Wednesday!!! I am sure there is more than 1 in each week!!! And why are Wednesdays, so important?? 2 main reasons really - TIO challenge and sharing desks and work with the world c/o the fabulous
Julia at Stamping Ground...
Above you can see my alcohol inks out from last weeks' challenges at Stampman and Grungy Monday. You can also spy a new tool - a chobbler for rounding edges...
I have been sorting out my Tim Holtz pieces and adding to my stash, with more metal bits and some new stamps. These boxes are just a couple that I keep my things in..
And right here at the front, my Fresco paints... I love them. They have such a great finish. There is also one of my stains... don't have many of them, but I expect I will get a few more eventually... Now how lucky am I??? Just look here...
You might remember there was a mix up on WOYWW anniversary swap week, and my partner did not make an actual thing... well, a couple of wonderful people made things for me, and one of them was the VERY talented
Neil, who made me this lovely book, with this fabulous stamped cover...
The background is beautifully crackle stamped, and this TH birdie is so delicate. It is softly grunged round the edges and I am lovin it!!
I think this is wax, stamped into whilst hot...
And this is the inside of that tiny card, with such a lovely message... I have only just shown this because it came whilst I was in Venice, then the stuff with my mum made me forget to show it... so here it is now and thanks a whole bunch, Neil, I am so pleased and grateful for you sending it!!! - and finally...
Here is a tiny detail of my TIO tag for this week, available to view over at
DragonsDreamTIO, or in much more detail on this blog,
here. The theme this week is The Age of Chivalry, so if you want to join in, just pop over and have a look...
I hope you have a lovely week, and get to do what you want to do...
Love and Light
Frankie

Your own tag is really influenced by your Venetian trip... exquisite!

How king people were to you ..Neils is stunning ...and your piece is beautiful. I dont often have my sound on but i do today ...what a gorgeous piece of music came through the air waves from you.... I didn't want to leave your blog.
I love my 'chobbler', very useful tool:) What a lovely thoughtful gift to receive.
Neil's book is fantastic - great colors, the crackled background is gorgeous. Love all the details.
That book is lushious!! Lucky girl!! When can I come and play in your room Frankie?
I've just been having a catch up with all that's been happening Frankie and I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum. I hope she gets home soon and, it must be very worrying for you.
Your trip to Venice sounds amazing, the photos are magic. I love the masks and have two on the wall above me as I type although they came from Lake Garda rather than Venice!!
What a beautiful gift from Neil, no wonder you are thrilled with it, how kind he is to think of you.
Take care
Hugs Lisax
