sUE RoDdIS @ ThE STAmp ATtiC

Well, you know from the title, it's likely to be slightly wacky! Sue was teaching at The Stamp Attic this weekend and Pen and I managed to book a place. The class was called "Down my Street" (or it might have been "up my street" LOL) and you can see why! We had a wonderful time in the new workshop mucking about with ink and stamps and ripping up old books and the day went in a flash. I think my favourite part of this is the birdy's headdress. He's definitely a character that bird! I'm not quite sure I've finished the front yet....

.... and I definitely haven't finished the back but I wanted you to see the "garden fence" made out of BBQ skewers and wire. I definitely learnt a few new tips and tricks.

It was also good to have a chance to play with all the quirky stamps that Wendy has on offer. Thanks Sue and Wendy for a brilliant day out!

That workshop would have been right up my street too, and I love what you have done Carol - great fence. Luckily I have Sue Roddis's book and when I have done all the things on my list I'll treat myself to a quite hour or two with it. There is something about house designs isn't there? Maureen from Maureen's Mixture went on that workshop too.

Great street Carol. I like your fence very much. Pulls the whole collection together beautifully.

Fabulous inkyness Carol! Love the images you used! I did a workshop with Sue in August, she's a very talented and 'inventive' lady! xx

Great to see them close up Carol. I didn't really get to see them on the day. I just LOVE those Stampotique stamps and managed to treat myself to just one! LOVE the birdie too... he's so quirky! He might be another one on my list, although I dont usually do 'cute'!
Lovely day, wasn't it

Beautiful layering! The fence is super, and the whole piece is very inspired.

Wow, I love it! I am taking a digital course but I can't give up my textures, inks and stuff if you know what I mean. Happy New Year Carol!

Thanks for your comments on my blog. I love these little houses you make, they are so cute! I don't think I will ever get sick of little &/or mini houses. You definitely have a knack for doing them up so very well. I love the detail in all your artwork.
