Dave is a treasure to try to make them into pen nibs and they do give a different sort of mark which art teachers who always want you to do mark-making would get very excited about.sheila 77https://www.blogger.com/profile/00698767195924308373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268067691469926930.post-45741847398176807852017-08-06T12:44:24.116+01:002017-08-06T12:44:24.116+01:00The wind chime idea is fabulous and so interesting...The wind chime idea is fabulous and so interesting - good luck with it.

But what you did with the digital paper over the top to give it a more dramatic and night feel, to add the quote and that cute cat, is gorgeous!<br />Haha, what you did with the stamps is fantastic!! The best use ever!<br />Cool ideas for those canes! I like the idea to draw with ink filled canes.<br />Liebe GrΓΌΓe, RikeRikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08983819038717220234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268067691469926930.post-18027864829359379402017-08-06T01:08:59.218+01:002017-08-06T01:08:59.218+01:00What fabulous colours on your City scene, Gill!

Your AJJ page is wonderful. I absolutely LOVE it. You draw SO well, and when you add your digital magic, it turns into wonderful art. I adore it.<br /><br />I am STILL laughing at how you used the stamps you won. That took a very clever mind to come up with how you used the "hills." I was truly impressed with how you used these, and loved your drawing, too.<br /><br />I have some bamboo that reminds me of your Himalayan honeysuckle canes, in that you have to be careful where you cut it, or you get solid areas where you cut it. It can be a real challenge unless you get the bamboo (in my case, at least) when it is quite young and green. At that point it hasn't had a chance to get those "nodes" of hardened areas. <br /><br />Hope you have a super weekend, dear Gill.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268067691469926930.post-51594053018089007802017-08-05T04:58:03.834+01:002017-08-05T04:58:03.834+01:00WOW!

It's such a clever and unusal way to use our Whimsical Summer stamps. Super cool!!! <br />Love your city scene, too, and the nibs you made look fun.

The colours on your City at night page looked awesome and the cat looks quite content and sleeps through the noise.<br />Its a great card you made with the new stamps, I would never of thought to use the hills the way you did.<br />Good to see you have begun using the canes, the pen nib seems a good result.

Your digital page is amazing too, the vibrant colours and image additions reveal a totally different world just like the quote says and your cat looks very happy to be there too ...purr-fect! (sorry I just couldn't stop myself... lol π). Talking of "digi-stash", I hope you managed to download all your artwork and materials from the site that was closing, I bet that's been keeping you busy. The card you made is fab, I like the way you used the hill stamp, very inventive ... lol π. I loved seeing your work with the honeysuckle canes too, and you made a good start on your windchime project and the quills worked well. I'm off to look at your garden now π.
