a sad/happy week. We were comforted by the number of people who attended my brother's funeral, good to see so many people loved him as we did. The happy part was being with family, we had an afternoon at the zoo with my great nephews, so good to hear their laughter and we managed a quick trip up the Lakes on a glorious day with snow on the tops. The Lake District at it's finest. This is Lake Coniston.
and this was the star at the zoo, only 10 days old.
Lakeland is the home of
Derwent Pencils and having seen these recently I couldn't come home without them.

More about them soon but I am in love. I was also given some deli paper by a generous friend so as soon as I was unpacked I had to play. I created a piece of paper that looked, to me, like the bracken and the rocks on the hills so this is my spread for this week. Not to the brief which was "collage something you have recycled" but more a reflection of the week.
this is the cover

Joy of joys you can use the inktense bars on the gelli plate. Trees are part of one of the first rubber stamps I bought.
The runner is "in progress".

So glad there was happy amongst the sad. Children's laughter is the hope of tomorrow, and a delight to hear.
Your spread looks wonderful!
Wishing you Happy Derwent play time.
