She has her own take on them - an amazing and very unusual technique using them as a printer might with lots of layers of colour swiped through hand made stencils of a photocopied image. And so I've been playing about with stamped images, different ways of colouring, melting and more. The first example I blogged yesterday, but will add more in the coming weeks.
It's nice to go and make something just because. I enjoy that when my day job seems to have an endless list of far more pretty boring admin-related crafting tasks to be done. I must make sure I go back and tidy up that desk though. Just in case someone drops by!
So if your want to share your desk, pop on over to Julia's and add you name to the list, and check out lots of the other desks out there in the crafty world of blogging!
Have a great week

Intersting & Crafty desk Leandra, keep up the good work !
No Leandra, take another picture I'm trying to avoid contact with the stamps on your desk (and Neil's as well) or I will crack and get them.
The Portfolio Pastels are great too.

Great tags - can't wait for my Portfolio's to arrive - having been trying to get hold of these since doing a class 2-3 years ago with Dina in Harrogate. Still loving your stamps
Love the tags - this has reminded me that I haven't used my caran d'ache pastels for some time - must get them out again - thanks for the peep at your workspace today (Hazel, WOYWW 67) x
Hi there; great creative space this week with lots to see! I've been enjoying playing with the Lynne Perrella stamps. Maybe I should look at those pastels now too! Thanks for sharing!

I am totally loving the vibrant bright colors on your tags! They totally rock! I am totally drooling :). Thanks so much for sharing your space! Happy WOYWW! -Amanda 34
Coincidentally I got out my oil pastels yesterday but they are only cheap ones and not easy to use. Can see I 'need' some of the Portfolio ones instead. Then 'all' I have to do is pick up some of your talent with colour and composition - could take a long while. Love the intense colours on your tags, beautiful results.

Really, you'll tidy up? I think there's days and days of work to be done on that desk before you cant find anything!! Like the idea of the pastels..well, in your hands anyway!!
OOOO Those tags on the corner of your desk are a bit lushious! I have that flower stamp too just need the oil pastels!! Can I play with yours please?
I had to go check out your work from yesterday too. Great stuff! You are right that it is fun to make stuff just because. I don't do that very often these days.
ooh some lovely ideas there. I love oil pastels, so easy to use and blend with your fingers, looking forward to exploring some more of your ideas.

Cool tags there!
Happy WOYWW #45

Ohhhh your tags are gorgeous and now I have to check out that link for the pastels. I think I won't be getting off this computer for hours.
I'm seeing how many I can get round this way.then when I have finished I'll come back again, that is if I can STOP reading all the posts first Happy WOYWW
