Right now the floor of my craft room looks much like that as I needed to spread out for a few projects. Today might be a cleaning day! Your projects are all lovely. I especially like your black and white piece. Something about the upcycled looking materials catches my eye.

(Q would be a tricky one!)<br /><br />I don't know if this will help, but we both use blogger, so maybe... To add tabs at the top of my page, I went to Pages and selected New Page. The title of the page is the title that appears on the tab. In Layouts, I have a "Pages" section beneath the header. This allows the page tabs to show beneath my header. (I had a page go missing once and discovered there is an "edit" spot within this "Pages" section. Clicking on that, I discovered one page was somehow unchecked, so it did not show up. With a click of the mouse, it reappeared.) I hope this info may help you!Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345433893395079961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413414047102371546.post-8689108505419330292015-03-06T10:43:57.690-05:002015-03-06T10:43:57.690-05:00It can happen from tidy to messy in what seems the...It can happen from tidy to messy in what seems the snap of the fingers your black n white A T C is wild looking so much going on and figuring out what to do with Q would have been tough to do happy WOYWW hugs Nikki 1Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12183033370192889331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413414047102371546.post-59608285063466151882015-03-05T23:06:15.664-05:002015-03-05T23:06:15.664-05:00Such beautiful art!

Thank you for your visit today. This is the description of gouache paints which are a form of water colour - Gouache paint is similar to watercolor but modified to make it opaque. A binding agent, usually gum arabic, is present, just as in watercolor. Gouache differs from watercolor in that the particles are larger, the ratio of pigment to water is much higher, and an additional, inert, white pigment such as chalk may also be present. This makes gouache heavier and more opaque, with greater reflective qualities.[1] Gouache generally dries to a different value than it appears when wet (lighter tones generally dry darker, while darker tones tend to dry lighter), which can make it difficult to match colors over multiple painting sessions. Its quick coverage and total hiding power mean that gouache lends itself to more direct painting techniques than watercolor.[2] "En plein air" paintings take advantage of this, as do works of J.M.W. Turner and Victor Lensner. It is used most consistently by commercial artists for works such as posters, illustrations, comics, and for other design work. Most 20th-century animations used it to create an opaque color on a cel with watercolor paint used for backgrounds, and gouache as "poster paint" is desirable for its speed and durability." It is certainly proving an interesting project. Hope you got all your deadlines met. Have a good week. xx Maggie #20MaggieC (Silvercrafter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13560733295194874288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413414047102371546.post-76840652038776787762015-03-04T04:51:34.195-05:002015-03-04T04:51:34.195-05:00i love a messy desk it means youve been busy and t...i love a messy desk it means youve been busy and there is more to snoop sorry look at ;)<br /><br />lovely projects i really like the postcard its really pretty<br /><br />thanks for sharing :)<br />happy WOYWW<br />Love Mrs.C.xx<br />http://craftroomdiary.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/woyww-march-3rd-2015.htmlMrsC.xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291380081231512302noreply@blogger.com
