I hope you will excuse me, but I have no desk photo right now, having only just got back from a fantastic, full on two day Groovi/parchment retreat down in Kent. This photo has already been on my blog this week, but it was the best I could do. It also shows some of my very good friends from the Clarity community, getting together the evening before.
This is a sneaky peak of our first project. I am keeping it under wraps till it is
finished and the plates have been officially launched. Suffice it to say that both the projects were just so beautiful, and I am looking forward to putting in the work to finish them properly. The embossing needed will take the rest of this week at the very least, but it is worth doing properly.
The second piece is also in need of a lot of finishing work to complete. We learned so many techniques from Master Tutor, Linda Williams. Everyone in the 80 strong group tackled the same two projects, no matter what level they were at, but it was possible to stop at any point and still produce a lovely piece of work.
I will be bringing my parchment things to the forthcoming WOYWW Crop, and if anyone fancies having a go, you will be welcome to try.
As I am very late to parade this week, (not easy to write a blog during past Heathrow), I will finish now and try to visit a few people this evening before crawling to bed to recover from the journey back from Kent.
I do have one more thing to mention, the dreadful fire at Notre Dame. I am sure I am not the only one to feel shock and disbelief at the devastation of a place I visited many times in my youth. I do hope that it can be restored.

Glad you had a good time & got home safely. There have been a couple of finished projects on FB today but look forward to seeing yours in due course. Sounds as if there are some more new plates coming in the near future so you had better stock up on the beans when you go shopping.
Looks like you had a fabulous time Maggie. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
Sounds like a wonderful weekend. I would certainly like to try at the crop.
I sadly had never visited Notre Dame in Paris had hoped I might one day - it is truly devastating. Anne x 18
Well I am glad you did not try to blog whilst driving Maggie. It has been a busy but wonderful week. Think sleep is needed ready to get those projects finished. xx
Hope we get to see the results of your finished projects. Have a lovely creative woyww and a happy Easter too. Angela x17x
glad you've had such a wonderful time at the Clarity event. Dreadful events in Paris indeed, hopefully it can be restored. Helen #1
Seems your long trip to Kent was thoroughly worthwhile, I can feel your enthusiasm for getting on with it, I shall look forward to seeing it. A group of 80 is a massive reach in terms of ability, I take my hat off to their organisation!
No wonder you were feeling tired, sounds like you had a busy time. Hope we get to see the finished projects. Happy crafty Easter. Angela x17x
Hi Maggie. Oh wow! What a wonderful week you have had - and to have tutoring from Linda Williams - brilliant. I just LOVE her designs. I'm getting a bit of a reputation for being a proper gadabout recently - but it sounds Like I'm not the only one!! Enjoy finishing the two projects.
I'm so looking forward to meeting you at the crop - glad you can make it.
Take care. God bless.
