Nice bit of sun right now to brighten up our moods and our desks. You probably won't be surprised to see that mine is heavily biased towards parchment projects. I was out yesterday, doing two great workshops with Maria Moorhouse at Evesham, and came back with plenty of homework. Parchment cannot be rushed otherwise it looks awful, all wrinkled and uneven.
This is the first one. Still a lot of embossing layers to add to enhance the graduated white work. Their is bit of cut work on the leaves, with stippling on the large daisy centres to give texture.
This second one was a little more complicated to set up, and involved more cut work, plus stippling again on the daisy centres. I have not yet decided whether to add colour or keep it to traditional white.
A very kind lady brought some magazines, full of parchment designs, to the class for anyone who wanted them. As a result of some chat, I was challenged to do the design on the front cover, by Marina Wiyadharma.
I think this will keep me busy for a while. Meanwhile, I am off now to link up with Julia at Stamping Ground to see how everyone else is going on. Have a good day, wherever you are or what you are doing.

You are right that design will keep you quiet for a while. Maria's designs look great should be lovely when they are finished. xx
Thanks for sharing your projects, your challenge looks interesting. Look forward to seeing the end result in a few weeks or so !!
Hi Marg, great pieces. I'd never have the patience, I lose interest if I can't complete something in a shortish time period. The colouring is beautiful on that last one.Love & hugs, Shaz #6 X
I love parchment but it's not something I tend to do, don't think I have the patience or maybe it's just that it's too clean for me as I am a messy crafter. Happy creative woyww, Angela x16x
Hi Maggie. Fantastic projects. They are going to look so very beautiful when all are finished. I personally love pergamano, especially the white work - but I'm being tempted by a try at some pencil work... watch this space, as they say.
Take care. God bless.

I love the look of parchment and admire your patience for doing it. That project inspired by the mag cover is delightful, so fresh and pretty - clever you!

Good luck with the challenge Margaret. Rather you than me. Look forward to seeing the finished articles from Maria’s workshop yesterday.
Wow Maggie, such beautiful work and definitely not to be rushed. It would be awful to spoil such delicate work. Sorry I missed you on Sunday. Hope your hand is feeling better. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #4
Love your afternoon workshop work Margaret. I would leave it white, but I do not like too much colour as I think white looks beautiful.
Not sure I would take the challenge from the parchment magazine!!

Your parchment work is just stunning, Maggie. Looks like real lace! You and Margaret (Glitterandglue) are neck and neck with this - both very talented! Thank you for your visit and I'm sorry you couldn't see the photos. Hop over to my new Wordpress blog at https://shoshiplatypus.com and you will see them there.
Happy WOYWW,

Good luck with your parchment. I love what you are producing, everything is so beautiful and anyone who gets one of your creations should be absolutely over the moon. I know what a lot of work goes into these cards, which is why I no longer do them, and how easy it is to ruin a piece you have been working on. Yours look perfection.
Hugs, Neet 3 xx
Really beautiful parchment i've never attempted a piece as large usually small flowers. Your attention to detail is exquisite. So glad you shared these today. Tracey #5
