it's 3 PEEK Thursday...

here's a better look @ some of the art parts you may have missed yesterday...

PLUS...new studio 490 stamps too...
yippee...

*WARNING*...
you will be seeing lots of my newest "go to color combo"...
(aka addiction...)
tim's wild honey distress stain, stamped with Ranger's vermillion archival...

seriously...I LOVE it...

I had to HIDE the stain & the ink from me...
so that I wouldn't use it on every single project...
if you think I'm kidding...
I AM NOT!


this next piece was a totally fun project...

gotta take care of our guy needs...
LOVE IT!


I have be be honest...
when the pieces in the next photo arrived...
I about fainted...

I expected cute...
but these exceeded my expectations...

I can NOT wait to show you EVERYTHING...

the ruler is a BIG HINT...
just sayin...

which reminded me that I used tim's design ruler the other day...
I just pierced holes using the guide holes on the ruler & did a quickie hand stitched edge...

the ruler makes it so quick & simple...

ok...it's your turn...
talk to me on Thursday...
what are you thinking?

you talk...
while I...

make art!

Loving the new stuff Wendy. Can you tell us a little more about the stains over Tim's kraft resist paper. Want to try that but not sure how to proceed. Thanks for the inspiration!

OMG, can't wait... I'm thinking .... I need to run away and come see you at CHA. Sadly not this year.

OH wow Art Parts.... frame big size????? oohhh can't wait.

Debby said...

The frame is really cool, especially if it has windowpanes in it. I like that color combination too. Need to get some more archival inks!

connier said...

Okay, please tell me that is a ruler stamp you used. Can't wait to see these in person at CHA. Guess I will have to gat all the new archival colors. Keep the sneek peeks coming.

Tammy Tutterow said...

A Big frame?!! I am a happy girl indeed!!

Cim Allen said...

Karen Goulet said...

The elixir of muse is my favourite! You rock Wendy! Karen :)

Julie said...

I love any tool that makes art projects more fun like Tim's designer ruler!!

SusanK said...

Lovin' all the new stuff - may be your best release ever! Sure wish I had some of those items in my room right now to play with! Cool stamps, great art parts - rock on!

Karenliz Henderson said...

Vic said...

I'm so excited to see/buy it all! Your peeks are making my credit card scream! LOL

Helen said...

I am thinking I already need all of these - without even seeing the full caboodle! Vermillion red & wild honey eh, who'd a thunk! I already LOVE wild honey... goin' shoppin'!!

Anonymous said...

Well, good thing I listened to you and scarfed up almost all the new archival colors. Vermillion? Got it! Yea!
I'll just wait for you to announce each cool color combo. Why re-invent the wheel when I have you? LOL!

Sharon said...

Gee Wendi...and here I thought I had all of the stamps I could possibly want....being trained as a chemist and a writer how could I possibly not want "tincture of creativity" and "elixir of muse"??? Sent me down memory lane with all of the old chemistry jokes...ferrous wheel, meta4, and of course, purple ether bunny(requires a purple pen). It occurred to me that the last one could be modified to purple people ether...for those of us who remember the song. Which makes me think...that one of these days you need to have stamps/Art Parts for old-time LP's...someday those in our generation are going to be "nostalgic" might as well start early! Why should others have all of the fun! Love what's coming...any of it going to be at Carson before CHA...or do we have to wait until November?

Elaine A said...

Hi Wendy -

What am I thinking? I'm thinking I'm going to have to get a 2nd job to fulfill my Wendy Vecchi addiction - LOL! If that Art Part is a big frame, I am so loving you forever! And I love that wonderful color combo you adore - what's not to love? YUMMY!!!!
