Happy Birthday Ian

 Happy Birthday Ian - where would I be without you? Those were the days back on Lake Rotoiti having fun on Flutterby etc. Much more sophisticated these days with bbq tools in one hand and a glass of red wine! But still looking as young if not as hairy....

 Thanks for the comments on the gelli plate play - I know there are loads of articles and videos on using them but I wanted to push them a little more and try the sprays and create backgrounds which maybe don't look so obvious and are a little more subtle. I thought I would play with my new Moroccan stencil

and some of my pile of gelli plated backgrounds on Tissuetex and Tissuetex Plus. Very pleased with the results. I used a gold shiva stik and will do more and then some stitching. Time to get back to this theme. Love the layering.

More playing in prep for the e-mag. Loads to do always.
