I turn the vast majority of them down, I know money is tight for a lot of people and don't want to be a channel that encourages others to over consume, but I was intrigued by these storage solutions from @Ecostash-organization and thought you might find their products useful. Here is a link to their web site if you are interested.ecostash-organization.comThe file box they sent me seems very sturdy and is incredibly versatile - it is around 15 dollars which is about £11#pttagclub #wingit #art #distress #timholtz #visibleimage #stamping #mixedmedia #opencollab #lavinia #stencil

Local Art Exhibition ~ I Met the Artist! My First Play With Dinkles ~ Whats the Verdict? #art Paper&Twine 2025-08-24 | I was thrilled to run into Martin Platt (aka Sean Wilson) from Coronation Street. He and his wife were thoroughly charming and I was taken by his art, particularly the 3 gorilla paintings. What a clever, talented man, actor, artist, writer, musician, cook AND award winning cheese maker!Here is a link to Sean's website where you can see more of his art and look at his cook books. seanwilsonartist.co.ukAnyway, I absolutely loved playing with my Dinkles from Lavinia Stamps - the colours are so vibrant and rich. I really need to skill up and learn how to paint properly. I did say I thought there were 60 colours of Dinkles, but looking on the website, there does only seem to be the 20 that I purchased as a bundle - I could have sworn there looked more in the shop!As always, don't forget to comment, which was your favourite colour of watercolour pigment?#watercolor #watercolour #sketchbook #artexhibition #coronationstreet #playing #cookbook #actor #lavinia
