Here's my desk Tuesday afternoon...
I decided to play on a canvas board, using my desk easel - lots of sticking and pasting, totally random elements...
Here's a close-up - I'm sure it's not finished yet, but I had a jolly hour or so playing :)
A definite travel theme is emerging...
And I'll leave you with a few pics of our weekend in Stratford, for friends' wedding. It was a wonderful two days, but it took me most of the following week to recover *sigh*
Our hotel in the heart of Stratford, we were in the Hamlet suite (it has an easy access, walk-in shower)
Heather and Duke, the bride and groom
Nick and I
The Garrick Inn
Carving on the church tower
Wonky buildings are everywhere
Barges on the River Avon
Shakespeare's birthplace
Anne Hathaway's cottage
Have a great week!!

Happy WOYWW. Love your canvas - great idea, just to play about. I do that digitally, and then I can just not save it if I don't like it! Thanks for sharing the piccies of your trip to Stratford. I grew up near Chipping Norton and we visited Stratford quite often. Must take hubby there for his first visit - so much to see. Ali x #48

I love Stratford - it is ages ago, since my last visit there. Sigh...
Thank for visiting me. You are right, art has it´s own language, only people don´t.
Cheers

Stratford is so lovely and such a romantic place for a wedding! We holidayed there back in May and I found it absolutely inspirational for projects. Did you see that little gift shop at one of the houses with locally made gifts - so beautiful! I love your canvas with a travel theme! Have a happy WOYWW! Julie Ann xx #35
Hi Claire your table easel looks like a great idea I think they have them in Lidl at the moment I might get one,
your canvas looks great as does your weekend away amazing to think how old all those buildings are but they still look fab

That's what I love about Wednesdays as we don't just get a sneak at desk's around the world, but also the world in general. I love the beautiful photos you have shared of your weekend away and your journal page looks fabulous. I am a big fan of randomness. Have a great week. Danie #17
Looking good. I wonder how it will develop? And the photos are lovely. Lovely day for it, and with the British summers as unpredictable as they are, a stroke of luck there.
Happy (better late than never) WOYWW!

Good morning, Claire. Yes, I see the travel theme emerging as well. Must be due to your recent trip. What a lovely place to visit.
Creative Blessings! ~Kelly #131
What a lovely place to wed! And you look very glamourously Claire!
Great Desk and WOW is that house wonky I thought the picture was off but that is one funky house hope the floors are somewhat straight :) hugs Nikki 22 thanks for the visit
I really enjoyed seeing the photos of the wedding, the wonky house, the Avon river with its barges, and Shakespeare's birthplace. Even more fun than a desk this week. Happy slightly belated WOYWW from #10.
Great shots! Makes me want to be there - it looks so beautiful.
