WOYWW?

This week it's What's on your Workdesk Wall Wednesday right here!
I bought this from Dunhelm Mill when it first opened in August even though I did not like the colour of the flowers!!


It's been propped up at the side of the craft cupboard since and it has taken me all this time to get round to altering the colour and actually hanging it on the side of my craft cupboard in my bedroom!


I painted Adirondack paint dabber in Juniper all over the flowers and added a little Storm on the edges of all the leaves EDIT urm that would be petals!.....then Gold paint dabber on the stamens and Espresso on the centre.


I'm much happier with it as it goes with the general colour scheme now :)


Why not take a trip over to Julia and see all the other interesting goings on here, there and everywhere!

    Thanks for commenting on my blog - our clocks must be out of sync as we have different times for meeting Tim but I am on the late Friday class too so we will definately meet up! Its getting exciting now isnt it! Have you done a class with Tim before? I have done three but never done one with Lin or Leandra and am just as excited about that too!

    Aw I love Red, but I can see the blue works in well with your blue colour scheme, and those cushions are sumptuous

    I thought I liked the original, but I really love the altered color choices you used. They really match the pillows and bedding. And I simply love the design. It is so artsy.
