WOYWW 293# What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends.
Back again for another Wednesday.


Angela here to show you:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit the
Stamping Ground and our dear host Julia will explain and all will be revealed.

So here is my desk this week.





Today I have some of the tests I've been doing with the Tyvek.

First I painted it.

 
And then placed it over a rubber stamp, covered it with baking parchment and ironed it.

 
 
And this is the result so far.
 
 
I have done this before but I am always surprised how clear the pattern is.
Hope you like it too.


 I am definitely going to use this as part of the decoration for my journal cover.

But for now....I'm off to see what everyone else have been doing.

Hope you will visit them too.

Thanks for visiting and have a great week.

Happy WOYWW

Does the stamp melt with the ironing? What a great technique, thank you for sharing.

Another inspiring post, Angela!! I have done this with Angelina fibre, but never thought of doing it with Tyvek. You could almost use this as a stencil! I simply must try this.

Having some stress at home at the moment with Mum, and I've got a colonoscopy on Monday, and my creative mojo has flown out the window, I'm afraid - not for long, I hope. Hence my not taking part in WOYWW for a couple of weeks. I shall try and visit a few people, though. Have a great week.

Hi Angela! You iron your rubber stamps??? How do they not melt?? This looks amazing but apparently I get confused easily! ha! hugs :)

That is a pretty cool technique with the tyvek! I will have to give it a try..I am surprised at how well the patterns are showing after the ironing. Happy WOYWW Shel#56

Diana Taylor said...

What a fantastic idea - I shall have to give this a go, although I have Lutrador rather than Tyvek - I should imagine it would be much the same. Thanks so much for sharing. Hope you have a great week,

This looks fantastic, Angela. I've heard of Tyvek but never used it, might have to give it a try.
Have a good week.

I am ALWAYS looking for new ways to work with Tyvek, so this made my heart go pitter patter. What type of paint did you use, because I can't seem to get any to stick? It all flakes away when dry. Happy WOYWW from #2.

These look absolutely stunning. Can't wait to see how wonderful your art journal is going to turn out.

What great results! I assume the iron doesn't affect the stamps, as you've got such good results. Looking forward to seeing the journal cover. Helen #5

Kristiina said...

Scrapthology said...

Redanne said...

Oh I do love the outcome, it is amazing how the pattern stays so true - what a wonderful technique! Hugs, Anne xx

Had to Google Teyvk as had no idea what it was ... but guess it must have a lot lower melt temperature than red rubber. Wouldn't work on clear stamps. Great effect well done. Thanks for popping over. Shaz in Oz.x #44

Neet said...

Love tyvek, and love playing with it. Great results with the iron - in some ways cannot wait to get home to play with mine again.
Thanks for sharing.
Hugs, Neet 3 xx

Sorry for the late visit. Ooh I have stamp envy. What lovely stamps. I would love to know who they are by. I have worked with tyvek before but never tried this technique. Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comment.
