WEDNESDAY WORKDESK


It's that time again over at Julia's where we bravely and recklessly show each other the state of our workdesks, and get to have a glorious rummage around other people's - so get on over there if you want to join in. Anyway this is mine as of 9.15 this morning and as you can see I like to work on a piece of paper - I save scrap for this purpose, currently sections of chapter 3 which didn't make the cut! I like to stamp on it, try paints on it etc. There's a print of a church window that I decided against using, and a collage stamp I plan on using next!

I do realise that it looks quite tidy but I have cunningly only showed you the mat I'm actually working on and not the whole desk. This has loads of stuff all over the place, a greenish pot of painting water, bits of paper with messages to myself, and various stages in an experiment with metallic embossing powders ...

Anyway this is what I was working on - making an ATC with the delicious Invoke Madonna stamp which was part of my Christmas present from my dear friend Linda. I've now put it in my newly decorated ATC shrine so I can admire it for a bit. The latest one I've made is nearly always my favourite!

Ah your Madonna is sooo beautiful! I like your shrine too - I always have to admire my work after I finish it for a while! I have noticed you have pinky stuff in your room too, I do like the blue thinge with that lovely quote on it - I think I will put it up here in our library!

That ATC and the shrine are stunning.
I used to work on scrap paper too until the day OH asked me what that thing I was making on my desk was because it looked really good - it was the scrap paper! My actual artwork didn't get a look in.

Isn't it wonderful that we can edit out the messy parts of our desks? I love how you admitted it, too. I give you 5 gold stars for presentation.

Sorry I'm so late visiting, and on my first ever WOYWW. Unexpected company interrupted my computer time today. I'll be back, that's for sure.
