WOYWW

This is my desk this week, I have been making moulds! My desk is very messy, this is just the tiny space left in amongst the clutter I have to work in!

But I felt the need to show you other areas which in my defence are tidier! This is where I have my Big shot and my guilotine.

The draws are full of ink pads, embossing powders, stamps, rub'n' buff and stuff like that. The glass jars/pots are full of found treasures, buttons, feathers, door knobs, chains, bits of broken jewellery and there are jars of brads, eyelets and charms. There are a few little 'arty' pieces dotted around too!

The printers tray is 'a work in progress' this was an amazing car boot find!

Oops this pic should have been next to the 2nd one, this holds all my dies and embossing folders at the bottom and my dvd player and i pod dock and fan on the top!

So as you can see I'm not as messy as my desk indicates, the rest of the room is still a bit on the messy side but 'Rome wasn't built in a day' as the saying goes!

Thanks for popping by and if you want to see more or join in click HERE to been transported to Julia's blog!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

A Halloween tag! A found photo (I think it was on a Tuscan Rose cd) pumpkins are a Cuttle bug die (painted), the cat, a cover stamp from Craft Stamper with a moulded moon face (painted black), wings die cut, the little pumpkin at the top is the same pumpkin die in shrink plastic , coloured and triple embossed.

Halloween cat. This cat started off as a wooden Christmas bell left over from last year! I painted it black added another larger moon face added details, ears, tail and wings.

My first witch! she was made from a wire egg cup (from a Christmas cracker!) added card ribbon reels, cork another moon face, cord and lots of ribbons and strips of material! Hat is paper cone and circle, broom is a twig and some raffia.

This witch was mad the same as the other witch, her cauldron is foam.

The skelletons in the pumpkin patch. This is a Tim configurations thingy painted black, stamped, pumpkins as before, skelletons and other halloween stuff from local shops.

A close up of Miss Witch!

And the pumpkin patch!

And this is one my 7 yr old Grandson made! His is full of 'blood' dripping down the 'walls'. He had a great time making this! I think he did a really good job!

WOYWW This Week?

WOYWW this week? More than mine I'll bet! I have been working on a few things but nothing is finished! The pens are there because I have been doing some stuff in a journal, (I ran out my white Posca in a few weeks in the middle of a page so it was hubby to the rescue on his way home from work!) The other pens are Pitts and Sharpies. This is an art doll I am working on, (she does have a face but she was feeling camera shy!)
She is made of thick grey board and embossing powder, tripple embossing? more like 5 or 6 layers! I then stamped into it with a torso stamp I have had for ages but I don't know who it is from.
Hopefully next week there will be more to share!

WOYWW This Week?

What's on my desk this week? Not a lot! The reason? Not because mojo has been on hols but because I have been making pressies and swaps and none have been given out yet so I didn't want to spoil it for the recipients!

But I did make this little birdie! He is made from a cork, a bead, wire, feathers, card and grunge paper! Oh and 2 googlie eyes! The cork and bead I glued together before painting then added all the other bits!

I made him for this little cage (which I made a while ago!)

He now lives on the top of my storage on my desk along with fairies and flowers!

That my desk for this week if you want to see more or join in click HERE to be whisked off to Julia's!

Thanks for looking and have a great week!

What a bad blogger! WOYWW and A Pink Glittery Tag!

I Don't Do 'Pink and Glittery'. This is a tag I made for 'The Stash Buster' competition on UK Stampers, I really don't do 'pink and glittery' but I did have loads of pink glitter (it must be at least 15 yrs old!) so I thought I would 'step out of my comfort zone' and have a go!
Well it started off well, I die cut all the flowers, dress form (painted it and attached all the trimmings) and decorated the tag, then it was glitter time! I covered all the flowers in 2 way glue and started to glitter tipping off the excess onto a peice of scrap paper, everything still going good until I started to pour the excess back into the pot, paper mid air nearly over pot and ACHOO the biggest sneeze ever!!! Think pink glittery mushroom cloud! I swear it was all in slow motion, I watched as the glitter came down, I was covered, the desk, the floor all had a pink glitter haze about them!
Well need I say I was not pleased, it took an age to clear up!
That night we had pink glittery tagliatelle with meatballs for dinner, the stairs, lounge, bathroom all looked like they had been visited by a fairy and everytime I moved I spread a little more around, even my hubby and son didn't get away without having a little bit of sparkle on them!

WOYWW!

On my desk is a whole load of Hearty clay pieces, mostly faces, a few buttons and a mans chest! Why so many? Because I have learnt from experience that if I don't use it all at once I'll forget about it and it dries out!

This is one of a pair of earrings I found in a little second hand shop.

And here is what I did with it! It is a book mark. (sorry about the shine, too loads of photos, this was the best one!)

My Names Book and a Canvas.

I have been working on this little names book, it is ATC size and it is for holding all the names of my cyber friends, their names, blog addresses etc.
The cover is chipboard covered with craft resist paper, this I coloured with distress stains, the flowers are from Prima and are coated with UTTE, corners are metal painted to look rusty as is the book plate.

Inside the pages are alphabeticly ordered (tabs and domed stickers).

This 8x8 canvas used up sprayed tissue paper for the background, I added extra sprays for the drips and the bottom is stenciled, the trees are also scraps and the bird is hand drawn.

The words at the bottom say 'Lifes Pathway'.

Thanks for looking!

WOYWW

It's Wednesday! I have missed taking part in WOYWW, school hols bring lovely grandsons to play at Nana's 3 times a week, one of the days being Wednesday. Today they are in a quiet mood, so it gives me a chance to play a long this week!
Haven't done a lot of arting the last few weeks, have to catch up on chores when the boys aren't here!
Desk looks pretty tidy 'til you look at the next photo!

And then you see all the 'stuff' around the little tidy area!
The canvas is something I started yesterday so hopefully I can work on that tomorrow!

This is the first page in my journal, it is much brighter than this in real life! Lots of blue and browns and texture! These are a few of my favourite things!

I really need a few lessons in photo shop!

These pages are spritzed with colorwash, cosmic shimmer and then sprayed with white to make it 'dreamy'.

Lots of orange and yellow sprays on this one I don't usually use these colours so it was a challenge for me! It was then stamped in rusty hinge all over with lots of different stamps!

The 'balloons' are world stamps on tissue, the baskets are hand drawn on tissue, the TH birds were around the wrong way so they are stamped on tissue too!

More spritzed pages, masked and stamped. The images are pieced together using various collage images.

All these pages are gessoed before sprays are added and are in various stages of completion.

If you want to see more desks join in the fun at Julia's place HERE.

Hope to see you next week too!
