WOYWW wk55

It's Wednesday! Wow these weeks are flying by! On my desk this week is the remainder of my 'scraps' of metal and a little metal project I am working on and my TSS tools, (which were in a big folder storage thingy but I have now put them in a pink pen holder) which is much better. Now they are used more.

These are the shelves above my desk, I think I need to change around some of these things are a few years old now. Mmmm maybe next week!
To join in WOYWW click here to be transported over to Julia's blog where all will be explained.

I wanted to have a go at using 'Tyvek', well I didn't have any and didn't know where to get some so I improvised. (Not sure if this is the same thing as Tyvek but I used a piece of those white decorators overalls ( I got mine from a 99p store), it was quite thin so it didn't need much heat!)
The material was sprayed with Adirondak sprays to colour it first.
The background is coloured with distress inks and stamped (Paper Artsy), the material was attached to the card with double sided tape and then I heated it.
I liked the way I wasn't quite sure what was going to happen, where it was going to shrivel up and what it was going to look like when finished!

Inspired!

I was inspired to make this mirror after watching Cheryl and Megan on this weeks Tacco Tuesday video on TSS.
It used every piece of 'scrap' metal I owned!
After placing each 'scrap' onto the mirror with humungo tape, I went around each piece with a TSS wheel it made it look like it was stitched (close up), then I sanded the whole thing and everything 'popped'.
It was great fun to make and I used all those bits I just didn't know what to do with!
This is what is above the two trollies! It gets changed/added to every now and then. (I couldn't get the whole thing in one photo, there isn't a big enough gap between this side and my desk opposite, there is just enough room to sit and swing the chair around if I need something behind me!).
Don't forget to show you workdesk/space!

It's Wednesday!

It's Wednesday, so it's WOYWW. Here is the link to see all the others http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/.
Well my desk doesn't really look any different from last week, so I'm going to show you 'the other side' of my room. As you can see it is not as tidy as my desk! So much stuff it is all piled on top of other stuff! Magazines, tissue, things waiting to be altered, generally anything that doesn't 'fit' anywhere else goes on the trolly in the corner.

The kitchen trolly has my guilitine on the top, the drawer has Tims dies for my Big Shot (need to find another place for them though as I can close the drawer), the wire baskets have tools (mini drill, scissors, screwdriver), light bulbs and extra cut and dry. The bottom shelf has aa Art bin or two with my favourite papers in, (mostly Tims and 7 gypsies).

VERY colourful!!!

This is the tissue (I used it to cover the things on my desk) after I had finished being very 'messy' yesterday and why my desk is tidy today for WOYWW.
And these are what I made with it! Well I wasn't going to waste it!!!

WOYWW Wk 54

It's Wednesday, so it's WOYWW! Here http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ My desk is quite tidy for once (only cos I had a very messy day yesterday with Cosmic Shimmer sprays and had to clear it up)! So I'm ready for some more playing! (and in a space slightly larger than 6''x6'' Yay!!!)
Last week I showed what was to the right of my desk, this is what is on the left! More drawers from Ikea which have stamps and inkpads stored in them and on the to are lots of glass jars and pots which I keep some of my embelishments in.
