Alpha Challenge - Z is for Zoophyte


Hi Chaps!  I'm sharing my Z page for the Craft Barns Alpha Challenge today...




and Z is for Zoophyte.  Er, what?!  Well I didn't fancy doing zebra so I chose another animal-y word.  It basically means an animal that looks like a plant.  The wood turned out a fair bit redder than I intended but, this will happen when you pick up the wrong coloured pencil!  :/




So there he is, Mr Twiggy, perched on some redwood, either planning to take over the world or conducting an orchestra!!  Hehe!

Thanks for stopping by
:)

    Fabulous choice Laura. I always learn something new from your alpha pages. I think Mr Stick is ready to rule the forest.
    Thank you always for your kind comments on my pieces :0) x

    Hi Laura - I enjoyed your post and your word choice too. He looks great and I like to think of him as conducting - it's something about the way he's holding his left "arm". Love it. MMx

    Excellent word and depiction. Just another stunning page from you - your drawings are very realistic. Having used coloured pencils a couple of letters back, I will give you even more credit - they are not the most forgiving medium. lol. I will go for Mr Twiggy ruling the world - why not after all.

    I am impressed with the texture in your wood, not easy with pencils! It's a fun choice of word too (one that I didn't know!).

    Amazing work. The bark is awesome.
    New word for me too (but then that's no surprise in this challenge... )
    Thanks for playing

WOYWW 159

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead up in the corresponding g

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm.  Perhaps the less said the better!  I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here .  Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card.  Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first.  I'll swap them round after a few weeks.  Do you like my domino pegs?  :) Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
