WOYWW 258



Ha! Remember last week when I said I was going to be tidy by next Wednesday?  Didn't happen!!

Some of it is a little tidier but the time I planned to use tidying the desk was spent sitting on the floor in the kitchen helping mum to get rid of flour weevils.  Quite a scary thought that they were brought in to the house from flour bought at the supermarket.   Anyhow, no weevils on the desk...


A half started journal page.  Some wrapping paper torn up and gel mediumed down.  I'm thinking some gesso, circle mask, silver acrylic paint, teal ink.  We'll see how it goes.

Also a pile of pencils waiting to draw an owl. Just cos.

Thanks for stopping by, see you at your desk!

    Is it me or are there weevils these days? Always a good excuse for a spring clean! I love the colours you are using on the page. x Jo

    It's good you have things there you know need finishing. Hope you don't get side tracked by any more weevils.

    Sadly, some certain types of housework do take priority over crafting. Hope your are weevil free and back to being creative soon!

    Happy Woyww,

    Yuk - weevils! My only experience of them was when I was 5, finding them in my Weetabix! I hasten to say that was 57 years ago!! Mind you, it put me off them (Weetabix, not weevils - I was never into them!!) until recently, when I've started eating them again. Mum eats one, once a week which, at that rate, the smallest box of 12 would last 3 months! Crumbs, how could I waffle on so long about cereal?! Anyway, your desk looks full of potential, and I look forward to seeing the finished page. Have a great week, Chris # 23 xx

    I love all the "in progress" just waiting for you to have a moment to pop back to your desk and start right in! At least you won't have to decide what to start working on. It's all waiting for you :) marissa #99

    I stopped by for Friday Smiles and decided to comment here, first. I have had those same weevils in my house, too. I cleaned and removed anything with flour in it. Now I put any and everything that contains flour in the fridge. I even put my pasta in the freezer. Those little buggers will never invade my home again. I hope you have gotten rid of yours.

    Of course, the desk looks far more inspiring. Do you have enough pencils (grin)? Happy WOYWW from #1.

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
