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.

DMIO: Teach Me Something

A few weeks back I made a dream catcher.  A few readers asked if I could show them how I made it, so, here is my attempt at a tutorial! First up weaving the web. 1. You'll need a hoop and some ribbon/thread/yarn on a bobbin. 2. Attach the ribbon securely to your hoop. 3. Take your ribbon over the top of the hoop... 4. and up through the loop you've just made with the ribbon... 5. so you have a cross over. 6. Continue steps 3-5 until you reach the knot. 7. Now instead of going over the hoop you will crossover the ribbon 8. and through the loop you've just made to give a crossover. Continue on in this fashion until you get to the middle. You need to leave a hole in the middle as this is where the good dreams get through!  They then run down the tassels/feathers/any other hanging decoration and on to the owner.  It should look something like this.  You'll need to play around with your tension until you get a firm web. Now for the tassels - I like to

A Poe Quote

So I've been trying out art journalling for a while but had nothing that I wanted to share, until now. I was inspired by The Bears Challenge and picked this quote to base my page on. "If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered" I got some paints out, some spray mists too.  I used my fan brush, my fingers and a cotton rag.  I got messy, satisfyingly messy :) The letters are some old letraset vinyls that were my Aunt's.  When we cleared my Grandparents house I couldn't stand the art goodies to go to waste.  I saved them because I knew one day I would find a use for them.  They must be 40 years old but are still perfect.  (I sometimes look at things I get today and think they won't still be good in 5 years let alone 40!) I don't have the complete alphabet so there are some adaptations... c's became o's, E's became t's, w's became m's.  I magicked a k from a P!  Some
