WOYWW 306


Good Morning Deskers!


On my desk today a sheet of paper screaming out to be coloured in!  I gave it a coat of clear gesso yesterday so I can use my inktense pencils and water without the paper going soggy and disintegrating.  Now I just have to decide on the colour scheme...

Also note the huge pile to the right - I have been doing the shove and go method - it might be time for a putting away session!

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Hi Laura. Looks like you're planning a fun with colour session today. It's a lovely sunny day here so hope it's the same there with you. I'm sure the sun makes us all feel better. :-) I've been making my ATCs this morning ready for the anniversary swap :-)
    Have a great week.
    Hugs,

  4. I think we all do a lot of 'shove and go'. (Great expression!) I love that paper. I have a coloring book for adults and it has similar pages in it. I'd love to see it when you have colored it. It's going to be spectacular!
    Have a great week,

  7. I like how you call the pile your "shove and go"! What a hoot! Your page looks fabulous even without coloring! I'll have to pop back and see it done! Thanks for popping by! Hope you have a great weekend!

  8. Is that a Basic Grey paper? I never even knew they did papers like that! Ooh! I am so out of the loop scrapbooky wise. I may have to investigate. Will you show and tell when you've finished?

    Everyone is lawn mowing here too. I don't mind, I love the smell but everyone else in the house gets hayfever. It's the heat I can't stand - I wilt. But they all love it.

    Thanks for coming to see me already :D

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
