An almost clean desk and a box of metal bits drying after a spray coat of gloss varnish. I forgot to take a photo of the box I was decorating last week. So this time I quickly took a snap of the new one I am playing with. On the left is my little radio, getting on to 30 years old and still going strong. The elastic band just keeps it all together.
A close up of the lid, heavily influenced by Finnabair.
Rumour has it she may be back in Australia towards the end of the year..... Yay. Seriously considering joining Facebook so that I can keep track of her class information. But the thought of Facebook puts an end to that idea. I will rely on well informed scrappers to let me know when she is ready to take bookings.
Finally a few lemons for my DH
and a chicken for no reason at all.
Have a lovely and creative woyww.
That is a gorgeous box, I keep reading about Finnibair, I must google it. What did we do without google

How do you do it - I swear that leaf is hovering a few millimeters above the line drawn on the paper! So realistic! Both are beautiful paintings. The box is gorgeous and I love all the little metal bits you used on it. Thanks so much for stopping by my desk earlier - I hope you have a great week,

In my book...there's nothing better than a chicken for no reason at all! Such fun things. Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #40
ReplyDeleteThe chicken for no reason makes me happy. Lovely lemons too but that box is FABULOUS! So metallic looking yet elegant-very nice. And Facebook, I get why you shy away. I check it all the time and mostly all it ever does is annoy me. Judy #56
ReplyDeleteLove all the treasures and trinkets on your box, and your paintings are really wonderful. I do sort of "do" FB but usually find myself wandering about not quite understanding what's going on! :o) Happy WOYWW Annie C #30

thanks for the visit
Love your paintings, and your box is gorgeous. I think I saw a list of where Finn is going to be this year on her blog - you might try going back through the posts.
ReplyDeleteHugs & Thanks for visiting me today - Neet 20 (started with a cold, feeling yuk) xx
Forgot to say, I wouldn't be surprised if KC didn't use those paints as she does a lot at Art from the Heart. They are nice - and dry so quickly, ideal for journals.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet (again)
What a wonderful box, I follow Finnibar and always marvel at her creativity!
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are so beautiful. Well done! I LOVE your box!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the lemons for hubby and I miss the pears. Oh and that box is so beautiful. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Happy WOYWW

Oh, and I have a little radio, very similar, but even older :)
