woyww - LO with bits

I am always collecting bits of paper which are just too good to throw out.  Only a crafter would understand.   I  store it all a box for that "special project" that needs something.  The box is in the top left corner and you can see it is full.  I even separate the scraps into like minded scraps, hence the zip lock back with extra special scraps.  At this stage I am just playing around with the bits and will eventually look for a photo to fit the LO.   Normally I would start with a photo and then work on the LO to fit the photo.  Today is different and I have no explanation apart from woyww!

woyww- a winner

The draw was supervised by DH who stood over me to ensure it was all above board.  As I cut out comments and DD picked a winner mumbling something about random generator.  But I do love the drama of a hand picked winner.

Congrats to Annette who commented, followed and will soon receive a Steampunk ATC.   Please send me an email with your contact details and I will pop it in the post. 

Not a lot happening at my desk .... So I am going to see what other woyww's have been doing this week. 

woyww - LO and pretty stuff

2 Pretty LO's with lots of flowers this week.  All because I did a workshop at the Penrith Craft Fair with the wonderful Nic Howard who hails from New Zealand.  She is a wonderful teacher who always adds so much detail and dimension to her LO's.  

One I did when I got home as I still had lots of paper and flowers left over from the kit.

Now for something a bit more grungy.

The finished steampunk ATC which I had been working on weeks ago.  The swap is finished and I have some extra's!  If you would like to go in a draw to win the ATC in a small book all you have to do is become a follower (if you aren't already) and leave a comment.  Next week I will randomly pick a winner.  

Join in with woyww and have a peek at what everyone else has been doing this week.

woyww- consumed by a kitchen

All art and craft fallen by the wayside as I am consumed by a kitchen renovation.  After months of discussion, consultation, redesign and plans I was all ready to start.  As I marvelled at how a designer could fit so much into my small kitchen it suddenly dawned on me he had measured it incorrectly.  Armed with my scrapbook ruler I measured it out and finally all agreed it was wrong.  New corrected design and family grateful I have great visual spatial abilities.  I may not be able to add numbers but I have "superior" abilities at working out how things fit together.  I can also pack a car boot and have room to spare!! Hopefully my desk will be back to normal next week.

woyww- petri dish monoprint

What you see are my "Gelli Plate" prints also nicknamed "Petri dish experiments" by the family.  Lots of fun, easy to do and ultimately great backgrounds for art journal pages with minimum of fuss or thought.

The Gelli Plate is hiding underneath the finished prints.  The blue basket on the right is new and currently storing bits and pieces left over from last week.  The plan is I will pack everything away!  Time will tell.

Off to visit woyww .... 

woyww-pathetic

A sad pathetic woyww desk this morning.  So little to show; art journal page, some bargain bin memory glass and frames, a sheet of free book stickers and that is it!!  I hang my head in shame.

But, I am off to lunch with a crafty friend and I will catch up on the latest and pop round to visit a few woyww desks this evening. 

woyww - art journal and cards

The beginning of an art journal page.  Trying out the new "typo" letter stamps and of course on the right the magazine with Kate Crane's article which always inspires me to give it a go.

The desk is relatively tidy as I had finished making Xmas cards and did a quick tidy up for the pic.  Still  need to make about 40 more cards and I should be set.  Hopefully I will remember where I put them when I go to post the cards in December.

Not a lot to show for a week but I am sure inspiration awaits at other desks on WOYWW.
