WOYWW 165

I have been out and about today, I'm not completely attached to my crafty workdesk while I'm off work, although I wouldn't need much arm bending to make me to stay there! I've been to a museum to see a Saxon archaeological collection. I love history it always inspires me, especially all the old distressed collectables on display. I bought some old postcards which will make their way on here at some point.

On my workdesk this week you can see I'm working on a couple of journal pages, all will be revealed later this week. I also have some art parts on the go too, quite excited about these.  I have 2 deep edge 5"x5" canvases which I might hinge together to make something with, but not quite sure yet what to do with them.

A few weeks ago I went to a preview day at Art from the Heart and bought some ex-display racks. When I got home I was hoping that the Dylusion inks would fit in them, but they didn't. However, all was not lost as they turned out to be very useful as they keep my distress stains, applicator tools, alcohol inks, liquid pearls, acrylic paints and re-inkers all tidy. I love how gorgeous they look like this.

If you're wondering what What's on your Workdesk Wednesday (WOYWW) is all about then hop over to Julia Dunnit's blog where all will be revealed.

See you tomorrow I hope xx

The Hobby Room's Craft Room!

This lovely, clean, organized craft room never stays like this, it's usually covered in glitter, gems, charms, distress inks, and bits of card.

I'm completely anal about organizing colours, as you can tell from this image below. I have buttons all colour coordinated, behind the buttons are prima/mulberry/petaloo flowers in the tall coffee jars. Yes that is a lot of coffee! 

 

My little collection of various accents from crackle, glossy, snow, silver beads, mica powders, cosmic shimmer and crackle nail varnish.

The distress inks are starting to take over, I hope they don't make too many more shades.

We can't live without glitter, even the most un-girly girls can't resist black glitter.

I'm beginning to think that my skin is made of glitter, I can never seem to get it off me!

The Promarkers even have a home in some cheap Poundshop drawers. Of course these too are colour coordinated. You'll notice that I have a letter rack to the right of the drawers, with a clever use of toilet roll inserts, however, I keep meaning to stick them in properly and alter the whole thing to make it look much more artistic. I just haven't yet. When I do I will put it on here.

My current work 'washing line'. I like stamping and colouring. This is why I always have more finished images than I do cards. I always need somewhere to put them while I'm thinking what I'm going to do with them next.

I think here is the best place.

Maybe I'll put a 'what's on my workdesk Wednesday' pick up on Wednesday, just to see if it's this tidy! I doubt it. Take care everyone, I hope you like my pictures?
