Happy WOYWW Everyone! That is short for “What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday”, the brilliant blog hop initiated by our lovely hostess, Julia at The Stamping Ground….and you can see all the deets there.

So exciting…I got even more playtime in the craft room this weekend, and I’m a step closer to showing my newest project!  But today is the leftover mess from my practice attempt.  A canvas panel on the side, a brand new jar of Gel Medium….funky stuff!  I’m seeing if those little reusable food containers will keep my diluted gel medium wet for a few days, or not... The cutter has trimmings from my gelli plate printings…and a few more sheets are to the right.  Oh, the yellow one has a cool feather stencil, it didn't

all come out, but it was too cool (IMO) to cut…yes, I do foresee serious gelli print hoarding…

So, there it is…now go stop by Julia’s and hop around the world to other great desks! Happy Crafting everyone.

I hope everyone had a great weekend; and those of you  in the Northeast are finally dug out…I still think Winter is my 2^nd best season…but it’s definitely Dakota’s favorite!!

And, even with the snow, I managed to get to Massachusetts for another gelli plate play date with BFF Julie, (no pics this  time…but just wait to see what we’re up to!)  And I even got some time in my own room…making a birthday card for my nephew’s 8^th birthday. 

So, the desk is after the card clean-up…The TH Birthday Blueprint stamps are top center…there are some photo corners in the little bin on the left…so I can finally get my Christmas Card Samples in their book.. some experiments of the card top-right….OH…and BTW…You can use Picket Fence Distress Paint  with Distress Stains to get a marbled stain effect….and yes, I should be able to tell which bottle I pick up---but still….The funny blotchy paper far right is my brayer roll off for when I do use the gelli plate. Oh, and the coolest..the pear is a gift from Julie using TH’s Industrial Metal technique to go into my pear basket wall hanging I’m currently envisioning…haven’t actually started yet, just acquiring items and ideas…

 

SO, here is the marbled paint/stain background, then the card…

And my Dakota…couldn’t not show her!

So, there it is…now go stop by Julia’s and hop around the world to other great desks! Happy Crafting everyone.

Good news….I got in my craft room this weekend! And Look…the wolf that has been sitting there for 3 WEEKS has been finished.  So what you see ready to be put away is the stamp, from Earth Arts International, the dies I used, and, yes, in the top left….proof that if you have an addictive personality, it is good to  channel away from harmful stuff, and (despite my husband’s take on this) redirect it to less harmful addictions…like Gelli Plate printing…and liking my friend’s paints so much I had to get my own…Oh, and how yesterday I went back to AC Moore to get even more..still sitting on my floor in my office at work…Well, you do see the sub-title of my Blog….I’m only stating the truth…Now to find a space for all my tubes of paint…

 

Oh, and here is the wolf card finished for my Step-son’s Birthday. And yes, one of the gelli prints was used for the background. Such a plus that I’m actually using them!

So...there is mine…I’ll hop around  to yours.  Have a Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

Now, as many of you know, I only get into my crafting room on weekends, so once again…there has been no changes to my desk from 2 weeks ago…same wolf stamp waiting for coloring inspiration…

 BUT: I had a play date on Saturday with my friend who lives in Massachusetts. And we got to play with our Gelli Plates.  Mine is the purchased one my Hubby bought me for Christmas, and Julie’s is one she made the old fashioned way.  Very Cool…really; it has to be refrigerated!  So I’m sharing her work desk, as it is infinitely more interesting. If you must; look back two postings, and you’ll see my sad, pathetic one! LOL!)

And Julie has all the cool paints. I only have a few of the TH Distress Paints, which work pretty well, but I tend to be stingy with, and some cheapo Apple Barrel craft paints, which dry really fast and don’t pull well.  So new on my expanding shopping list: Liquitex Basics Acrylics (And how convenient…they are on sale at AC Moore this week: 3/$10!

So there are our prints…and also added to the list…more stencils! Green Pepper Press is calling my name! We are going to try our hand at the Gelli Print Ombre Collage that we saw on YouTube...go check that out!

And, even better, I have used one of the prints for a Valentines Day card for my Honey. (Hmm, maybe I can ask for all the red paints at AC Moore!) 

So..there is mine,  err, Julie's desk…I’ll hop around  to yours.  Have a great week everyone!
