Happy Anniversary WOYWWers! Congratulations Julia for creating and
nurturing this wonderful weekly blog hop. It's been wonderful getting to know so many crafters from all corners of the world, peeking into their creative process, and it's amazing how quickly time flies.
And the peek at my desk….this Wednesday morning (actually since
Monday night…) is actually pretty tidy! Pretty
funny since at one point I texted a friend saying it was like I had Crafting
ADD. I had 3 projects going, all in various drying stages. I started an online
class called Inventive Inks: Colorful Mixed Media Effects, and had work going
for 4 of the lessons. I started my Compendium Challenge piece, and was working
on a birthday card I remembered to move from the picture!
What you see is the butterfly for the class using the
Shattered Stain’s technique. It’s a
little darker than I planned. The box is
for the compendium challenge, using Eroded Metallic technique…sort of a fail
there…still need practice. The tags are
various samples from the first 2 lessons of the Inventive Ink class, all
waiting for some kind of finishing. I
have paints, stains, gesso, a jar of tiny flowers, tools, and a stamp set all
to get put away.
The post before this shows my start at the art
journal. The butterfly may end up
there..so stay tuned. I still have a
week, so the little box may not make it to the challenge, depending if I can
work up a more successful attempt.
My ATC’s for swapping are already at work ready to get
mailed…As some have already been posted, and I royally messed up a few others
mid-design, I only have one spare homeless one (not including the one for my designated *person) so leave a comment that you’d
like to adopt it, and I’ll randomly pick someone. And who knows…maybe I’ll risk the red paint/molding
paste disaster and make up a few more!
Now go say Hello to Julia and see what this WOYWW phenom
is all about! Have a great week
everyone!
Love that butterfly, Kim! I will have to check out the technique you mentioned. There are so many different techniques, aren't there? How can we keep up with all of it? I didn't participate in the ATC swap this time. All the items on your desk are very creative. Happy Anniversary! :) #59
ReplyDeleteI can't believe in a royally messed up anything off your desk. My word that butterfly really made me catch my breath! How stunning! And thank you for the ATC, it arrived today, which is just amazing timing, how do you do it!
ReplyDeleteCoo, that butterfly is absolutely gorgeous!! I really hope it does end up in your journal, it's too beautiful not to :-)
ReplyDeleteYour ATC turned up in the post this morning, thank you so much!! I loved the butterfly theme and the sentiment is really meaningful. I was going to get yours in the post, but that Julia turned up and we sat in the sun drinking coffee! So I didn't get to the post office in time! Tomorrow then.......
Happy 6th WOYWW and thanks for all the support you given me over the past few years :-)
Hugs, LLJ 13 xxxx

I need to look for a technique class--I just can't have it be too fussy, but yours sounds so fun! And the butterfly is adorable. Happy WOYWW 6th Anniversary! Sandy Leigh #52
ReplyDeleteIt is really lovely to see you over in the Ink class. I too have a few things on the go, but none are on my desk this minute...cos I am still enjoying the pretty pink. This will wear off I am sure... You have a lovely stamp set on your desk and the jar of yellow flowers are like bottled sunshine.
