Welcome to WOYWW…the “What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday”  blog hop created by Julia at the StampingGround,  so hop over there to join the fun.

 

Today’s view; just me trying to be organized…now that I worked out the bugs on the display board for the stamp club, I have to prep and pack what I can for tomorrow’s meeting.  The tin (which will one day be grunged up) is holding some of the die cuts I made.  The glue on top is the most nasty stuff ever! But it will hold against the canvas which has give; the glue gun didn’t work for long.  In my defense, I am going to state that I must have been interrupted before I was able to get the butterfly dies into the tin holding my TH thinlet sets; because even I couldn’t be that lazy! The little Glad container has thinned down multi-medium for glue work, and I have to remember to find all the foam brushes to pack tonight.  Then there is all the rest of the misc. stuff that seems to be always lying around; some scraps for masking, a few butterflies I’m keeping for myself…and way in the back; the fallen down stamp cleaner that is almost empty…

And here is my finished board; they will hang on the library walls and display some of our current work in hopes we can get a few more members.  I’m surprised how strong the little clothespins are!  I was afraid they wouldn’t hold, or we would need 2 per card, in which case I didn’t have enough for everyone, but Yay! 

Now hop over to Julia’s and portal to some other creative work desks.  Have a great week everyone.

Different view for me today; as I spent some time over the weekend working at my die cutting “station”…eeewwww…how fancy and organized that sounds! LOL!  So as still stands, in the middle of cutting butterflies and branches from paper colored with Color Bursts for the stamping club.  I was so into the zen of cutting I lost track of time, until my brother and sis in law show up for a cook-out, (mid-70 degrees this past weekend, even on our hill in Upstate NY…miracle!) With luck tomorrow night I’ll finish everything up.

Oh, here is a shot of some of the strips I colored…still getting the feel for those color bursts, but I gotta say…pretty cool stuff!

Not so much to see today; just the mess left over from some card making last Thursday night…On the right is my new Sequin collection; yes…I’m collecting sequins….not really sure why…sure a few here and there are nice…but a collection??? 

The stamp is from Lost Coast Designs; one of the Manga Goth girls….Shaz (and Hettie)…I’ll be heading to the convention first weekend of June and picking up the mini set; need anything?

Here is the card I made for a coworker….this is our new mantra….way too many  monkey’s running around in this joint! 

So there is my mess for the week.  Now hop over to Julia’s and portal to some other creative work desks.  Have a great week everyone.

Was so lucky to have a bit of a play date Saturday afternoon.  The Stamp club members want to make big canvases to display the cards they’ve been making at the library.  (/wringing hands and cackling…”welcome to Mixed Media my little chickies!”) 

So first of course I better know how much time things take!  And which of my supplies would be better to bring…if I had more desk room I’d bring them to my house…this may be a logistical nightmare!  So our co leader and I jumped in.  Here is the aftermath; don’t ask how we each managed to make a 16 x 20 board on that table!! 

And here is a close up of my board, stage 1.  The shading is from the new Tim Holtz collection of Mica Sprays through a Stencil Girl stencil. I have to say; I like them more than I thought…just shimmery enough, in his grungy metallic palette.   

This photo sort-of shows the shimmery part better…

So there is my mess for the week.  Now hop over to Julia’s and portal to some other creative work desks.  Have a great week everyone.

Oh, and look! Winter arrived!  First actual snow on April 4! Weirdest winter ever in Upstate New York!  But Dakota is happy; she hated the 70 degree days we had in February and March! (me too! LOL!)
