Welcome to the “What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday” blog
hop hosted by the lovely Julia at The Stamping Ground, where we open our craft
rooms up to have you peak at our desks.
Wow...I’m going for a record of bad. Even my Christmas Card Frenzy doesn’t come
close to this horrific mess! The good
news is I’ve been amazingly crafty-busy!
The bad new…is this mess. Not
only is the Wanderlust course from Everything Art keeping me hopping with the
weekly lessons, but I’ve also started Dina Wakely’s Ordered Chaos at
JeanneOliverDesigns.com. Oh! And I have 9 ATC’s to swap next week! Let me know if you would like one!
Last night I was bound and determined to finish my week 17 lesson with Kate Crane working with patchworks. The second method calls for using scrap papers to make patches. Yes, I have tons of Gelli printed scrapes and pages (I mean...who doesn’t if you play with a Gelli plate?) But I decided I didn’t like the ones I had, so after finishing the first method, I thought I’d make one (ONE) print…Four are visible another 3 or 4 are on the floor drying) The blue one is a base from the lesson that these will go on. I was going to clean up, (really) if only so I could hit the ground running next time in, but then Dakota came in strongly indicating she needed to go out…NOW! And it was 10:30! (I’m in bed by 10!) and I didn’t want to have to mop the floor or clean the carpet anytime soon… so downstairs we went. I can only pray all the caps are tight on the paints!
Here is the first patchwork piece; not my style, but
rather fun and freeing, as the sole goal was to play.
So that’s me; now go back to the Stamping Ground to
portal off to other creative desks. Stay
Crafty my friends.
Wanderlust is fabulous and it keeps me busy. That was interesting 2 weeks at Wanderlust. I thought Dyan was very tense with her project. I need a dose of her cleaning up vibe. Kate's class, I liked but I think of her as more whimsical. It was a longer project than I anticipated.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, nice to find someone else is doing wanderlust.
I loved Kate's class last week and really meant to get right down to it.. but haven't yet! Your patchwork page is beautiful. Helen #1
ReplyDeleteThat's not a messy desk - just busy and ... well... crafty :) LOVE your patchwork piece - the colours are great, and I like that every time you look a bit closer, you see something else :)
ReplyDeleteHave a Wonderful Wednesday!

ooh, I rather like th patchwork piece but it's hard making something random - well, it is for me. I must have a very symmetrical brain, can't do random!
ReplyDeleteAnd your desk is magnificent :-D

ReplyDeleteHi Kim, love that patchwork piece, colours are so vibrant. I create that much mess too, lol. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #7 XxX
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try gelli plate printing, but it sure looks like fun! I like the patchwork page, very cool! BTW - a messy desk just means you are busy being creative! Thanks for sharing, Lindart #33
ReplyDeleteLove the patchwork piece. You're right about gelli printing; one print = no chance! Sarah #17
ReplyDeleteHi Kim. Your patchwork piece is great - well done. I quite agree - one page just isn't enough - you have to keep playing... If you have n ATC still going spare, I'd love to swap with you - I popped my email on this week's post - drop me a line with your address, and I'll send you mine.
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.
