WOYWW #447-Ending the year with a fun mess!!

Hello WOYWW Deskers!  It’s Wednesday, which means its “What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday”, a blog hop hosted by the lovely Julia at The Stamping Ground. 

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas or Hanukah, and managed to get some crafty play time in as well.  I had intended to spend some time clearing up the holiday collection of stamps, papers, etc., so I could start the new year off with a clean slate; but that sort of, well, not sort of…did fail…epically!  Instead I decided to peruse some of the bonus lesson materials for the 2018 Wanderlust class.  Namely Dynamic Paper Painting, the idea being you will end up with a collection of papers ready to use for the coming year.  We were warned it would get messy.  Oh boy!

 Step one: Clear off everything from my card table turned journaling desk.  Ie; throw all the stacks of papers, stamps, inks, stencils, etc. onto futon or floor.  Step two…make a mess. What great fun!!

Here is where I left everything to dry; Next is to splash/splatter a new color and then add some black. 

And after all this, they will only get torn, layered and painted over to be little snipits of interest peeking through. 

So here is my desk, now hop back to Julia’s and portal off to other creative desks around the world.  And even if I don’t get to leave comments, know I do peek on almost everyone during my wait times for the printer or on hold on the phone...my few moments for a creative sanity check while at work.

And I wish everyone a very Happy, Healthy New Year!!
