Happy WOYWW! What is this? Why, it is the fantabulous
blog hop hosted by the lovely Julia at The Stamping Ground where we open our
craft room doors to show what our work desks look like on Wednesday. And to show what fun crafty items everyone is
working on.
It has been a whirl-wind two weeks! I just can’t believe May is just a few days
away, even if our snow has finally disappeared!
The main cause of the whirl/wind?
My friend Julie and I wend down to Florida to attend the Back to Back Art Journaling Retreat with Dyan Reaveley and Dina Wakley! Three crazy days of art!! And I don’t want to lose the
momentum, so I’m trying really hard to finish up the signatures on the books we
made from Dina’s watercolor paper. We
also made books from Dyan’s large journal paper; I never thought I’d ever do
that!
So my desk is an ever-loving mess! There is no room to think! You see tags that will get tipped in to the
journal, some with collage work with Dina’s tissue paper, all with lots of
stencils and her glorious paint. The ultimate
goal was to put the journaling back into art journaling, so I still have that
to do—the hardest part in my mind! The
scraps top left I’m thinking of weaving somehow to go onto one of the other
sets.
The flowers are for one of the Wanderlust Online Classes
with Kasia Avery. As she said, the lesson is a good excuse to buy flowers! We were to paint flowers with shadows and
highlights with early morning light…she did roses, which I thought was safe. No, my painted roses look nothing like the
real ones…I was mostly trying to look into the petals. Hopefully they will last a few more days so I
can get some practice in. Disregard the
paper towel on the floor—LOL!
So, there you have it—my desk in its shameful messy
state. It will have to get tidied if I want
to get anything else accomplished. Now
jump back to Julia’s and see some more creative spaces. Stay Crafty, my Friends.
