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.
I have no idea where the time has gone!! I just realized
it has been 5 weeks since I last visited WOYWW!
Maybe all the snow storms have tricked my mind into thinking
it’s still February and not April (and another 1-3 inch one is predicted
tonight).
But all this forced indoor time has left me with much
crafty time, working on the Wanderlust class projects and then working on ATC swaps
for—get ready—a Back to Back Art Journaling Retreat in Florida with Dyan Reaveley
and Dina Wakley!! We (going with my BFF Julie) fly out tomorrow and come back
Monday. I am so excited I just can’t
stand it!!!
So my desk is the pieces/parts for the ATC’s-I don’t want
to show the finished ones, since there is a good chance they will be similar to
the Anniversary swap. Lots of little Tim
Holtz Flower Pot die cuts…what on earth was I thinking??? I do have the coordinating stamp set, but it was too detailed/dark, and quite
overwhelming to stamp and the match the dies to over 90 of them. Just a touch of pen seemed much better. There is also a practice sheet of some watercolor exercises. I bought a book "30 Days of Water Coloring"--because I have so much free crafting time?? That was Day 4. Stay tuned!
Other projects: my Brothers Birthday Card, using Distress
Oxides. The stamp is from Northwoods.
Wanderlust Class with Jaime Avery working on sunrises
using just one color of paint plus white and black. This is a Cape Cod Sunrise over the sand bars. This was fun--I need to practice more!
Another Wanderlust Class with Marlene Meijer-van Niekerk
using water colors and negative painting. The technique was a blast--now I need to try again using watercolor paper, and my own subject matter.
So, there you have it. Now jump back to Julia’s and see
some more creative spaces. Stay Crafty,
my Friends.
I think all the snow you've been having has disrupted the time/space continuum 😉 Lovely to see you on the desks today - hope you have a wonderful time at the retreat!! Take lots of pics so we can join in with you.

ReplyDeleteI want to do a retreat so bad! You have done loads, I love those little hexagon things you have going on in the first picture. You aren't alone, I feel completely out of sync this year and only had about a weeks worth of snow a while back.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week ahead,
