WOYWW #861

         

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #861

On my desk easel is my finished Trovember - add one piece of collage each day in November - this is a very quick challenge each day! I have put separate posts up about this.

At the front of my desk are two pages from the virtual retreat of last weekend.

 This first you saw part made last week, from an Art by Marlene workshop. 

The second one is from a Niamh Baly workshop - still have to add sentiments and embellishments.

I completed the Christmas card challenge at Beccy's Place ended up making more than 30 cards... this forms several posts if you scroll down... This was my last card: The nutcrackers were from Daphne's Diary.

I thought I would share the advent calendar now finished:

Fingers crossed I will visit you all this week... last week I had the Book Group dinner on Wednesday night followed by the virtual retreat which spanned Thursday to Sunday. I didn't have a lot of time for hopping!

All for now... 

Happy WOYWW!

Last Nine Days of Trovember

My trovember has ended up like this:

 This was day 21:

 I decided to join the November Trovember Challenge instigated by

Collage-Lab

I started with an A3 piece of substrate.

Day 22 - Add your favourite colour.

My favourite colour scheme is orange and teal. I decided to stamp circles with teal acrylic paint.

Day 23 - Add a map.

I found a map of Australia in an old atlas, cut it into several pieces and added them to the collage.

Day 24 - Add a number.

My number is comprised of several pieces from my stash.

Day 25 - Add something that beeps.

The figure pushing the button came from Extraordinary Things to Cut Out and Collage by Maria Rivans.

Day 26 - Add a sign.

The sign came from Extraordinary Things to Cut Out and Collage by Maria Rivans.

Day 27 - Add an occupation.

The musician came from Extraordinary Things to Cut Out and Collage by Maria Rivans.
