What's on your Work Desk Wednesday #884

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 #884

Here is my workdesk:

Ollie has just been picked up by his Mum and Dad so I am only just catching up with my post... You can see my desk with my 17th Anniversary ATC at the front.

We are all thinking of Neet and send my condolences to all who knew her well...

This is my ATC:

The traditional anniversary 17th Anniversary gift is furniture along with citrine and carnelian gems. So I added a comfy chair along with the sentiment 'Come in and take a seat...'

Although I am in Australia I am happy to swap if anyone would like to swap with me... please email me

The only thing I am going to share is my journal page which I made after watching an Art by Marlene workshop.

Nice to see you all on WOYWW... I did manage to get round to some of you last week but I hope I do better this week.

These used images from Pretty Bird Collage Set

A journal page:

I recently participated in a workshop by Jo-Firth Young and this gave me the idea of windows opening to see the colourful images beneath:

My background comprises book paper collage, white ink drips and splatter. I printed the images in grey scale for this and used Tim Holtz birdcage die cuts with punched tabs.
