WOYWW #877

     


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 #877

Here is my workdesk:


I was Gelli printing...


I used one piece as the background for my next page in my tiny pieces of art: This month the theme is Creepy Crawlies and this week Beetles. This time I have used hand drawn and water coloured leaves, stickers and splatter


I have also been making some ephemera for a junk journal. This little folio has a middle pocket for some journalling cards. The one you can see features a freebie image from Gecko Galz last month - it was on my desk but I didn't get around to using it!!


On Sunday I did a live for a junk journaling group I belong to. I made another of those notepad folios. Here are some stills from my live:



Also at the weekend we went to a church ukulele gathering where Kevin was playing. He won the raffle - a lager phone. Here is Ollie testing it out.


In the background you can see I had just brought in some toilet rolls. It seems that they might be in short supply as well as the exorbitant petrol...

That's all for today...

Happy WOYWW! I promise to get around all of you this week... hopefully it won't be too late.

The theme this month is Sea Horse Ride.


I used the ATC backs on scraps of blue card and then the images and sentiment.

The next one is my favourite.


I will link these to the challenge.

Inside is a notepad (picked up in a charity shop) amd pockets for stamps and a bookmark.
