Here is my workdesk:

Not much more on my desk from last week as we have been away from Thursday to Tuesday as it was the Labour Day weekend. However the cards on my score board are samples for a beginners card making class I am giving today.

I did the next page in my tiny pieces of art: This month the theme is Creepy Crawlies and this week Butterflies using flower stamps and cut outs. I used Tracy Scott's flower stamps.

That's all for today...

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

WOYWW #874

  

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 #874

Here is my workdesk:

To the left you can see my Gel plate as I am in the process of making some backgrounds.

To the right I am making some junk journal ephemera - sort of little slides.

On the desk easel there are two journal pages and on the smaller one that finished 30 prompt collage.

These both featured images from Conjurer of Dreams.

I also work on my computer desk and I thought I would also share that today.

I decided I needed a second screen - I always used to have one but it must have been disposed of in one of the moves. Very useful. You can also see my Cricut Maker and Joy. On the light box is my printer - it is currently pretty high up but will see how that goes...

That's all for today...

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

Addicted to Stamps and More #512 Christmas Challenge

 

  

Here's my Christmas project...for the Challenge #512 at Addicted to Stamps and More

My card uses a white card base, a mat of designer paper followed by an stamped image in Versafine Clair Nocturne on white. I picked this stamp up in a charity shop a few days ago.

 then added colour with makers.

 Hope you will enter the Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge! Do hop over to see the fabulous inspiration from my team-mates!

Happy Crafting!

More Collage Play

 Having finished another 30 Days of Collage

I decided to use my Art by Marlene tiny journal (4 by 4 inches) to do 6 Collages in 60 minutes - a free workshop by Collage -Lab.

These are my results:

1. Strata, neutral, tear.

2. Radial, Focal image.

3. Grid

4. Cruciform.

5. Landscape - back, middle, foregrounds.

6. Colour Palette - warm or cool.

Then I decided to do another 30 Days of collage:

These were the prompts also from Collage-Lab in 2024.

I started with an A3 piece of substrate and these are some of the photos of the process:

I saved the pages from my last two tiny calendars and used some of these to make my grid - prompt #1.

First seven prompts:

Second seven prompts:

Third seven prompts:

To the end!

Happy Crafting!
