What's on your Workdesk Wednesday? #631

WOYWW    

Wednesday again, so I am linking to the Stamping Ground.


 My picture for WOYWW #631 shows that I was spinning again and have yet to tidy away.
These were my results - some index card size, some ATC size.



I mentioned velveteen stamping last week - basically either over stamping or stencilling upon a white ink on white card stamped background. If you want to know more please pop back on Friday when I have a post scheduled illustrating it.
Also , if you want to see the flip though of my album which I also mentioned last week, that is here:


~~~~~~~~

I have managed to catch up on two journal pages: Wanderlust 25 and 27 - still working on 26!



~~~~~~~~

Yesterday we went to the National Gallery of Victoria to see an exhibition of Impressionist paintings. Too many to mention but I will just share one...


Outside the gallery they were some light displays - which I really liked


And then on South bank the iconic statue:


This was the first time we had been into the city for ages!!

Happy WOYWW !!

  1. I do love the results of your salad spinner technique! Does it get very messy? I know that if I tried it, there would be paint EVERYWHERE! How lovely to be able to go to an exhibition, things a re gradually opening up here too but we haven’t been to one yet.

  3. I have a battery powered spinner, but when I tried to use it, the papers kept coming off the holder. I love, love yours.

    I enjoyed your flip book. Lots of great techniques, too. I have a print of that Van Gogh painting you shared. He is my favorite Impressionist. Nice sculpture, too. Happy WOYWW from #2.

  6. I'm actually in the market for a salad spinner - but only for spinning salad LOL! I can see how it would work with paint too! Love your Mermaid book and the new journal pages (especially the first one) and that exhibition looks interesting! Have a happy week! xx zsuzsa #22

  9. your spinner art is beautiful - and contains all that mess nicely!! what a great idea. Love your wanderlust pages, too. It seems to have been a cracking year for Wanderlust this year - of course I didn't sign up this time as was disappointed the last one I did. hey ho.... glad you got out and about, fab pics. The mermaid album is fab!! have a good week. HELEN #8

  10. It always amazes me what we can use to make our mark, you've done a grand job with that salad spinner. Fab catch up pages with the wunderlust course. I don't think there's enough hours in the day/week/year for me to ever catch up with things. I'm envious of your visit to the NAV it's been a while i've stepped foot in any, great gallery.

  11. Hi there. Love the results with the salad spinner. As I've recently bought a new one I might not try it out with paint.
    Thanks for lovely ATC, yours is on its way. So sorry for the delay. Take care Anne x 29

  12. Love your spun cards. I agree with LLJ, if I tried it, the mess would be everywhere!
    So glad you had a visit into town. Is that a Van Gogh in your gallery? It’s a beautiful painting
    Take care and have a good week
    Hugs

  13. Making note to pop back tomorrow for the velveteen stamping info. Sounds quite interesting for sure! The spun art looks fab too. I am considering upgrading my (ancient) one for a newer design so I might have a go one day if I do.


    So very late this week!

  14. Your spinning painting is amazing, Susan, but the high spot for me this week was your exquisite little mermaid book. I have fallen in love with this! I love anything to do with the sea, and it is just magical. I've left a comment on your YouTube channel. You are inspiring me to start making books again!

    I wasn't sure how many blogs I'd manage to visit this week because I'm going into hospital tomorrow, but I am glad I settled down this evening to catch up with as many as I could, because otherwise I'd have missed this.

    Happy belated WOYWW,

  17. Hi Susan, thank you for your return visit, and you are more than welcome re the comments! You are one talented lady!

    Thank you for your good wishes for my recovery. I am doing very well - better than I expected. I am looking forward very much to getting back into my revamped studio and beginning to play with the ToDo.

  18. Hi Susan, I love the salad spinner art - what a fab idea but I know I'd get covered in it if I tried anything like that! Love the journal pages and it's great that you went to the art exhibition, it's been such a long time since we were able to do anything 'normal' it seems.
    Sorry I'm so late, I had a few poorly days but am fine now and need to do some catching up - you reminded me about it!!
