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 #778

So here's my desk:


Rather a schmozzle!
I spent Thursday evening, Friday, Saturday and Sunday participating in a virtual retreat. I didn't stop so my craft room is a tip - then we had Ollie so tomorrow is tidy-time!
On my desk easel are three projects - the one at the bottom is found here. It was Anzac Day here last Thursday - Remembrance Day.

Above this is my page from Kay Halliwell-Sutton's workshop (IndigoBlu).
This involved using IndigoBlu's translucent paints.


and that from Tammy Porter



I will also share a handful more - but I have quite a few as well as the pre-retreat challenges!
Marlene from Art by Marlene workshop (using lots of Marlene's images.)


Niamh Baly's workshop using items from my stash.


Tracy Evan's workshop using stamps and a stencil from Tracy.



Jenny Curthoy's workshop using items from my stash.


 That's all for today - hope to call on you all soon... I'm afraid I had no time to comment last week!!

Although I am in Australia I am happy to swap Anniversary ATCs with anyone who would like to swap with me...

Happy  WOYWW!
