WOYWW #845

 


 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 #845.



In the middle front are some shakers that I have made for a swap. I forgot to photograph before I posted them off...

To the left there is a page in my loose-leaf journal. Alongside this you can just see part of an Art by Marlene stamp set - lovely textures - which is excellent for journal pages.

On Friday morning I got up early to join the UK Stampers Network Zoom Craft and Chat. Sheila ran the workshop - first she asked us all to suggest two colours, a technique and a theme. She then threw a dice to pick 4 items and we had to make something with these starting points.
The first group was Orange, Black, Stencil and Triangles. I made the following card:



The next group was pink, copper, washi and flora. I used these to make this journal page:


The final group was orange, mustard, stencil, leaves. I made another journal page:


As the workshop session is about an hour and a half, each make is very quick!

If I turn this page the next two are using Gecko Galz images:


I have been making cards using the faux tile technique. These are a couple of examples:






Nothing else to share in the craft line but this is our front garden  with the native plants coming on nicely...


This shows the back garden where Kevin is turning the veggie patch into a fine tilth. With a  bit of luck the weather will start to warm up and we will soon have things growing!!


So far there's only a kangaroo paw!


It is amazing however to see that this is how it was 4 years ago:


Happy WOYWW!

  1. That online workshop sounds a great idea, I bet there were all sorts of interpretations of the prompts! I like your orange and black Christmas card, very funky! Wow, what a difference in four years, you’ve worked so hard. You’ll have a veggie garden to be proud of.

  2. I have been doing loads of Zoom workshops and they really are everywhere. Nice, as you are not limited by location, no cost for travel or hotels, etc. Timing can be tricky but mostly it all works well. Your garden is a marvel, and I love the altered paintbrush. Just fab.
    Happy WOYWW!

  7. You do well to make as many lovely projects in such a short time with what I think are quite challenging prompts. I'm not sure I'd be able to keep up as I'm such a slow crafter. I enjoyed seeing the transformation your garden has gone through too. Have a great week. Elizabeth x #14
