What's on yours?

WOYWW 116 & PPF25

Started a project that's been on my mind for awhile....
Inspired by Lynne Hoppe whose blog posts are always a delight!

Began with this book I found for a buck on a Saturday yard sale venture...

 I knew I would be using the pages in artwork...the cover for a journal .... so started with the Letter "A" last eve....

A smear of gesso on the "A" pages then toted colored pencils and sharpie poster paints to the bedroom where I played around before drifting off to dreamland...

Meet "Agnes"!  I like seeing all the "A" words and those little mice that appeared in her hair...I even like her unique nose:)
"Agatha" will be joining her soon as her page partner tonight right before dreamland....pretty sure she'll have her own unique features too..

More from yesterday's post about this piece I made at Art Unraveled taught by the amazing Jen Cushman......

Easy peasy open backed bezel made with paper, a charm and Ice Resin mixed with glitter...

Don't know if you can see the bubble?
Can easily fix it by drilling into it with a dremel tool, then refilling with resin...If I wanna...

I made the bail too....
"annealed" metal with a torch, formed it around a dowel, drilled with a dremel....
(I'm no longer a torch/dremel virgin = tool shopping later  Thanks to JEN!)

We made "resin paper" with the Ice Resin - then rolled into beads for our necklaces......

We made all of our headpins, connections and Jen shared her coveted rosary bead purchase with the class too....
She's the BEST!

The other side of the bezel....
My text did not get completed immersed....

But no worries....
Just add more Ice Resin!

I'll be busy "resinating" with some of that great paper my husband brought back from Taiwan 

(soon to be included in my Collage Candy Kits), 

and bought Jen's book for quick reference you can find here along with her teaching schedule and lots more info on this technique too....

In the meantime, have fun exploring other Wednesday workdesks around the world hosted by Julia at The Stamping Ground and tomorrow I'll post about the class I took with Mary Beth Shaw:)

Frieda is sporting a bumblebee in her foxgloves...
Got to work on getting that to show up a bit more..
And some tweaks along the way....
More outlining detail on the foxgloves and more skin tone layers...
In the meantime...Cheers....

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Going from a PC to a Mac has been challenging this week...

No energy left for the art desk between brain overload here....

 and lots of sweaty gardening...

making new water features....

and taking lots of inspiring photos from the garden to share

Hope your workweek has been as good as mine.

WOYWW & The Kathryn Wheel

My Workdesk at home is in COMPLETE disarray....Still
But I wanted to share my Kathryn Wheel May Journal Calendar that I'm working on...

If, you're not familiar with The Kathryn Wheel, You're in for a treat when you stop by her blog.

Ending with a couple of peeks from my hotel room when visiting Art and Soul last week...

You have no idea how messy it got in there...how long it took me to pack it up ...and how many times I could NOT find what I was looking for....and how many things I'd wish I'd brought from home during a class...
For More Desks from Around the Globe...visit Julia here


See you there...I'm very late!
