WOYWW #149
Happy WOYWW! Drop by Stamping Ground and Julia will tell you how you too can snoop around some of the awesome desks! Hope you had a great holiday and enjoyed time with friends and family. I fixed dinner and my daughter and her husband came to have dinner with us. I miss not having a big family any more cause I used to enjoy the times we got together to share and catch up on what was going on in our families.
Not a lot going on on my desk today. I did make a couple Easter cards but forgot to photograph them before sending them on their way. I have a bad habit of doing that! I bought some canvases yesterday to make wall decor for my kitchen and was going to gesso them tonight but ended up going over to my daughters and watching a movie.
I have been having fun playing with the VerDay Paints and Patina and seeing what I could do with them. Yesterday I took copper and brass metal and cut flower shapes out using Sizzix dies and the Big shot. After I cut them out I ran them through the Big Shot in an embossing folder, painted them with the VerDay Patina and let them sit over night. I love VerDay cause it actually oxidizes the paint (it has metal in it) and metals to such a beautiful color then when I used the grit block on them the polished up so nice!

Hi Vickie. WOW what an awesome workspace you have. Its so colourful and inspiring, with lots of your crafty tools right in front of you. I really must re-think my room. Having crafted for many years I have a cupboard full of goodies, which are stored reasonably well in labelled boxes. Its the two sets of storage drawers and the items around the floor that need to be stored in a more accessible way. TFS............Annie :)
ReplyDeleteIt takes a bad girl to know one, Vickie!! LOLOL. Thanks for your fun comment on my blog, it made me hoot :D

ReplyDeleteThat flower is very cool! I shall have to look for that product! Happy WOYWW #47
ReplyDeleteJust great flowers!
ReplyDeleteGreat desk fabulous flowers x
ReplyDeleteI do like the flowers, great paint..I like that it comes in more than one colour so you can kinda oxidise with control!! What's the plan for the kitchen then...differing sizes of canvas means you have an idea, and I'm intrigued. Mind you, I'd drop it all to watch a movie with my gal, too.
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in the flowers. Hope we see your kitchen art when its done.
ReplyDeleteYour metal flowers are really beautiful, and I would love to see how you intend to use them. Thank you for your visit and your kind comments. Have a great week. xx Maggie #2
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers Jacqui #111

ReplyDeletedx
Love your desk always seems so full of gorgeous stuff that I'd like to have a closer look at, rummage through. Love the flowers and the card/box on your next post. Never heard of Verday before. Thanks for visiting me last week. Anne x
ReplyDeleteThose flowers look great. Some canvases come pre-gessoed so maybe you won't have to do that? Have fun getting creative!
