 It's What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, time for a peek at each other's desks and projects! We are now sharing through Sarah, at Sarah's Craft Shed.

Hello! I have been working in my new and improved art room, it so nice! Just a few minor fixes. 

Here is my desk this morning. I have been very good at putting things away!

Here is what I have been working on this week (and some from last week).

Last week first:

I found this gorgeous shrine when I was cleaning my room, it was made by Christine Palmer many years ago. I had to use it! And I have had that pointy hand for years and years...good thing I didn't toss it!

I wanted to finish my Donna Downey journal that I started many years ago, and I had just bought a Collage Soup book, and I had again, found this "house" I had made many years ago and decided it needed to be used. So this page started with the house. The butterflies were added to the house.

And here is what I worked on this week: This is the DDowney journal - I'm sure some of you even have this one!

These are my last pages. I used some Collage Soup images here as well.

And it's all done!

I also did a couple of pages in my fabric book for Fodder School 1 

and a page in my tiny journal (about 3" tall)

And I finished making my new JIYA Journal, which is a bit smaller than my previous two, and has all white pages

Well, that's it for me, as you can see, I had to make up for the month I was not making anything!

I hope everyone has a wonderful creative week, Inky and Mittsy are so excited for Spring to finally come this month!

 Another Wednesday, time for a peek at each other's desks and projects! If you would like to learn more, just go to http://www.stamping-ground.blogspot.ca/p/what-is-woyww.html. Maybe you could join our little group!

I am having a terrible time downloading photos from my phone to my computer, very frustrating. I can get some of my photos but not all, and the ones I'm missing are the ones I need for this post😡Grr!

Two weeks ago I twisted my ankle, and it was very sore, but my DD and Jasper were visiting, so I ignored it the best I could.  I have been trying to get it to heal for the past 1 1/2 weeks, and today it feels almost back to normal. 😃

I have been getting some art done, and I joined the Fodder School Challenge 2023 which started yesterday. I'm posting on Instagram, so if you want to see what I did for Day 1 you can go to @Lindart61. If you want to join, it is free, go to https://willa-workshops.teachable.com/p/fodder-challenge-2023 It was through this challenge in 2021 that I got involved with Fodder School!

I can't even leave you with a cute photo of Jasper when she was visiting 😞.

Hoping you all are enjoying your summer so far, and hopefully I will have the photo problem figured out by next week.

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is happy and well today! 

Here are two pics to start us off today:

Yesterday and today...it has begun. 

Here is my desk this morning:

I have been working on collage fodder all month, and finally got to put my project together! The lighting is yellowy because it is on the wall next to my bedroom lamp, which gives it the yellow glow. It took me awhile to like this, but now, after walking by it many times, it has grown on me! I do like it now!

Completed, top close up, middle close up and bottom close up. The feather fell off of a trick-or-treater's costume on Halloween, I saved it for this!

I am now working on little collages to add to journal pages, books, or maybe another collage canvas, which I have already prepared, ready to go!

This has been a fun project, next I will start on my new Art Journal from my new workshop before I delve into the next Fodder School lesson. And I will make more of the tiny collages. FUN!!

Here is Mittsy on the porch wondering what all this cold icky white stuff is, and why is it so cold????

I haven't see any kitty prints in the snow yet!

 Inky and Mittsy say "Meow" and I say "I hope everyone has a lovely week!" Until next week, stay warm!

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying the fall colours, we certainly are. But it's also getting so cold the cats think twice about going outside in the mornings. I love Fall, I dislike cold. I'm already looking forward to Spring! I've been collecting a few leaves on my walk, so that I can make some art on them. If I am successful I will show you!

Here is my desk this morning. I am pressing the leaves I picked up yesterday.

And here is Monday when I was doing some marks using styrofoam meat trays that I had inscribed onto. I used my Grandmothers very fancy pen that doesn't work to inscribe! This was step four I believe in this process that I am doing for Fodder School. The next step uses the teas that I made for dying the fabrics, which is why you can see the jar of tea in today's picture.

That's about it for today, short and sweet! I leave you with a lovely photo my SIL took on Thanksgiving weekend - 3 generations!

Our 38th wedding anniversary is tomorrow - boy, time flies!

Have a wonderful week, we are closing in on 700! Ink and Mittsy say "meow!" (Mittsy has located a mouse under the stove, and we are now in the process of getting rid of it, either by live-trap or Mittsy, whichever comes first. Isn't Fall fun!)
