What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday - #163

or 162, whatever.

OK yeah, I admit it, I have tidied up a bit for the photo. But if I hadn't there wouldn't have been much to look at other than a pile of random stash. (Nothing new there then).

Bernice's ATCs

First of all I want to show this beautiful set of ATCs from a new blogging and trading friend Bernice of 'all thing inky'. Bernice is a relatively new blogger but I think you'll love her work - please do pop over and say 'hi!'. These ATCs are stunning, aren't I a lucky bunny to get a trade?

Mermaid ATCs and case - off in the post today!!

So I have been working on something special to send back and I have made this set of hand painted mermaid ATCs. I had a few problems with the faces (not my strong point) especially as the format is quite small but I am reasonably happy with the way they rurned out.  I started a couple of slide mailers as well - tying to practice!! I certainly had fun getting all inky and painty this week but I do wonder if I should have just left the faces blank as this is quite 'on trend' at the moment. What do you think? Would this work? 

To add features, or not to add features?

So what's new on your desk this week? There's a whole crowd of us who'd like a look! Pop over to Julia Dunnit's Stamping Ground and join in. Leave a message here and I'll definitely stop by.

Happy WOYWW!!

WOYWW # 158

It's here. It's Wednesday. Are you ready?
So what exactly is on YOUR workdesk this Wednesday?

(Don't you love how my  ribbons are escaping from their shelf?)

I haven't got a lot of craft to show, what I have been doing is still a bit secret squirrel so you will have to wait. In the interim I have been having a bit of a tidy. Here is one of my new ATC displays, including some of the ATCs I got for the WOYWW third anniversary swap - how cool was that? Actually not so much a new display as a replacement for the extremely loopy piece of string I used to have. Now they are hanging from an only slightly loopy rod made from kebab sticks bound together with double sided tape. Oh well, it whiled away an hour.






Here's my other other ATC display. You've seen this before, but I've swapped in some new ones. (But I also kept some favourites!)




and the piece de resistance........

I only posess four of the distress 'handles' but nearly all of the inks and it's been driving me crazy trying to find a way to keep all the different colour pads in some kind of order. I saw something similar on Neil Walker's blog a while ago so promptly ordered myself some velcro dots and when I had a minute did this and my little pads are all now grouped in colour families (well most of them are new ones!!) and can be easily swapped over and stored. I also decided to keep one handle for Black Soot and one for Antique Linen as I use these the most. I have room in my little box for two more which I'll pick up when I see them and that should do me. You just can't believe how much difference this simple thing has made to me.
Oh well little things......

Anyhow if you don't know what WOYWW is then get yourself over to Julia Dunnit's 'Stamping Ground' and join in this weekly bloghopping phenomenon. Visit two or two hundred, it's all a bit of friendly fun. Leave me a comment and I will definitely pop by and see you but it may be late as I am working today. I freely admit I have never yet got even near getting round the whole list (kudos to  those that do!!) but I do my best each week.

and now I have to go , hey ho hey ho it's off to work I go.....

Happy WOYWW, Cindy x
