WOYWW 456

Hello and welcome fellow deskers on the last day of February,

We are all here thanks to our kind host Julia from The Stamping Ground.

My desk did see some more action then last week.

(apologies for the dark picture, forgot to turn on the lights)

I am currently working on this week's somethings, 

I prepared a masterboard 

which I will be cutting into 10x15cm pieces.

In the holder you see last week's somethings, 

which I kept fairly simple:

torn bookpages from a dictionary I used way back for the alpha/dictionary challenge over at The Craft Barn and some stamped images.

Here's a collage of all 7 of them,

want to see all 56, just click on the 365somethings tab above.

I also did manage to sit down and have a go on the grungy gelli printing,

here are some samples of that session

with this one being my absolute favorite.

What have you been up to?

I'll find out now as I make my way to all your wonderful desks.

thx for stopping by and have a lovely day, 

here it will be a very cold one.

For this week's somethings I kept it fairly simple,

I tore bookpages and added some stamped images to them,

simple but pretty nonetheless.

Hello and welcome,

Nothing much going on on my desk this week.

There is however a good explanation for that:

we have painters starting today with installing our ceiling in the living room/kitchen and painting everything so we needed to clear everything which took all of my time unfortunately.

The only thing I managed is to set up my desk to attempt the grungy gelliplate printing I saw last week on Susan’s desk

Also on my desk you can see the result of last week’s icads (10x15cm indexcards) still going strong with the 365 project.

Hop on over to Julia at The Stamping Ground http://stamping-ground.blogspot.nl/to see what other creative souls are doing.

43-49/365 somethings - bloom

Part of one of the Wanderlust 2018 lessons was to create a mandala style bloom, I was not completely happy with my first try, so I explored the concept some more on my icads this time.

I created a heartshape bloom, blooms out of maps, booktext, small blooms,...

I experience that the small format is enabling me to experiment more, be more free, go with the flow more and see what happens.

booktext bloom.

scrappaper bloom.

small vintage bloom.

roses bloom.

Don't know why but all of a sudden I seem to be working very dimensional as can be seen in this picture:

This will become one big fat book.

My craft room isn't messy

I just like to have everything on display.

On my desk is a pile of scraps which I am using for backgrounds for my next set of icads.

I am exploring the blooms some more from one of the wanderlust lessons.

In the picture holder I have my icads from last week at display.

My Path

I finished my first spread in my first Dylusions journal 

which I bought especially for Wanderlust 2018.

This is out of my comfort zone, 

not my usual style,

but a style I like and wish to explore more.

Can you guess the theme of this week's icads?

These Valentines icads were so much fun making,

the backgrounds were done very quickly,

no thinking involved there,

then came the process of looking for the perfect elements for each one of them.

I honestely can't tell which one is my favourite.

what about you?

I am very glad I choose the icads as format for this challenge,

manageble but yet so much fun and so much opportunities.
