WOYWW 200 My Crafty Space

Hi Everyone,

Where has this week gone? One minute we were all looking forward to Easter, and before we know it all the chocolate eggs have been eaten and we are looking forward to Summer and warmer weather mmm! least said about the weather the better! So swiftly moving on, here we are Wednesday again the day we all have a snoop around each others desks courtesy of our lovely host Julia, visit here to find out how to join in the fun.

 On my desk I am still working on my hearts for my stall my crackle ones are still in the process but scroll down for a closer view of a couple of the others. You can also see some mini wooden bunting. As promised last week, the next photo gives you a wider view of my craft room.  Above the desk you can see my inspiration board where I have a couple of projects made and given to me by fellow blog friends amongst some of my own favourites. The photo to the left of this is me and Tim Holtz taken on a workshop last year.The plastic drawer tower and small drawer set on top hold my embellishments, glues, cards/envelopes, punches etc.  The tall wooden drawer unit next to that holds all my various card sectioned into colours and in the case of white, weight and texture.  I was very lucky to have acquired this unit off my Dad who used it in his office for his accounts for as long as I can remember.  Dad was a joiner by trade and I am not sure if he actually made this unit, but it is quite possible.  The pigeon holes above the unit hold all my big z dies and embossing folders, you can see my cuttlebug and Big Shot not far away.  The white folders on the top shelf are my copies of Craft Stamper from 2010-present and all the stamps that go with them are stamped on the front of the folder, so I can see at a glance what is in each folder. My other stamps are in the copper folders on the next shelf down. The shelves below that are wooden boxes/mirrors etc to be used in future workshops.


The next photo takes us a bit further around. All those really useful boxes in the centre are holding ribbons,mountboard pieces, canvases, paper flowers, leaves and beads, workshop cards and envelopes, and stationery items. The top 2 shelves to the left are various maps and books belonging to my DH below that my radio cricut and a couple of printers trays awaiting altering.
You just get a glimpse of my sewing machine which is another story of what I am up to at the moment (read more about this here).

 This little heart was first painted with eco paints. Texture paste through a mask and then the sea and the beach were heat embossed using vintage frantage embossing powder.  The sentiment is stamped on shrink plastic. 

 

The Beside the Sea heart was stamped and coloured with eco paints and the Home is wherre the heart is heart  has been given a wash with 2 eco paint colours, stamped trees and wooden houses.  The path and flower borders were hand painted.  Both sentiments are stamped on shrink plastic.

Right enough from me I have over stayed my welcome I am sure with my not so short post SORRY JULIA! but hope you enjoyed a good nosey into my little world. I am off now to have a mooch around a few other desks before my weekly workshops (flitter glu and gilding flakes today) and when I return I will catch up with as many more as I can. I will visit all who leave a comment with me and I will leave a comment with you too. Have a great day.  
Hugs Mo x
