WOYWW 204

Wednesday again! Welcome to my happy, messy place of stash!!  Rock my Box in the foreground is a definite in-progress piece.  I was threatening to take Mr Lizard off and sand the top right back earlier this week but a judicious purchase of Onyxite Treasure Gold and five minutes of application has rescued the him. I think I will let Mr Lizard live another day in his rocky domain!!

 This is to the left of Mr Lizard - a semi completed Book of Ruination..........(liking the jaunty angle of the lamp shade lol!)

And this is to the right!  Another Book of Ruination sitting on top of my (almost) complete Rock my Book (I need to tidy up the inside where there were some paint 'leaks' for want of a better word!).  Oops! Just realised the desk is littered with used wet-wipes and kitchen roll!  They'll get tidied away before I post next week! 

And Finally......

Ta-Dah!! A close up of one of the 'holes' in the rock!!  No pics of my OHs CD rack this week as I've posted a separate piece just featuring him earlier in the week.  He's now in the process of finishing.  All the glue marks are sanded away, any flaws filled and he's now waxing and polishing!

Thanks for looking!  I'm off to look at other WOYWWs!

Bye bye from me x

WOYWW 203

Wednesday already! Yikes!
First is a completed birthday card for a (male) friend's  40th made using Donna's stamp.  I think Donna needs to design a similar stamp with a man's face!  The Stampers Anonymous numbers were stamped semi-randomly on to tissue papers using a Brilliance ink pad with silver, bronze and black inks in the one pad. This layer was added to the brown card stock using Glue 'n' Seal.  The tissue paper stretched slightly so the card has (age-related?) wrinkles!!

Then my semi-finished books of ruination!  I'm so pleased with how these turned out that I'm taking my time in thinking of how to finish the sides and interiors.....

Following my al fresco crafting day in the sun on Sunday I have a quarter of the dining room table as a work desk again!  The beginnings of my 'Rock My Book'  (they are halfway to making it back on to my proper desk!!)

And finally...........................

Ta-Dah!! The OH's contribution!  He really is a clever old stick!  Really beginning to take shape now.

Anyway, thank you for looking!  I'm off to look at some WOYWWs!

Ooh Just remembered.....Please can I enter the card for:

 Sunday Stampers Week 254 - Paper

Crafty Emblies - Anything goes

Bye bye from me x

Sunday Specials number 3......

Creating al Fresco!

It was such a lovely sunny day that my work desk became the little table in the back garden today!!!

 Preparing the surfaces of my book and boxes for the 'Rock My Book' online workshop.  Look! Blue sky!!

Stage 2 - selecting my steampunk parts for the holes in the rock.  Then I raided the OH's shed for some serious metal!!

That's all for now - I must away and put the spaghetti on for tea.

Bye bye from me x

WOYWW

I said it would happen!  I said I would post!

'Old' work desk.... (still almost a WOYWW as that's my husband's latest make in the background - it's a cabinet he's building to hold our music system and 600 CDs!!)

And new room of stashly things!!!

The three boxes are my 'Book of Ruination' project and OMG - I love the 'alien skin' technique! (Thank you Andy Skinner!) The stamps are out because I'm also making a birthday card for a friend (why work on one thing when you can work on 4??)  I've also spotted another book waiting to be altered lurking in the bottom left corner!

Right, I'm off to look at some WOYWWs!

Bye bye from me!
