What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? My main desk remains neglected and collecting junk. One day, one day... On the table by the sink, my "wet" desk, however, I'm glad to say I've made some progress on the teabag front. Stamping teabags with acrylic paint As suggested on a website I visited, I…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Not a great deal on mine... but I have been busy away from my desk. I've been feeling pretty rough with a cold which started over the weekend, and since I didn't feel much like doing anything else, I spent the time on the recliner cuddling up…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? A bit of a mixed bag this week! I have managed to do a bit of tidying in my studio. I've been doing some more experimenting with the bleaching of the teabags, sewn some more teabags, and made further progress on my slippers. I've had some problems…

WOYWW What's On My Workdesk Wednesday isn't much, but slight progress on last week! Here are my teabag stains on watercolour now that they are dry. They are ready for doodling on, or otherwise embellishing. In the meantime I've been working on my little eco project, and I'll blog about that once it's…
WOYWW - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday My desk on Tuesday evening. I have been drying teabags on watercolour paper again, in order to try some doodles on them. I did a post a couple of days ago about this. This is a new lot drying, and I don't want to move them…
My second post today. This afternoon, I made a birthday card, using one of my watercolour doodled birds. I began by measuring and drawing some lines as cutting guides so that I could separate the birds. Then I could use them in projects. The birds after I had cut them out. This is…
