Here's the biggest mess I've had in ages but it's a creative working mess. Experiments galore on my table this week as I am using every spare minute getting up to date with all I have to do. After a week away, enjoying family fun on the South Coast of England, I need to prep for a forthcoming dem day I am doing for Cardio in Wigan and also for the Art Specially show in Holland. I've also got another trip away to Germany planned before the Holland trip thus I need to get things ready in advance so there are no late panics.
Lots of ideas buzzing around my head but nothing yet complete for either but this is only the evidence of a play time before the serious craft prep begins tomorrow.
First I am thinking all things SPRING, as the dem day is before Easter, but I want to keep away from yellows and use fresh greens and blue.
Bear with me, I'll get there, I'm sure, and I'm having inky fun along the way.
I've tried the "photo from the heights" technique this week but it doesn't make it look any tidier. There is so much going on here and even more on all the other desks of the world. If you are curious to see the why, what and wherefores, then there'll be over 150 more at our dear Head of WOYWW for you to peruse and enjoy..... Julia can be found here at Stamping Ground but go early as there's always a rush as soon as it's opening time. You'll soon find out why!
That's it from me this week but I do want to play catch up and visit some of the desks I missed last week to see what you've all been up to.

I always think the high shots make it look more untidy but I do like your backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteThe bed is great and I am only a few miles away but yesterday was fun. Will be blogging it tomorrow, pop by. Ate too much at dinner in B di B's and no, not in Anaheim!

Wow, you have a busy life indeed! Love your desk today, Jo. So much colour - and looking out of the window at work it is all grey and dull again after a gorgeous day yesterday, so the more colour the better! Helen, 8
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed there is anything on your painty desk this week Jo as you seem to be so very busy 'doing other things'. You must have so many more hours in your day than most.
