Once again we are here to celebrate another Wednesday with Ms Julia and her faithful band of followers showing our desks whether in a state of utter chaos or tidiness - and maybe sharing a project or two. Do feel free to join us here.
My desk this week has yet another UFO on it, this time from a workshop I attended on Saturday at AftH with Sandra as the tutor. Sandra does lovely handwriting in her Journals and she was going to show us how to do something similar. It was good - she took me out of my comfort zone and made me write BIG.
Here is a peek at the work we did:
And the reason it has not been worked on this week, apart from the fact that I have been spending time with my other half is that I am going away at weekend to the Mixology Retreat with Andy Skinner (my fave Mr Rust/Skull/Steampunk/You Name It Man) and I have been adding some more touches to my hat. Sorry I am not showing you anything but one side - there is a story - I wanted to add some bullets but have not been successful in finding any, replica ones of course, and so I decided to make some from polymer clay. Not showing you! If you will pardon the terminology they look like golden 'willies'. Even had Shaz on the lookout for me - thanks Shaz and Doug, still no joy.
So I have added a bit of glass.
Two bulbs and a glass bottle
I will take some photos of it next week to share with you but don't want it to be on the internet until after Saturday. It does have rather a long feather on the other side but I stick that in at the last minute as I fear it might get bent.
Well, that is it, I will go and nurse my poor fingers that suffered with the awl putting the brads in the leather band. Might even be on the sewing machine later ... but what will I make?
See you soon.
