What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 87

I did specifically place the roses in the shot (photographer speak!!) so that, after last week, you can see the results so far from the Crafty Notions mould, me, and Fimo. And it's a boost too, because I know what I'm going to use them for now, so baby steps and three weeks, maybe a result! Colour me red and surprised, the rest looks a bit valentine-y, but that actually, wasn't the intention at all. It must be subliminal! The terracotta dish on the glass mat is only about an inch deep and had some water in it whilst I fiddled about with stamping onto wet watercolour paper. That was yesterday and the water's dried up.....so has the idea. The BG pad is a small one that I've had for a while and decided that it won't scare me if I look at it for a long time. I shall in theory, get sick of it and use it! Check back with me about this theory. And here's a close up of the roses so far.........because I thought a two photo desk would be a delight this dull dark Wednesday early morning!
Join us do - show us a picture of your works surface; clean, tidy, messy, filthy. However. Upload to your blog, tell us briefly what you're doing and link here so that we can all come round for a jolly good rummage. I thank you.

  2. The roses are what you were baking last week? I like them and yep, they look Valentiney to me! I am trying to get over the 'save new papers' thing and make something within a week or two... because there will always be more new papers!! ;)

  82. I love those roses. They are so Valentiney but also Summery at the same time. We need to think about Summer to get us out of this rain. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  83. I've always thought of Fimo as being a great big faff, but those roses are jolly nice.

    Right then missus, my atg & tape runners. OK, I admit it, I'm possibly still in the transitional period and not quite there with the big pink beast! I use the ATG for larger pieces but can never be that accurate with it so use the runners for smaller bits. I promise I will try harder, honest!!

    ReplyDelete
  84. ooh, nice roses. I have fimo but never know what to do with it, using moulds are a great idea.thanks

  92. I hope I'm not too late...with the storm our dial-up was worse than usual..none of the links showed up! I love your roses, and I'll have to try your paper pad theory, as getting sick of it will be the only way I can break the hording hold!

    ReplyDelete
  93. As I was reading your post, my brain was going to fast to register what I was reading and at first I thought you had made the roses from terracotta and I kept wondering, "How did she do that?". Silly me, after re-reading more slowly I realized they were made using a mold and Fimo. They did turn out very lovely! TFS, ~Shari #103
