What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 131

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the season, please hold the family of Sarah Lawrence in your hearts.  Sarah died suddenly, last Friday.  You will know her from WOYWW; and appearances on TV and at major craft events for Crafty Notions - she was the fun, bursting with ideas and enthusiasm for mixed media person that we all want to be.  I didn't know her personally, but that doesn't make any difference.  I do know that the world in which we all blog, craft and share is a poorer one without her. 

 Detritus is what's on my work desk this Wednesday.  No glass mat and nothing that reflects what I'm intending to make next.  All the useful stuff is still packed in my tote after Sunday's crop and my desk has become a wrapping area and general dumping ground.  Soon rectify that though.  Got things to make so I can cross them off lists!  
Sure had you going with this last week. G3 is in fact the blog nick name of Lunch Lady Jan's younger son.  So I've decorated them with some references to his interests and hope he can find somewhere to prop them in his room. After all, he may need reminding who he is.  Politically, some of you were a bit off the mark..it's actually G20 these days!

    Had my panic over no Mr Linky - re your comment about Sarah - yes the crafting world will be poorer for her missing from it. Her smile and cheery chat always lit up the room. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

    Mr. Linky gone AWOL today? Your desk looks about like mine :). A bit of a list maker myself and on paper, not computer!

    What sad news. I do think I've seen Sarah's work.

    I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed this actually appears. So unpredictable with my tries.

    Hello,

    I was not familiar with Sarah but did check out her blog and will go back to view her posts in respect to her life. Her work was beautiful. It is sad to see her last posts of losing her voice and thinking it was the 'first wave of winter chill bugs' and now she is gone. She shared so much talent with everyone.

    I love the end results of your project - I am sure that he will love it! You take care. Wishing you a happy week!

    I'm sorry to hear of fellow blogger and crafty woman Sarah.

    I'm hoping to link up to WOYWW in the next coming weeks. I'm in the United States so am wondering if I could post on Tuesday evening? Also, I'm new to the whole linking up thing so any guidance would be VERY helpful!

    Your desk is looking a bit sorry for itself I would say, needs a bit of that Fushia Pink staz on to liven things up!!! hee hee after those fab bright orange G3 appeared well its looking at tad dull!! great works of art, he will be delighted, Happy Crafting, Sue xx

    Such sad news about Sarah. My thoughts and best wishes go out to her family and friends.
    Thank you for your visit today - I am trying not to panic too much but there seems so much to do, and Wednesdays are taking over the week. Maggie #34 (I remembered my number this time)

    I love the continuity of seeing a project take shape over the weeks -- the G3 is looking pretty cool.

    How funny is that, I saw the G3 last week and wondered what it was and the things I came up with were a pun on a gentlemen free zone or short for geoffrey. Have a lovely day. Laura

    Sorry to hear about Sarah. At such a sad time of year for her family too.
    I like the Christmas look on your blog.
    Apologies for missing last week, but I did not think it was fair of my not to visit and I knew I would not get to the desks. Missed you all though.

    Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog, Julia. I haven't tried this technique straight onto a black mirror - the stamping wouldn't show up unless I embossed it, and I think the pearlescent inks might not be strong enough, and I don't think the glass bead gel medium would be as effective. The picture doesn't really do it justice, but the bead gel medium really sparkles over the mirror card! I've used these mirrors for loads of other techniques too - they're on my blog - and still more ideas up my sleeve!

    Glad you liked the tribute I wrote about my uncle. I'm thinking of printing it out and giving it to my aunt. I just wish I had a few more photos to put in - most of my old ones are in a box somewhere or other!!

    The antisocial hours I keep are due to my M.E. which really disrupts one's sleep patterns. I'm frequently wide awake at 4 a.m. and have to force myself to go to bed - and then don't wake up till after 10 a.m.!! I upload my WOYWW post after midnight on the Wed. and then come down as early as I can make it, all bleary eyed, to log on to WOYWW and then go back to bed again lol!

    Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and commenting! So funny you should mention that, I thought the same thing! I thought that maybe a crazy woman (she's not, lovely actually) had sent me pictures of a stuffed dog to do a portrait of! Thankfully she sent enough pictures to see this amazing little button with his tongue hanging out. Too cute for words! Thanks for stopping by for WYOWW!

    My Christmas has been a challenge this year...trying to 'upcycle' what normally would be thrown out.
    Sorry to hear about your friend. It's especially hard to bear such a loss so close to Christmas.
    This is my first link to your WOYWW.
