What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 330

Hello and welcome. Last day of month nine already! It hasn't stopped my Christmas card making (I'm saying that word a lot now!), but I have been a bit side-tracked, it's probably temporary.
I'm having some fun with some Autumnal naturals. Working in three dimensions is very challenging so I'm expecting y'all to be very kind when you see what I'm making. Aren't the skellington leaves lovely, such beautiful colours. You can just see the first fix of a Bah humbug card too...still walking around it, certainly don't think it's a finished card yet. I haven't actually been using those pieces of sponge (Cut n Dry foam) that you see littering and loitering in front of their tin. Slovenly. The blue burlap, pegs and wax paper are all together too - pegs holding a sheet into a shape whilst glue sets, the wax paper was to protect the 'mould' from all the glue. No idea if it will work yet.
Show us what sensible things are going on at your work desk will ya? Link your WOYWW post here and wait for us...it takes time!

I asked my ladies to vote on Christmas cards (or not) for the first session in October. So far I have two saying "yes", two saying "no" and two who don't mind. I guess I have the casting vote. Hmm....

HeARTworks said...

Not sure if my Shibori is sensible or not but I hope that the results will be great!!! My mother used to make pine cones into flowers by sticking the seeds into a dried sunflower center. Lots of color on your desk today!!!! patsy

Neet said...

Gosh, you are all busy getting ready for workshops and I have nothing on the horizon except demo'ing this weekend at a show. I ned something to spur me on so hopefully a bit of die cutting (I am not a die cutter I am a stamper) will spur me on.
Love those skeleton leaves - not seen them that colour range.
Have a great 'whatever you are doing' and look forward to seeing it in all its glory. I can only think it is a decoration of some sorts (Halloween?).
Hugs, Neet 6 xx

Annie said...

An autumnal 3D creation? Now I'm really curious.....hope we get a show and tell when it's finished.
Have a great week creating.
Hugs,

Lynsey said...

I love the autumnal colours Julia, they look so beautiful and warm. Autumn is my favourite time of year. Your desk looks very busy! :D but fantastic Lyns x

Kristiina said...

A lovely busy desk, it's funny how things pile up on us... and when you know what's in the pile, it doesn't feel as bad a clutter :)
Happy woyww!

Morning Julia. Did you say Sensible Things on our desks?? Daren't show you the REAL state of mine - nothing sensible in the great heap of left-shove, new printer still to find a proper home, notebooks, general dumping ground clutter.... Oh well. I'll get around to tidying soon - maybe.
Looking forward to the autumnal 3D finished item. Have this wonderful picture in my mind of a towering sculpture of leaves, pinecones, branches..... Great thing, imagination, hey??
Take care. God bless.

Sue Jones said...

looking forward to the finished result- lovely to do something different. I STILL haven't made any C cards!!! Mine will have to be very simple when I get round to doing them!

Lunch Lady Jan said...

I know, I know *jumps up and down*........you're making a tag for WOYWW CROP2 BPD :-)
Am I right??

Diana Taylor said...

I love those leaves, I haven't seen them in those gorgeous colours before, and I also love the Bah Humbug card - I know several people that would suit! Hope you have a great week,

Lynn Holland said...

Talking autumnal I've woken to a thick fog this morning. Let's hope it's a sign of sunshine pushing through later.
What a full of good stuff desk you've got Julia.
Have you any idea where would be the best cheapest place to buy six glue guns. The best I've come up with is some small hot ones for £6.50 each incl pp
Have a good week

Mrs.D said...

Morning Julia, just love the colours of those skeleton leaves, not seen them in those colours.
I'm afraid my cones get piled into a pretty bowl, with a few Christmas tree baubles, a bit of tinsel and that is the limit of my creativity with them so I look forward with interest to see what beautiful artistic creation you make.

Twiglet said...

Very autumnal here today and not so sunny but I am going to see Annie for coffee and that little ray of sunshine will brighten any day!! Don't forget to show us your 3D pine cone creation - I'm thinking hedgehog?!! x Jo

misteejay said...

Lots going on there Julia. Will be interesting to see the results of the pine cones.

Barb said...

Your desk looks very busy today. I'm keen to see what you are going to make and who are you going to poke with the stick. I'm pleased to be able to join in again this week. Barbxx

Sue said...

Hi Julia, I love the skeleton leaves.

Well you have a lovely day. Sue

Felix the Crafty Cat said...

Hi Julia, I am hoping to see what you do with the skeleton leaves as I have lots of them but not sure what I should do with them so you must show when you've made something. Have a great woyww and happy crafting, Angela x 27

Unknown said...

I never knew the name of those leaves, now I know! Nice to see a desk full of fall instead of Christmas. Allistair would have fun playing with all those pine cones on your desk. He would knock them off then proceed to play soccer with them; never to be seen again until Spring cleaning! I use freezer paper (white paper on a roll with a plastic coating on one side)for gluing. The glue always seems to stick to the wax paper.

Shoshi said...

A very colourful desk, Julia. I love the skelleton leaves, and the project wrapped up with the pegs looks most intriguing!

Happy WOYWW,
Shoshi #30

Sylvia/LittleTreasures said...

Oh Julia, loving the colors of the Skellington leaves. Never heard of them or seen them..So google came to mind...here is a site that shows how to make them, (if time permits) http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Skeleton-Leaves also went to : Images skellington and a huge display of lovely comes up .....I learn alot here. Wish I was closer to attend a class
The way time is flying by for me the past 2 months Christmas will be here in my world in 2 weeks. I'm no where near ready. Have a wonderful week and a fun WOYWW

Christine said...

Love the busy desk!

Changed my mind :)
Ah wax paper. Love that stuff. And hummm.. leaves and pinecones? Looks like fun. Hope we will get to see the final product!

alifefullofpassion said...

Your desk looks like so much fun! My mind is going crazy with ideas just by looking at all your goodies :)

Glenda said...

Your space just enchants me no matter what is going on here. Those large windows just captivate me and make me want to stop and watch what is going on outdoors! No windows today but I'm anxious to see what you do with pine cones!

Unknown said...

You have a really busy desk. Those leaves a beautiful, I LOVE the colors. I can't wait to see what you do with them and the rest of your autumn supplies. #35

Unknown said...

Wax paper, pine cones...there's no stopping you now! Wish I could take a workshop with you on working in three dimensions. I'm not quite as creative with my card making as I am with other things. Today I need to make a wedding anniversary card with a theme of those 33-1/3 record albums. I'm going to use an actual record album, and I have no idea what to do! sigh. Hugs! Sandy Leigh

Zsuzsa Karoly-Smith said...

I have trouble with 3 dimensionals too! It will be interesting to see how you get on with the pine cones. Perhaps you can give up some tips next time! I've got some skeleton leaves lying around somewhere too - I bought them last year to use them on the gelli plate. Forgot all about them - I don't even know where they are! Happy Wednesday, Julia!

Elizabeth said...

Well, I am curious of what you're making.
It looks good!

My 'galajurk" for my granddaughter is finished...as you see on my blog.
Have a nice day.

Whimcees said...

Hello!

You are a busy woman! I love this time of year to make Fall and Halloween projects! Wishing you a happy day!

Hugs,

Barbara Diane

Kim said...

OK..looks like serious stuff going on...cant wait to see what you do with the pine cones. And I at first thought the leaves where feathers! Yup...time for an eye check! Have a great week.

hi Julia
could you remove #31 as it is the wrong link - I have now linked up at 48
thanks a lot
xx
Christine

Princess Judy Palmer said...

I hope you don't kick me out for not showing sensible stuff. Nonsensible is so much more fun anyway! Love your piles of this and that. I am counting on you to do wonderful things with your pine cones and natural bits. Judy #49

Beverley Baird said...

Lots of lovely autumn supplies to work with. You look very busy!
Happy WOYWW!

OOOH I totally love how vibrant the colors are on those leaves :)

Monica said...

It is always nice to visit your desk even if it means that I have the days of the week right. This past 3 months have seen a mad rush of activity where days blend into one and the surface of my desk was lost to sunlight(regrettably not to cats). So now order is returning, well the kind of order only messy people comprehend.
Lots of interesting new people.

Unknown said...

Look forward to seeing what you do with the pine cones - I love pine cones - always reminds me of Christmas.

Laura (Bookworm) said...

Hope you have fun making something with your natural materials. You know you have a friendly audience visiting you here. I have just decided I'm not in the mood to make Christmas cards this year. Sometimes I do -- and enjoy it -- and sometimes we just do a photo card. We'll have a fun picture from Disney this year, so it's all good. Happy WOYWW!

Unknown said...

Your picture has my curiosity going! The leaves are gorgeous, kinda neon but gorgeous! But what is that in the bag on the far right center?

Robyn said...

sensible? have you been to my desk lately? ( yes, TY I know you have)!
Robyn ( no post this week, busy saving the world!)

Elizabeth said...

Hi Julia, hope you don't mind but I just had to join in late this week and show my room now that the makeover is finally done and I can get down to some serious crafting again. Though there was no sensible crafting going on the desk this morning - just a very tidy, organised, clean and fresh one instead! Wondering what you are going to do with the cones and skellington leaves :) Hugs, Elizabeth

April said...

I can't wait to see your 3D project. Christmas cards - ugh. I was supposed to do one a week. Did I? No! :-)
April

peggy aplSEEDS said...

I like your Autumn project with the pinecones and leaves! I love pinecones and always think of making something with them. But it is still in my one of these days list.
Happy WOYWW! I can't believe it is almost the next one!
Hugs, peggy aplSEEDS
