Anyway...my desk. It looks like a right old flea market in there... I am only showing the one half of the room. It is the spare room/dumping ground/garden shed which had yet to be decorated, and is supposed to be my craft room one day. Cinderella, you shall go to the ball... I am sharing it with a triple wardrobe, a dresser (temporary embossing station and beauty/girly corner) stack of crates, a big wooden chair (paper stash babysitter) junk shop finds and a whole load of other paraphernalia. Sigh.
I had tortured myself by looking at too many articles from "Where Women Create" and was holding out for the finished palace. In the end - I had to just buckle down and put my paper passion before my perfectionism. So it is a fold out vintage kitchen table, an old bookcase (bought for a tenner), loads of plastic boxes and a lot of improvisation. It is getting kind of crowed as the supplies increase. Yet, I am convinced that even if I had a football pitch to work on, I would end up with mess everywhere, still stuck in the corner with 5 inches of space.
There is an array of things going on. Mainly my Claudine Hellmuth on-line course stuff. You can see some prepared pages of a book for our sampler. Done two techniques and a mini-project so far. Never done an on-line workshop before but I really can vouch for it - especially all the interaction, global experience and nosing at the work of others.
Here is the finished mini-project - canvas with gesso and ink transfer. I have to say that the CH paints and brushes are a worthwhile investment. First time I could paint without thinking a shaggy dog had done a few twirls over my stuff.
Breathe and just be...
At least you have a space that will one day be brilliant. I have filled my living room with my craft stash (there is only me there, so that helps!) but I dream of a proper room... Love the card BTW

Sasa, I am a Claudine Hellmuth fan, but had no idea she had an online class. Your transfer is super. I really enjoyed seeing your work space. Happy belated WOYWW.

It's a frightfully organised space! I think it's terrific - and yes, no matter how much room you have, you'd use it! I've seen a few painted book pages on my travels this WOYWW, glad to hear your enjoying your first online class - the canvas is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGreat space there and I agree with the football pitch scenario as I would be exactly the same! love the CH stuff too.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics of your workspace and your canvas is gorgeous.

Ah but at least you have a space to craft in and one day it will be exactly what you want it to be! Love the Breathe project.

Great canvas. My workspace is definitely not that organised, I try but it somehow always ends up so covered I usually have to swap to the dinning table as well! we haven't had a sit down meal for weeks lol!
