WOYWW 219

Hello Wednesday Peeps and welcome to WOYWW #219. In case you don't know what this is, it stands for What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday and it's all started by Julia over at STAMPING GROUND  where we all go round Blogland nossing at what other people are up to each week. I couldn't join in last week coz of my exhibition but here I am today to show you an amazing gift I received this very morning from my friends over at THE HOUSE OF BEARS :-D  Just lookee what they sent me.........


Such an awesome batch of goodies and the bestest ever tiny little easel and canvas........ isn't that just sooooo stinkin' cute ??? AND I can use the lil' easel to display my ATCs when I photograph them. I am just so overjoyed with this new stash :-D a huge THANK YOU to my darling Bears :-D xxxxx

Now onto my latest project - I can only give you a little sneaky peaky coz it is my piece for the August Members' Blog Hop with SMEARED & SMUDGED - it's my first ever real piece of Mixed Media art :-) I'm not exactly sure I LUV it but I think it's come out OK - well it is a totally new thing for me to do, so I will keep practicing :-D



Anyhoo - I am popping off now to buzz round the other desks on WOYWW 219, so maybe I will see you round some of them :-D
Byeeee xxxxxxxxxx

  21. Happy WOYWW Ike! Thanks for visiting me, and yes Sooty could be on guard! Alfie would never dream of sleeping in my craft room for fear I would drop something on him!
    That was a lovely present, you have some lovely things there, and yes those little easels are great for photographing things that don't stand up!

  22. How wonderful Ike. Love the great gifts you got from the Bears. Deskers really ARE the best.

    As a mixed media artist, I think you have it down pat. Don't sell yourself short. You did a fabulous job, especially if it's the first time. BTW, I can't wait to see the entire piece.

    Thanks for dropping by earlier. Happy WOYWW from #1.

  25. Hi Suzy - its so good to see everyone sending packages and having "Blogger Day Out" visits - Your new project looks verrry interesting - will keep my eyes peeled when its finished... Have a great week - Happy WOYWW Mxx #70

  26. I have not ventured into mixed media stuff, but I do like the textures you have achieved, and aren't you the lucky one to get all those lovely goodies from the bears. Thank you for your visit this week and you will be pleased to know that things are gradually being ticked off the list. The problem is that I keep adding new things to the list to take their place. Still, money is not earning anything in the bank so I might just as well spend it on keeping the house up to scratch. Have a good week. xx Maggie #116

  37. Hi Ike, sorry to be so long replying - I am having terrible trouble being able to post comments in blogger. Some blogs will allow it, and some won't. I have just installed Chrome and am trying with that - no joy to start with but it seems to be working now! We'll see how it goes...

    Thank you for your lovely comments. I am sorry to hear that you have suffered so much from both UC and Crohn's - I have been told that although my UC goes throughout my colon, the inflammation is not as severe as some. After only 3 days on the mesalazine I noticed an immediate improvement and I would now say I am symptom free! It's like a miracle. Let's hope it continues... Anyway, it's enabling me to function during this busy time of our move. Glad you are excited about my new ARTHaven - I just can't wait to start getting my stuff in there now!!!

    Happy belated WOYWW,
