Bits and pieces really... practice cards part way through some of the amazing Timeworn Techniques I'm learning on the Andy Skinner online course; gorgeous wax paper from a loaf of bread which I have an idea about for the Recycling challenge over at Our Creative Corner... not sure if there's going to be time though.
Whole pile of leftover paper scraps shoved to the right, and discarded acetate that I failed to create with successfully to the left, in case inspiration should re-strike. In the back right corner is my Life is Good tag, trying to provide that inspiration...
On the left are the Darkroom Door metal boxes of the Prague stamps used for my Postcard from Prague. They haven't really got a home yet, so still sitting there - but also partly because I think the boxes are sooo beautiful, so I like having them there at the moment!
Just got the tiny skull and bats as extras in a package from the Funkie Junkie Boutique, and they're hovering to see if I want to rust'em up or use one of the other Timeworn techniques on them...
Hmm... gathering crumpled tissue paper just above the radiator - fine for the moment, but need to sort it out before the radiator needs switching on!
Thanks for stopping by, and if you're in today's fabulous nosy-parkers' bloghop, I'll hope to catch up with you before next WOYWW!!
Creative minds are rarely tidy.

Really love your DD stamps, I have the London set and adore the tin box too. It is lovely the way Funkie Junkie put little treasures in their packages. The top of your workspace looks great and very tidy, the underneath - looks just like mine! Happy WOYWW, Anne x #32
ReplyDeleteLove your desk space, full of creativity as usual...ooh so many goodies I would love to hop across and play! Have agreat week! Happy rusting, I am loving it! Trace x.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work-desk and your stamping looks interesting too. Enjoy your Day. Hugs Rita 88
ReplyDeleteHi Alison - well! Two lovely desk shots on that gorgeous mushroom background that you have on your blog with the lovely aqua writing on and then ... the underneath shot.
ReplyDeleteDid make me smile - glad to see you have a cluttered area in the craftroom. Where do you put your legs?
Off for another wander on your blog - love the Prague things.
Hugs, neet xx
Great craft space Alison. I did smile to myself when I saw your tissue paper under the desk. I do that pile things under the desk and then keep saying I need to sort that out. I go around in circles, piling stuff under the desk then reorganising and then cluttering it up again lol. Tracy x x
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. Your desk looks promising - ready to start on the next crafty thing. And I'm glad that there is someone else who has an occasional non-success with their crafting.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have some fun stuff going on!
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be coping ok with the Time Worn Tech. thanks for your comments. See you over @ the Forum. Francesca #77
ReplyDeleteI love the space you have to create and that cute little radiator, can I borrow it today as it is pretty cold up here!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the DD tins, in fact in an ideal world I'd want all my supplies out on display for inspiration - oh perchance to dream lol.

First, I have to say; (and I don't know how I've missed you) I love the look of yor blog, and the blue walls in your studio, and the touches of blue on desk...so coordinated and peaceful! And I can't wait to see what your doing with those stamps!
ReplyDeleteNow, thanks for stopping by my spot, and no, not a cat, but my husky puppy, (well, she's 3) who is shedding her coat now...right before winter! (I'm saving it for a friend who want to spin it...)
What a lovely serene work space you have - I love the header on your blog too. x Jo
ReplyDeleteLovely stuff on your desk - the dark room door stamps are amazing - I must buy them one day your postcard card is amazing - had a little snoop around your blog! Thank you for calling in!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Cardarian
Your place looks great to craft in - totally getting that 'saving bits for use later' idea. It's just a question of controlling the ever-increasing piles of stuff:) Looking forward to seeing more creations soon, and these days they all seem to be award-winning! Thanks for stopping by at mine, hugs Buttons #66
ReplyDeleteOoooh! I love/NEED those Darkroom Door stamps and boxes, they look fab. X What a lovely busy space.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

You are so brave to show the "underneath"!! LOL. The stamps on the left are really packaged beautifully. That bread wrapper looks interesting. I always keep that brown paper that is used for packing orders shipped to me.
ReplyDeleteGreat crafty space. Under e desk? You're brave, not showing mine this week!
ReplyDeleteFamfa #22
Looks like you’ve been very busy Alison!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I looked at the chipboard in your desk and thought the bats were holly…..just shows how wrong I can be, Lol!
I love those stamps that you’re using too.
Happy Crafting!

Alison, your crafty corner is deliciously stocked with goodies! I think you could give me a stamping lesson for sure! Thanks for sharing. Sandy Leigh #39
ReplyDeleteYour desk is fantastic. Full of great tools and supplies on display. Wow! I took a look at the Prague card and it is so beautiful. I love the shadowy nature of the card and the words ring true. I also enjoyed the history you included. What an amazing artist you are. Thank you for the inspiration. Frances #69
ReplyDeleteI stash stuff under my desk too! lol! Looks like you are in the works for lots of great creativity.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Happy WOYWW

ReplyDeleteHugs Erika.
That's fun, cause so looks a place with a very creative person!
ReplyDeleteHugs Anja
Hi, Alison, I can see why you like having the Prague tins on the table -- the "package" is almost like a decor item when they make it so nice. The waxed paper looks intriguing, almost like the Tim Holtz glassine paper. Will be interested to see what your imagination comes up with. Happy Wednesday and thanks for visiting my blog. ~ Laura #122
ReplyDeleteYou have a very messy :) but productive desk. Good for you! Yes, you better move the tissue.
ReplyDeleteI like that we got to see the dirty secrets that lie beneath! I know we all have them--that pile of stuff! I like the tins those stamps came in. Very nifty! Have fun playing!
ReplyDeletegreat space! happy woyww!
ReplyDeleteYou are brave, showing us your nether regions...of your desk area, of course *grin*
ReplyDeleteThe skull and bats are fab - really, they made laugh out loud. Hope you have fun using them :)
Hugs, LLJ #71 xx
What a wonderful workstation, it looks like there is a lot going on.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos. The one that shows under the desk made me feel right at home. Mine looks like that, I just don't show it :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

I think we all might have an embarrassing secret lurking beneath our desks! Mine is no exception...LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such nice comments....
Thanks for stopping by my "desk" and leaving me a sweet comment. :)
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks like you have plenty of space to craft on, how nice! But where do your legs go?! lol I'm thinking you could use some of the 3 drawer carts like I have under my desk, ooh they are so handy. They have pretty big and deep drawers, you can really pack the stuff in there, I'm telling you! :)
You have a great space!! I love your blog and looked at some of your tags and cards so Beautiful!! I am going to start following you. Thanks for coming by my desk and saying Hi!!
ReplyDeleteHugs

Sounds like you are having a whole lot of fun. That is why I never show whats under my desk. I am pretty sure Julia will ban me from ever taking part in WOYWW again. I might even be arrested for public indecency (yes, it really is that bad! LOL) Your look positively neat compared to mine.
ReplyDeleteHappy very belated WOYWW!
