WOYWW # 201

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday?

As usual I am running late in the day posting my WOYWW!!
Crazy busy day with 3 different doctor and dentist appointments for kids, 
plus working at my day job for me.
Be sure and stop on over at Julia's Stamping Ground for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday
and check out all the fun of having a peek at what is on everyone's work desk!
Here is what is sitting on mine tonight.

I had to take my daughter to the dentist this afternoon, 
so while I was waiting I pulled out my Gelatos and journal.

I'm taking Kat McBride's "Let's Paint! Fabulous Faces" and wanted to see what I could 
do with just what I had on hand at the time.
I started with a page that had a bit of yellow acrylic 
where I had cleaned my brush when I was working on another project.
I finger blended the hair and face and set in the lips all with my fingers.

I used some Pitt pens and Big Brush pens to start the eyes.
 I've got to let these dry and heat set them, so that I can continue to layer with Pitt pens and other mediums and complete her lips and eyes and do her nose, etc....

I have to go to JoAnns or Michaels to pick up the Americana paint colors that I don't have before I can work with acrylics using the method that Kat is teaching, 
but I couldn't resist having a go at it with my Gelatos.

Hi, Anna, I like the face you are working on -- glad you were able to fit in some creative time during your busy day. Thanks for visiting me! I've found a low stress way to do Project Life -- I only do one "side" of a page protector a week. Lots of folks do a double spread every week and I *know* I wouldn't be able to keep that up.

Hi Anna. Oh, dear, sharing the family space with your craft studio...they need to move out! Making use of waiting time for art is brilliant. I keep a little notebook and slim marker which I'll occasionally pull out. Lovely job with your portrait. Charlotte #124

Thank you for commenting on my stitching. How interesting the name of your daughter: Anna Leisa. It is probable like that when English speaking people pronounce my name.

Tim Holtz -Tag Tags of 2013

March When Tim posted his March tag for the 12 Tags of  2013  I knew I was going to have to do some major improvising because although I have a lot of Tim Holtz products in my stash, the only things I had this time was the Foliage and Memo Pins.   It took me a few days to wrap my head around it... but in the end I'm really happy with how my tag turned out  and it was nice to have some creative time at my art desk. Thanks for stopping in and feel free to leave me a comment and let you me know you stopped by! Anna I didn't have the Fringe Die so I  cut my grass by hand.  I looked at the picture of the die and sized my grass to match  Tim's.  I had Green Co-ordinations but not the Kraft one...so my grass is green on both sides of the fence.  I sanded the paper first and then gave it a good dose of Walnut Stain Distress Ink before cutting.  Then after I put it on my tag, I gave it a little hint of Picked Raspberry. ...

Project 30 - Day 16 - January 30, 2007

This is Momma Cat. She adopted us a couple of years ago when she needed a home for her kitties. She's guarding a lizard that she'd been playing with and wasn't quite sure whether I was after it or not. We are having our two weeks of Winter these days with cold, gray skies and blustery wind. What a difference it makes down at the park... This is the same little willow that I posted about a week ago...only now it has been bitten by the cold and turned all brown and sad...

WOYWW #206

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday? As always I'm running late posting my workdesk, but a busy day at work and then I had errands to run  which kept me away from my desk until late this evening. Once I finally had a chance to sit down I dug out my acrylics to work a bit more in my art journal.   My daughter brought me a snack of popcorn and I had to be careful not to eat my brushes or try and wash them out in the popcorn cup. If you look close on the right side you can see Momma Cat.   She thought I needed supervision and it was all I could do to keep her from walking through the wet paint! ...then when I wasn't paying close attention my other black cat, Sneakers, walked right through my little puddle of black paint.   Now THAT was fun trying to get it all off of his paws.   He wasn't too happy with me after that! and here's a little close-up of the journal page that I'm working on. Stamps are by Stamp Camp .   ...
