What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday?

Didn't have the time this week to pull out paint or inks and play, but I did pull out the of my heat emboss-able film and my woodburner/stencil cutter and cut a few stencils to use with my Gelli Plate and sprays.


I printed out some shapes and dug out a piece of glass from a picture frame.
I used the page with all the circles as a template to cut some lumpy odd shaped circles which was really what I was wanting.


I cut a joyful silhouette and some other shapes that you can't see in the pictures.
I was really pleased with how they turned out once I got the hang of it and can't wait to try them out!


I may go back and try to make another stencil and cut them as perfect circles.  
We will see just how ambitious I get!


Be sure and stop on over at Julia's Stamping Ground for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday and check out what everyone has been up to. 
I'm headed over there now to post my link and take a peek at everyone's desks.

Thanks to all who drop by my little blog!  I love having visitors!  
Please say a little hello in the comments if you are so inclined.
Have an artful day!
Anna

Your stencils are great. I have made some but they are very crude.

Wow! I love the stencils you have made. I have tried doing some with acetate and a craft knife and they work reasonably well with a gelli plate - not sure how long they'll last though. Thanks for sharing and Happy Woyww. Liz@73

It never ceases to amaze me at all the different kinds of crafting that goes on. I am just a cardmaker! There are some talented people out there

ooh, looks like fun! Did you make the stencils out of glass or plastic...? I guess I got a little confused, hm. Anyways, love the joyful silhouette! She would be so fun with ruffled ribbon for her skirt! If you don't mind passing on where you found her I would love to know...especially if she is a stamp. I heart stamps, right now. :) Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving me a comment already, have a great WOYWW. Deeyll #139

Hi Anna, Happy WOYWW and thanks for stopping by earlier. Your stencils are lovely, especially the dancer. I haven't made stencils for about 10 years when I designed a hanging garden theme with columns, flowers and butterflies for our bedroom.. a lot of stenciling LOL... but you have inspired me to have a go again- thank you. Have a lovely day.... Gill x

I love your stencil making - and yes, I do have a lot to knit - and you know - I am very easily bored by it - but I will of course finish - I have to take care in front of the TV - how fast a wrong stitch is made!!! And how often I have to knit backwards, haha. But I am patient

Great stencil making idea! I have a Silhouette machine, and I cut myself a load of masks/stencils from transparency sheets, they are so useful! Have a great week, Hugs Shaz #70 xx

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...

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 .   ...
