WOYWW #225 (Updated)


Hello and welcome to another Wednesday at Moonshine Manor.

First, a confession: my photos for this week's What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday were taken on Tuesday - but I do have a good excuse Julia honest!

(If you're wondering what all this is about go here to find out!)

Today (that's today Wednesday not today Tuesday) I am spending the morning delivering part 2 of a "workshop" to a friend who wants to learn how to get more out of her stamps and ink pads. So my desk is set up ready for inky fun and games.


We are hopefully going to finish a Tim Holtz inspired tag we started last week and then, if time allows, have a play at altering some dominoes using the tissue paper and floor polish technique. (Below are samples I made a while back when I first came across the technique).


So that's what's happening here today, looking forward to catching up with what's on your workdesk this week later on. Have a fun day.

We HAVE had a fun morning and I thought you might like to see the "after" shots...




We played nice at wrinkle free distress, heat emboss resist, watercolouring with DIs and yes, we did have time to play dominoes too. LOVE playing dominoes. This is the YouTube tutorial I watched. Check out some more of Racho113's stuff whilst you're there - she's AMAZING!

  7. Our shots are almost always taken the day before, the desk still looks the same the next day, or messier! We love your altered dominoes, how pretty.

  15. My photos get taken whenever I have something fun or interesting to show, otherwise they'll all be of a clean desk as I usually tidy up frequently! Looks like you had a lot of fun, great samples, and it's so nice to share what we've learnt, as well as have someone to craft with. Yup, Christmas ornaments, playing with paper like that was really fun, definitely felt like paper engineering.

    Hugs

    Happy WOYWW and thanks so much for the visit to me! Have a wonderful week! Miss Swanky Pants Playhouse [MSPP] #22

  23. So many people give us Tuesday shots of their desk and I say as long as it is done in the right spirit, bring it on. I like that we got the after shots after your play date. It looks like you had a lot of fun with your friend and got to try out all sorts of fun techniques.
