WOYWW #207

Hello there desk snooper around the world! One more week till our big ATC swap. So excited!
 If you have no idea what this post's title means or why I keep sharing pictures of my messy creative desk every week, where have you been? Well, this post is sure to make things clear for you!

So what's on my workdesk this Wednesday you ask?


A new set of drawers! I've had my eyes on these for a long time and finally got the chance to buy them the other day. They do a great job holding all my bits and pieces, so yeah!
On my desk you can see my sketchbook, a clay pendant waiting to be baked, some rubber stamps that I forgot to clean (oops?), my box of clay and last but not least the envelopes containing my extra ATCs for the swap. They're on their way now I'm sure, so hopefully they'll be there on time. I can't wait to find out who my main swap partner is going to be!

And because you guys keep showering me with encouraging comments about my clay work, this is what I've been keeping my hands busy with:


              

What do you think? Cute enough? 

Okie dokie that's it for me today. Now hop on over to Julia's Stamping Ground and take a sneak peek at what my WOYWW friends are up to!
Don't forget to leave me a comment so I can visit you back.

Take care,

WOYWW #206

Morning peeps! Barely catching up with y'all before I go study some more. Finals are just around the corner!
My workdesk hasn't really been tidied since last week's post. Keeping crafting on hold for a while now and just doodling in my little sketchbook till I'm done with my exams. So this week, this is how everything looks like:

Watercolors, brushes, my trusty ball point pen, some blank canvases that I'm dying to get creative with, the latest card I've made showcased on the easel and some more Fimo brooches from this post. You can also spot some of my ATCs for the Anniversary Swap, which reminds me..

I will be participating in this year's swap and I've made a few extra ATCs. So if any of you would like one, please say so in your comment and leave me your e-mail so I can contact you. Envelopes take around 12 days to arrive to or from Egypt, so I will be sending mine early and, hopefully, you're going to get it a day or two before the big date.
Oh, and if anyone is feeling extra generous to send me an ATC, I would absolutely love that! My details are on my "About me" tab.

In other news, here's my latest clay creation:
 Another woodland inspired brooch. What do you guys think?

Don't forget to leave me a comment so I can visit you back. Now hope on over to Julia's Stamping Ground and checkout what everyone else is up to!


Hugs,

WOYWW #204

Hello there WOYWWers round the world! This is a scheduled post and I've just gotten the time to link up so I'm a little late this week. *sigh* exams are so cruel! lol

The weather's been great all week long, so I thought I'd go out and get me some sunshine and inspiration. And sure enough, my sketchbook had a new scribblet in a blink!


I used my watercolor pencils and ballpoint pen. Flowers are just starting to bloom, but they're getting there!
By the time I was done with my page, the sun was going down, so I had to take my desk photo this morning, there you go everyone:

My finished flowers after adding some texture and detail with markers and some more watercolors.
The page on the left is also one of my favorites. I think it's just the perfect quote for every artist. :)

Okie dokie, that's it for me today! Now come and see what everyone else is up to at Julia's Stamping Ground. And don't forget to leave me a comment so I can visit you back.

WOYWW #203

Wow! I haven't blogged in ages! I have a good excuse though, my finals are one month away. I've already filled the application form for the Faculty of Fine Arts. Yikes!
So now that you know why I won't be around till the end of June, welcome to my place WOYWW fellows!

What's on my desk this week? Clay work of course!
I'm so excited about these little cuties. One of the girls in my class saw the teddy pin I was wearing and immediately asked me to make one for her. She even, quoting, "had to place an order" for two of her friends, too!
Looks like I know what my summer job is going to be! So right now, along with studying, these pins are what I'm up to. Modeling, gluing, packaging, and all over again!

Here are a couple of close-ups:



I'm starting off with these two designs for now, but Mr Mojo promised to come play with me after the exams!

So that's it for me today, short and sweet.
Don't forget to hop on over to Julia's Stamping ground. There are some fun desks to check out!
Oh, and don't forget to leave me a comment so I can visit you back!

Toodle pip!
