Just the one picture today and a quickie post and nothing too exciting to report, as you can see it is in its usual state today and I have roughly a six inch square to work in, but my excuse is that I haven't actually been in the room lately, only to collect supplies as I have been working on my latest project (below) in the kitchen as I needed much more space! I have just got in from an arduous mornings shopping in Norwich -tell me do you think the copper scouring pads I have just bought from £Land will unravel to give me some nice copper netting? and is it too much to hope that it is real copper which will colour nicely when I heat it?- when I arrived hope I found a lovely package from The Altered Element with some of their new paints, Eco paints.... I will report back on them when I have had a chance of a play, at the moment you can still see them nicely packed up on my desk, along with a new Karantha Stamp, Challenge. Other than that there are bottles of colourwash, still not put away since I dyed some dishcloths to use with the Paverpol.... Oh I mustn't sit around here chatting, I must go and tidy up a bit cos I feel a bit guilty now. I'll have a nosey around other peoples desks later this evening when I get a chance to sit down.
Before I go, I will just share this quote that I read the other day and has had me thinking this week (makes a change I know) but how true is this..... Think I will be using this in a project soon
People are made to be Loved and Things are made to be Used. There is so much confusion in this World because People are being Used and Things are being Loved.
I can't find who actual wrote it, so can't attributite to anyone.
Oh..... talking of projects, I could have shown you my new oven.. bargain bargain buy from 'Cheapcycle' a Worktop oven which I will dedicate just to clay and plastic etc.I havent had my clay out for quite a while as I have been clay ovenless, so think thats the next thing on the list
HAPPY WEDNESDAY!
I don't recognise that quote but I am guessing they were not a crafter *LOL*
ReplyDeleteAs for no anal order for foam pads ... I am in shock ... heavens above ... willy nilly ... Have you no shame???? Great desk BTW ... plenty of room there ... if you push back really really hard X

ReplyDeleteoooh i'm excited to see your unravel some copper scourers - i am interested to see if it works!!!

ReplyDeleteI was looking at those copper scouring pads last week.................lol!
Scouring pads? Dishcloths? I love the way you use cleaning products Nicks - beats Spring cleaning any day :-) LOL x
ReplyDeleteYour desk is quite....rmmm.. full! Not much room there - but I looked at your projects and they are lovely - I don't know much about the art stuff so I can't comment on that but I can say that the quote you have shared with us is lovely and should be thought about a lot!

Fab desk and love that you have taken over the kitchen too LOL Kitchens are much better used as craft spaces than for cooking..well, in my case anyway LOL x
ReplyDeleteGreat quote, really does make you think. Fab desk too :)
ReplyDeleteHa, your desk still manages to be inspiring even when yo say you aren't using it..but - is that a compact I see? Is it destined to be something else? Love the quote..just Know I'll love what you use it on!
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling over your old tins. Your desk does have a lot going on, but I love all the inks / paints / fibers, etc.
ReplyDeleteFelling guilty and need to clear up? Really? I think you better go and lie down for a few minutes, or at least until that feeling passes! Love the Mother and Son work in the last post, truly fab, very fluid. Great quote too, very true.
