Someday, the altered art you make today will be
old, faded, falling apart, and someone else will salvage the bits and use them
in new altered art.It's the best that any piece of art can hope for

It's that time again - WOYWW

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!

  5. Your 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!

  8. That quote is so true.
    I love your desk as one feels great things have been created .... and seeing you previous post ...they have. I still treasure a clay symbolic 'Motherhood' a friend made me 40+ years ago.

  15. Felling 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.
