WOYWW 212--Tag Typing
Somehow, some way, for What's-On-Your-Workdesk-Wednesday I managed to catch a reasonably clean glimpse of my workspace inbetween crafty tornadoes of papers, stamps, glue, fabric, embossing folders and stickers! I have the typewriter out, getting ready to type thoughts on a tag.
I have been putting together an upcycled art journal for about the last week or two, and it is all together now, waiting for entries about my summer, my garden, and my crafty warm days. The entire post about making the journal is coming Thursday.
This is the before and after with the front cover, the original file dividers (old and discolored, but with lots of grommets and metal stuff) and the back cover with both covers being made from the old file dividers. Everything being used is from stash and trash.
And I only have two squares left to knit before I can start the dreaded task of sewing the knit quilt together! If you love tags, check out my tag this week on Tag Tuesday--I'm on the Tag Team now! I'm so excited to be a tag-aholic! Happy Wednesday lovelies.
Eat, Write, Dream, Stitch, Type
Your upcycled art journal is looking good! And I am so envious of your typewriter. Much simpler than computer (and printer in another room!) when you just want a few simple lines.

I am new to WOYWW today. Love your new journal and look forward to watching how it is done, I made one today too but just using an old magazine, yours looks more fun. Now following so I can see more.
ReplyDeleteI love tags too, the ones I have received in swaps and as gifts I've made a valance over my windows so I can see them all the time. Congrats on you DT placement.

Your journal looks fab, fab, fab!!! I really do wish, at times I had a typ writter, even with the PC and all the publishing programs, a typewritter would work better fo some projects.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the Tag Team!!

#144 this week with
a mess and a love apple
I live my life by non rules! Honestly, I do! I don't have a SatNav because I hate being told what to do and when to do it.....I do things deliberately the wrong way round...I never follow printed instructions. This makes me sound like a Stubborn Old Mare..which I freely admit I am..but I simply work better when I follow my gut instinct. After year of trying to sublimate this, I just thought Oh to Heck with it. It's so freeing to just do what I want as long as it doesn't hurt/offend.....I have a lot of fun in my life :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ 31 xxxx
I'm with you! I'd rather be a non-rules stubborn old mare than be miserable! I think that's why when I take a nice, neat dress pattern, and tear into it and make it part of my art journal, it doesn't bother me one bit. Hugs to you sweet soul sister!
