WOYWW 265--Still Scrapbooking

I've decided I need to schedule out exactly what I want to do and when I want to do it! I love to play with wire and beads, embroidery, knitting, mixed-media art quilts, cross-stitching, making cards, and at long last, back to scrapbooking. But the problem is, I want to do all this every day! I'm a mess. And so is my craft table.

I am not ashamed though! This is What's-On-Your-Workdesk-Wednesday, and this is what we do! We don't clean up for the camera. Oh no. We suddenly just stop what we're doing, and snap a couple of photos to share the real story of creativity--and it's almost always kinda messy.

So pardon our progress (as the construction signs say) because I really was making progress here. I wanted to get a few more photos scrapbooked while I'm on a roll so that I could play with my new watercolor pencils. I just bought them--I didn't get super expensive ones, but I'm here to say, why didn't I have these before? They are so much fun! I just sketch and color a bit, then bring out the watercolor paintbrush and it all blends together. Love it. Last time, a fellow desker had asked how I used my watercoloring in my scrapbooking. So here's a page I had planned to do for my daughter's birthday, and I used a little watercolor I had done.

I'm also trying to do several flower watercolors using a combination of my watercolor paints, pencils and even gelatos. They will be for cards, scrapbook pages, and maybe to sell at a fall craft fair. I've also got more jewelry to make for that craft fair! Can't wait to show my mess next week--but soon I'll be off to visit your desk.
