WOYWW 2 March

It's Wednesday again, well it is here anyway.


There's a few things happening today. There's the beginnings of my HOH page (you know what that means, I'm not writing Houses of History anymore) for March (top left). The theme is Phileas Fogg (Around the World in Eighty Days ... maybe I should read it) with a steampunk feel. Another challenge!  And I just felt like playing with some small reversed canvasses with a bit of recycling. Look closely, it's just a couple of pieces of cardboard that I've ripped a bit of the top layer off of and painted with a rather icky colour I got by mixing raw oxide and yellow umber. That little beady flower thing (that Sandra sent me) is just the right colour, but I also need some thin fabric, cheesecloth, or something. And that means a trip to my sewing room, a veritable Aladdin's cave of all things fabric and fibre. If I'm not here next Wednesday you'll know I'm still lost in there.

    Hmmmm, I don't think anyone will get to see inside that "sewing" room anytime soon.

    I think us crafters are simply the best at recycling, your workdesk looks very interesting.
