I saw a technique on a blog here many months ago that pulled me in, and has seen me hovering on the outskirts wanting to try, but not feeling confident enough to have a go without the workshop. My dear friend and I never seem to be able to clear a date that we could both attend the workshop so I just kept putting it to one side.
On Sunday I was at a loss as to what to do with myself, so what a good time to try this technique.
Firstly as this group is about our desk antics I should add the link to the biggest playground for us crafters to join in the fun. WOYWW is hosted by Julia and is open to anyone to come and play.
So with a very red face I show the mess I have still sitting on my desk..... I am going to be cleaning it away soon... maybe time for a little more playing first.
Lots of different paints, googly eyes, die cuts and glue.
Any ideas yet...
Well this is what I ended up decorating..
I don't think my first try would be half so good!
ReplyDeleteThat definitely doesn't look like a first try. So cute! Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #12

What a glorious mess... Great end product too.
ReplyDeleteI love a messy desk, always means a creative person lives here. Scrolled down for a snoop and your sewing tin is beautiful, very clever idea. I've had a sheet of that sticky back metal in my stash for ages, must get it out and play.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting yesterday, much appreciated. Glad you like my altered heat gun, it was all covered with inks when I did it but the ink wore of the handle with use.

Sorry I'm late visiting. It's been a busy life-gets-in-the-way type of week. I fell in love with that heart. It is stunning. For a first attempt, I would say you should get an A+++.
ReplyDeleteHappy very belated WOYWW from #7.
