Something I've never tried up until now as my workspace is a complete and utter mess. But with Jan twisting my arm this morning I thought I'd give it a whirl.
This week's post will be a bit short and sweet as Wednesday is almost over...I'm a bit late getting off the starting blocks, but better late than never perhaps.
My workspace at the moment is the lounge dining table. This is due to the fact my craft room is so chocka-block with stuff all over the place I can hardly get inside let alone sit at the table to make anything lol! So I've taken over the lounge (easier for day time routine now its school holidays, thats my excuse).
As you can see, its getting messy already with crafting essentials including my Jack Sparrow cup holding brushes and pens. In the top right hand corner you can catch a teeny glimpse of some DT work for future weeks and in the foreground theres a sketch I started this afternoon as part of my planning for the next workshop I'm running later this month.
ooooooo exciting! Especially when I'm not even sure how its going to turn out lol
She's no one in particular. Perhaps elements of how I once looked in my twenties, all that hair, as when I sketch shes the face I always end up drawing. Anyway, she will be developed into much more than a sketch this time around so watch this space to see how she ends up :0)
I hope that will do for a first sneak peek into the mess I work amongst. Next week I may even try and get in to the craft room...heehee, you wont believe it lol
I saw your comment earlier about not being able to join in because of the mess - it's the mess we regulars like to see!!! Great to see you here, - but be warned, it is very addictive!! Next time, show us the craft room -please???! Helen, #18.
ReplyDeleteEvening :D Your space doesn't look too messy to me!!

Enjoy the rest of the hols - week one is almost over

Welcome to the mayhem Jo! Your desk is not that bad! Considering!! Let me assure you my desk is not normally that tidy! I just managed to catch the nanosecond between tags! It is messy already!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you join in the fun of WOYWW! xx
Hello and welcome!! Loving that sketch, I'm sure it will be wonderful!! You will have to squeeze into the craft room next week - we need to see! TFS Cindy #67
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch! I'm looking forward to seeing where that goes. Nice to see that your desk is full of wonderful things just poised and ready to be considered for creating.
ReplyDeleteYour craft room sounds like mine, I sit on the bed cos i can't reach the desk. Beautiful sketch and I'm sure Jack is very inspirational!

ReplyDeleteHaa Haa! It is soo easy to get "hooked" to WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteOh good - it's great to see my 'hero' art farty lady is actually human like me. Couldn't get on here yesterday was otherwise occupied for the long afternoon being poked about and 'eyed' up. Worth it though!
ReplyDeleteI reckon your WOYWW is pretty darn tidy - if you've got space for a a whole A4 sheet of paper - it's got to be good!
Do I sense a whiff of inspiration for a new Stampotiqe project or two? Hmmm - I'll have a thunk about what you are cooking up - you are such a tease!!!!
Gorgeous sketch Jo! Sometimes you've just got to create where you can, right?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sketch Jo and you don't want to see my mess. Don't worry it works even well.
ReplyDeleteWarm greet

ReplyDeleteI'm using the school hols as an excuse to 'spread out' too! I really love your sketch, it's so beautiful I can't wait to see what you do with it. I'm new to this WOYWW stuff too and spending loads of time visiting which is great. Thanks for sharing. Liz (106) x
ReplyDeleteI need to see the craft room Jo, next time I viist Im gonna make you show me it LOL x
ReplyDeleteWith talent like yours, you must be able to create anywhere - your sketch is beautiful! There are all kinds of craft spaces here (yes, even neat ones like mine!), but no one holds it against us what type of space we have. Looking forward to seeing you again! Happy Easter! #141
ReplyDeleteWelcome to WOYWW JO, how lovely to see you! Ok, so establish first that I'm unshockabke, so yeah, if you get time, I wanna see your 'real' desk some Wednesday! I've looked in the top right corner...that little glimpse of chicken wore? Wow. Tiny clue!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome sketch, love it!! Have a great Easter xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sketch. Don't worry, we have raised messy to an art form all its own here. We absolutely glory in it.:) Happy WOYWW, Shaz #96
ReplyDeleteOooh! My nosiness has prodded me out of lurking :D Loved seeing your space and can't wait to see what that sketch looks like!
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your question (and lovely comment) over at mine. Yes, I often think about going to college now. Most days in fact. Trouble is with family life, helping Craig with the business I don't see it happening any time soon. Maybe some night classes and workshops here and there. Still, I've had some lovely people saying some lovely stuff lately which has spurred me on to start selling. So just have to keep practising eh?
Sorry for the long rambly comment but the email kept putting a blogger address in :)
Beautiful creative place, my table looks more messy*gg*
ReplyDeleteWish you happy easter,
hugs Anja
