This time I managed to clear my table before making a picture.
It's a lovely spot to sit, work, stare out the window and listen to the birds whistle, while the garden comes back to life. From this spot I can overview the entire livingroom and the garden, nicely tucked into my little corner.
And yes, should you wonder, that is a pirates flag there in the border among the plants.
As you can see I did clean up a little. There are two projects on my table. Some tags I wanted to do for the Tim Holtz tags of may challenge and a sneak preview of a new journal page I'm working on. But since these are not ready yet I cannot show them to you in this post... maybe later today.
I did however destroy another background, as I told you I challenged myself to do in my previous post.
I wasn't feeling all too happy when I made this one... so it isn't really a pretty pretty page.
This is the original background, as you can see, I didn't really do a lot to it, but it did make me feel better and after this I was able to move on to other things.
I am content to leave it as is though, because I do like the writing. The follow your heart writing was done with the refill bottle for the archival pitch black ink pad. I loved doing that! I completely wrecked the plasic tape on the page while trying to dry the ink. I don't mind though, I was in the mood for some wrecking. Blowing the tape to smithereens with my heat gun made me feel a lot better.
The rest of the writing was done with a permanent marker and a white gel pen.
I guess that's it from me, I wish you all a happy WOYWW and after I come back from the dokter's office I will try and stop by your workdesks.
What a great crafting spot, and we LOVE your journal page, the sentiment would suit a lot of our pages.

Great journal pages, I love going back to 'dark' journal pages, it makes me appreciate how much lighter some days can be. Happy WOYWW

ReplyDeleteSO you've explained that yes, that is a pirates flag in your garden but you haven't explained why!! It looks like you have a lovely view from where you sit.

Thank you all for your lovely comments.
ReplyDeleteAbout the pirates flag, I wish I had a great story to tell you about what it is doing there, but I don't. It's just one of those things you collect during the years when you have kids. My kids are now to big to want a pirates flag, but I guess I'm not, so I can't part with it =).
Just love your view! Had a giggle over your flag and your post about it. Happy belated WOYWW and thanks for visiting!
