Lots happening on the desk this week ! Running from the left - lovely, yummy My Mind's Eye "Lost & Found" papers - all cream, eau de nil, soft pinks & chocolate - with a bit of glittery chocolate thrown in - think it's going to be one of those paper collections that you have to take a deep breath to cut into & use - rather than just admiring & stroking them !!
Then some pages in my art journal drying ready to journal on & a page I made about how I look forward to a lie in all week & then at the weekend I can never lie in because my mind keeps running over & over & over "stuff" - work, family, hopes & worries, random tunes ... just stuff that won't let me be !!
Then I have a canvas I am working on .. I saw these Art doll Sculpy moulds in Hobbycrafts on Saturday & really thought they would be fun .. I felt the large pointy face would make a great basis for a "Jack In The Green" - the symbol of Spring & the moon type face with her eyes shut made me think of Summer, slumbering - waiting for her time to arrive .. it'll be interesting to see if I can get what's in my head to come out onto the canvas.
And then on the right the mini-book I have made about my Tim Holtz class ...
Ooh you're busy Ali - buzzing with ideas. Love the journal pages, they'll be such a pleasure to write in.

Loving all those papers too. Not sure I could bare to use any either!!! Your masks look very interesting. Hadn't realised you could get them in Hobbycrafts. I think a trip into town is called for.

ReplyDeleteLoved your post. Have never tried art moulds, sounds like another addiction coming up! Can't wait to see what's on your lovely desk next week.

Those faces are great, and you are right about them being perfect for thatproject. I have never tried that technique. The only modelling I have ever done is with plaster of paris moulds when I was very much younger. They seemed so magical, the way the plaster gave off so much heat in the process. I do remember one mould which seriously shows my age - Hopalong Cassidy on his horse. I do not think any of my models survived the passage of time.
ReplyDeleteYou have been a busy lady! Those papers are fab! and the faces, well, I can think of a 100 ways to use them, so definately great!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW
