WOYWW - All sorts going on this week !





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 ...

  7. 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.

  14. 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.
