Hi Workdesk friends.
Here we are for another Wednesday at the Workdesk.
I am here again to show you:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".
If you don't know what this is all about then please visit the Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.
So here is my desk for today!
In the centre is a new magazine with free die and next to it on the left are the moulded pieces for the tube box.
To the right is a tub of Gesso, a box full of ...well all sorts of gloves and cleaning cloths, the little red spotty box has some paper clay in it.
The box to the side of that has card with numbers and letters and below it the all important Huggies.
On the left side of the magazine the box holds some moulded pieces waiting to be added to the tube box.
The box next to it holds lots of sample pieces.
Since we were thinking about all those UFOs I've been sorting some boxes hoping to use up some half made projects and found these.
I originally put these together as samples but thought it would be nice to make some of them into cards.
One of my favourite techniques that I've not done for ages. I've stamped the Tim Holtz stamp onto black card and embossed it with gold powder and then stamped into UTEE which had glitter flakes and mica powder mixed in it.
When the UTEE has cooled and set I've glued it to the heat embossed card so that parts of the stamped image are still showing.
Same idea again using half of the stamped UTEE which was coloured with mica when cool.
Who knows I might even get these made into something soon.
You may notice that to the left of this is a new exploding box full of stuff, let's hope it doesn't explode!
So that's me done for today.
Sorry still not got round to using the salad spinner as I've been a bit distracted with a few things but don't worry I will show you when I get round to it.
If you would like to see one of the things I've been distracted with it's here.

Loving the TH images all gold and shimmmery! good luck keeping your exploding box intact! Helen #? (I have to leave for work now, can you link me? Julia must be having a lie-in!)
ReplyDeleteTwo exploding boxes now?! You're a brave woman to venture into your craft hut now, lol. I think that shell needs to be a card, it's really beautiful

Oh wow! I LOVE those embossed cards! I've not seen that style before. I adore the fossil background piece too. I hope you get to use them all. I'm intrigued by your "tube box" and the clay paper so I shall keep watching for those being shown. Have a great week, Lisa-Jane #2
ReplyDeleteOh those cards are just stunning and once you mentioned UTEE I remember I have some of that in the cupboard. Can easily see myself getting side tracked by another great idea. Have a great week.

Happy woyww! Stay safe and keep well. Susan #15

ReplyDeleteHi Angela, love what you did with the stamping! I don't use my UTEE often enough. The pieces you've sorted out look lovely, I still have more UFO's than I'd like, lol. Stay Safe, Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #7 X

Love that idea with the embossing / UTEE technique Angela. Funnily enough, I have been using that Spellbinders 3D embossing folder myself this week. Stay safe and happy belated WOYWW. Sarah #5
ReplyDeleteWow what a cool technique! I must look into that. Love all that variation of texture it produces. Have a fun week, Angela and thanks for stopping by earlier. xx zsuzsa #10
ReplyDeleteThose are really lovely Angela - I especially love the dragonfly one. Clever technique! xx Jo
ReplyDeleteHow does Wednesday come around so fast?! Lovely to see your organised samples and ready-to-complete (!) projects, and yes, I think they would make up into really great cards. Love the mica on black - such a cool technique. Both the dragonfly and the pear look like medieval illustrations - lovely.

Oooh Angela, I love the UTEE projects! Such gorgeous texture, and I love how you can see through it to the layer underneath. It makes me realise that I haven't been playing nearly enough lately - once I get back in the studio and start doing paper and mixed media art again, this is definitely something to play with! It's a long time since I heard of anyone using UTEE - it's fabulous stuff.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and I'm glad you enjoyed my pictures this week.
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi x #8
As always, your desk and multi projects intrigue me no end. Gorgeous card, btw, and I will definitely keep watching for the salad spinner project!
ReplyDeleteThose samples at the end of the post should really be made into something Angela as they are fabulous x. Looking forward to seeing the moulds on the tube box too x.
ReplyDeleteWow Angela you lost me all these new things I have never heard of. I feel I have been left behind living here in this forgotten province of Spain. Love reading about all the new items that are available though. Ani #6
ReplyDeleteOoh… love the sound of that UTEE technique, it looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteOooh love the UTEE technique I haven't tried it for many years and my efforts never looked as impressive as yours. Thanks for the reminder will have another go.x
ReplyDeleteYour desk shows a lot of interesting things - I was really impressed with that technique - wouldn't know how to do it! It looks really good and should be made into a card!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week, sorry I am so late commenting!
Hugs,
Cardarian
I'm sorry I am soooo late with my visit, but I'm glad I 'make a round' today 'cause I wouldn't want to have missed seeing your beautiful cards! Have a great new week Angela! Hug from Holland, Marit #20
ReplyDeleteI'm woefully late, I'm so sorry, don't seem to have gotten around to even putting the computer on till today!!
ReplyDeleteAdore your dragonfly sample, great technique.
