Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
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!
First this was what you saw last week.
And as promised here's the finished box.
I can't take all the credit for this as the basic idea is designed by Anna Hersom and her team at the Creative Craft Academy: https://www.creativecraftacademy.co.uk/
She sends us all the products to make the project and then we can put it together as we wish.
I tried to make the stenciled glitter look as though it was being blown from the moon.
The clasp and hinges were very bright and brassy when they arrived so I've rubbed them over with some darker coloured Gilding wax to soften the colour.
This glitter comes in a paste form and it's so rich in colours.
So that's me done for today.
Just one last thing before I go.
My dear friend Chris who you all know at Chris's Cards and Bits has given me all these brilliant stamps and just can't wait to have a play with them so watch this space.
I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to but please excuse me if I'm a bit late as I have to go and sort out stuff for my mother ready for her returning home but I'll be back!
Have a great woyww
and
happy crafting,
happy crafting,

Well hasn't that turned out well?! I hope you are pleased with it. I really love the top plaque with the two faces of the moon intertwined, I've not seen anything like that before. The glitter on the faces is just perfect. Stay safe and keep smiling, Lisa-Jane #7

The finished box is fab - well worth the effort and I love the Moon's blown glitter! xx Jo
Wow, your box is amazing! You did such a fabulous job! I love the gold accents of the keys, and the moon blowing the glitter - exactly what I thought it was doing! Lucky you to get all those new stamps! Playtime! Have a great week, Lindart #29
Stunning box Angela, the perfect finishing touches too. Have fun with the Craftoscope stamps - they are rather funky. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #3

Your box is magnificent, Angela - love the gold against the blue, and all those funky keys! You've done a brilliant job.
Thank you for visiting, and I'm glad you are enjoying the progress on the cat throw, and also my Celtic knots. As for busy-ness - yes, I'm really too busy and keep wearing myself out and crashing (not a good strategy for managing ME, for which the secret is pacing which I'm not good at!). My sleep is very disrupted (a very common symptom) and I'm always wide awake way into the small hours, and actually only sleep about 4-5 hours a night. It takes me a while to get going in the mornings so I tend to have a pretty leisurely breakfast, and try and get my cooking done in the mornings. I do have a pretty strict routine for domestic tasks and stuff needing doing on the computer, otherwise nothing would get done! I'm a curious mix of highly disciplined and lazy/chaotic. Go figure...
Happy WOYWW,

Well worth waiting to see the finished box. It is splendid. Love the colour. Hugs Mrs A.
What an out and out gorgeous box, Angela - you've definitely made it your own and your idea of having that glitter 'explode' from the moon is superb. Love, love, LOVE it!
Oh do love all the keys on your box, you have made it up really well, love it.
Thanks for the visit BJ#13
the amount of texture that box has is just amazing Angela, I love that there are two faces too :) ~Stacy #28
Who's a lucky lady then? How nice of your friend to give you those stamps.
That box is lovely and no matter if all the bits were provided by the sender it is you who did the basic design and made the box your own - and what a fab job it is.
Hugs, Neet xx 12
Hi Angela, I do love the projects you do from Creative crafts academy - my favourite is still the dragon, but this one is a close second! I'm sure you will produce something stunning with the stamps from Chris. Have a lovely week, Heather xx #25
Hi Angela, thank you for the earlier visit. Love your box, am nitrigued by the stencilled glitter it looks quite chunky! Have a good week, stay safe, stay well, love n hugs Cindy xx#18
Wow! The box is so pretty. No...not pretty...gorgeous! It's so bright and shiny and so awesome. And how about your friend - wow, great stamps for you to play with! Have a great week. Dorlene #30
Sorry I’m late Angela. My word, that box is a treasure alright! Love the highlights of glitter and the added keys really give it mystery too! The stencilled glitter is lovely, I have some glitter paste that’s designed to apply with finger to highlight raised field....I shall be trying it through a stencil though. It’s currently in the unused and give away pile, so you may have just redeemed it for me!
Wow, your box is stunning, what an magical transformation and I love the bright glitter, it really is colourful. Love the stash too, they look very unusual stamps - what a lovely friend you have.
Hope you have a good rest of the week, sorry I'm so late getting round.
Diana xx #20
The box is fabulous and I really like the glitter paste. Must look into getting some. Hope all is well for you and your family xxx
Love how the box came out! Such a pretty blue.
I do love my carts. If I didn't need windows and book cases, I think I'd have lined the wall with them so I could roll whichever cart of goodies I needed to work with at the time.
Hugs & Creative Blessings! Kelly #27
