Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Hi Workdesk friends.
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"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! and I'm back in the cabin again.
I'm working on ideas for the top of the Violin at the moment but can't say this is how it will look when it's finished yet. Just a few ideas.
The side sections are coming along now and I've added gilding wax to the cogs and tentacles but it's not finished yet. The idea with the tentacals was to make them look as though they were coming out of the Violin sides.
Some of these are MDF and some are moulded resin.
I'm also having a look at the back of the violin but we'll see.
This type of project takes time to complete because you can only attach a few things at a time and then you have to wait for stuff to set but there's always something else to play with while you wait especially as I need to get going with the....dare I say it! Christmas cards.
I did go to the Doncaster Dome on Sunday for the Craft show but been busy since then so will have to show you some of my purchases next week.

That violin is coming along nicely and the tentacles do look as if they are coming out of the violin. I always think it is best to take it slowly with projects like this so the, slowing down naturally, process helps with that and it gives you time to plan a bit more and get everything in the best place possible.
A friend went to Donny and she came back with five carrier bags full of stuff - what the heck she bought I have no idea - she is addicted, well, I keep telling her so.

There is so much detail on the violin, it’s amazing to watch it all come to life! Glad you enjoyed your day out, I’ve never heard of the Doncaster Dome before!
Hugs LLJ 8 xx
Love all the additions to the violin, what a great way to learn patience!!

Wow, the violin is looking beautiful - what a lot of intricate work and I think it's good to have that time while things dry to plan the next bit - I'm unfortunately one for rushing into things with too much enthusiasm and then regretting hasty decisions!! Glad you enjoyed the craft show, looking forward to seeing the new goodies.
Hope you have a lovely week,

So lovely.
HI Angela! I'm LOVING the violin! And the tentacles in the sides! This looks like such a fun project, I'm sure you have ideas whirling around in your head all the time! Have a wonderful week, Lindart #20
Loving your violin as it develops. Happy WOYWW. Angela #11
I can totally see the attraction of the violin project, all the bits that need colouring, painting, moulding and then waiting in between for glue to dry while you fathom out the next move. Perfect for you, no rush, no smoosh it on and see how it looks…honestly it’s going to be an amazing addition to your oeuvre! Glad you got to the Doncaster event, and as for Christmas cards, ugh…it makes me panic a bit when everyone starts talking about making a start!!
It's been a full on day of sewing plus we have the twins before and after school every Wednesday so I've had tea to cook for us all after my day's work....I'd rather feed them for a week than a fortnight [you forget just how much growing kids eat]. It's my time now so I'm visiting all my favourite blogs.
Wow wow wow your violin really makes my heart sing....I love how it's developing. I had a fab morning last Saturday and thought of you often....will show you on Friday.
Hugs,
Annie x #14
I really love how the violin is progressing! it is going to be stunning! thanks for your visit already, am playing catch up as didn't stop for a proper lunch break today (naughty, I know) Helen #2
Thanks for visiting, and I love that you are sharing the process of that violin, really extensive project. AND no I don't do card this early ! and I usually regret it, but I love Fall and time outside in it's beauty. It did warm up next days 60's and no winds. So I'll be enjoying that. Hope to see your fun purchases, Sat. we have a craft show here so will see.
Oh I so love the progress you are making with the violin Angela. Glad you had fun at Doncaster. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
The violin is so stunning I am actually speechless in awe!

Loving how the violin is developing, especially the tentacles emerging from within, great idea and you have pulled it off really well. Sorry I didn't around to a visit last week. My ironing board came in jolly useful, I've not needed it for it's intended purpose for a year or so now, firstly lockdown so no shirts required and now hubby has retired and son left home and I'm making do, so just a extra craft table when required now! Hugs BJ#6
Wowza, Angela - this violin, no matter how long it takes or in what style you decide, is going to be a masterpiece. I am in awe of your ability and patience, my friend. xo
The violin is looking fab. I love the tentacles escaping. I'm having a bit of a catch up with blogs. Not been much time for crafting or blogging and I don't seem to get emails about other people's posts any more :-( I'll be sure to check in and see what's next for the violin xxx
oh wow the violin is looking fabulous and I love those tentacles. The doncaster show looked good and the journal page was nice and colourful too.
thanks for visiting my desk already
