Welcome to Crafting With Jack and What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday, a day when we link up to Sarah's Craftshed and have a look to see what everyone has been doing.  Me, I have doing some Ai, Digital work and carrying on with Genesis.

Genesis and collage

Genesis

An ai background, it needed something, I eventually decided on making it a watercolour paper.

I have watched the first 3 videos of a course called Bloom in Faith on Facebook.  The first was making little dolls. I am not good at whimsical faces and I thought I would try Ai for an image or two. I spent far too long trying to get what I had in mind. Creative Fabrica has changed their Ai programme, you have to pay with coins and it was galling to watch the coins disappearing when it wasn’t doing what I wanted.  Bing Ai wasn’t working, but it did create better images in between not working.

The originals

A little simplifying

My daughter in law works with people who need some company, for some it’s taking them shopping or out for a walk.  Either the council pay for this service or the client.  One of her ladies died and her son lives in America.  He took what he wanted and said they could take whatever they liked.  My son went with her and came across this beautiful vintage Bible. He has left it with me for a while. I can’t lift it it is so heavy.

My husbands latest Jigsaw.

My desk in working mode.

A4 print outs. washi tape, guillotine!

Quite a lot of pages have been done, here are just two, plus two images.

Beautiful jigsaw, nearly finished.

I am going for an acupuncture session today to see if that helps with the pain.

I watched one of those very short videos on making a snippet roll using wide sellotape to stick the scraps on, I didn't have any, but I did have something similar.  It was quite an easy way of doing it.

I wanted to have ago at book Mary Anne is doing.  The ones on the right were the first 2 pages and I wasn't happy with them.  I realised the reason I wasn't happy because it felt like a half done job!  The following day I made the next 2 pages.   I felt I could still add to these pages, while they had a more finished look.

A little shopping on Shein!

I have finished the February theme at JoDitts site.  The March theme is  "Jesus is the Word" and as part of that we are making a treasure book.  I made 53 images using Ai yesterday, I bet you are pleased I am not showing you all of them.😆

In fact the ones above I kept because  I like what's under the words, which as you see are decidedly odd, I think it would be too much work to put them right, but I may do something with them.  I will leave you with this one which did need editing, I improved the J, brought the words "is the" down from the top so it made sense, which meant that "word" had to be made smaller.

I have been sorting my pen collections, I bought 3 pencil cases from Tesco, 2 I already had.

On the right is a Tiny pieces of Art.  the prompt was "Candy Crush".

Last year I bought this board book with the intention of using it for art.  The assistant in the shop kept me waiting for 5 minutes while she looked though it, oohing and ahhing over every picture.  Yesterday I practically did the same!  they are charming pictures, do I really want to gesso over them?  The answer being no, obviously! However I thought I could use them as covers.

The above are part of the monthly challenge at JoDitt Williams site.  As you can see I can't write in straight lines!

My busy, busy desk!

Still not well unfortunately. I discovered that chewing  (among other things) sets the pain off.  So my husband has been mashing my food to limit chewing - not a pretty sight!

My husband just said to me are you doing your blog today, I replied later, it's Tuesday. laughing he said it was Wednesday!  oops!  I blame it on a bad night, actually not a bad night as the pain didn't start till 5:30.   I had a CT scan Monday, results in two weeks, but had a CT scan doesn't show nerves not expecting it to reveal anything.

I have been sorting through through my craft stuff in order to try and cut down on the amount I take on holiday.  I bought an expanding file to keep various A4 papers in. it doesn't hold as much as I thought it would, so I went back to get another one.  It seemed a higher price than the first one, but I thought it must be the same.  When I got it home it was a lot bigger!  Somehow both folders are not enough - I might take too much!

The above were for the "Tiny Pieces of Art" challenge.

On the TV the other day a newsreader said the continuous rain hadn’t quite reached Biblical proportions, but it was close to being 40 days and 40 nights!  My heart goes out to all those affected by the floods, the situation made worse by insurance companies who no longer payout for such disasters.

Which leads nicely into where I am in Genesis!

The hearts are for a challenge, not ready yet.

I went to A&E last Wednesday having been told to go by the doctor. The latest thinking is that it is nerve pain, untreatable apart from strong painkillers.  They are reducing the pain to a manageable level. 

I have been creating with Ai. Very rarely content with just one or two images I tend to carry on until the ideas have been exhausted or I need forty winks!

Hearts.

Swans, Doves for another project.

My desk nice and clear and showing my storage files with neat labels.  I have been sorting out my images.  Trying to make things easier to find.

I think my face pain is getting better one minute and in pain the next!  I am trying to take painkillers as soon as I feel it coming on, but sometimes it's not been four hours.  I have a CT scan appointment on February 16.  Lynne suggested the trigeminal nerve might be a possibility and the symptoms seem to fit.   Meanwhile not much crafting being done!

I have been busy creating, despite toothache/ear-ache which neither dentist or doctor can sort out. I had blood tests yesterday and I am waiting for a CT scan.

I missed out these pictures from day 6.

Top left the creation of Eve and top right the Temptation, at the bottom there are 2 double page which when closed display the rose pictures and Adam and Eve leaving the garden.

God said to Cain that sin was crouching at the door. So I created an image of the snake out side a door  and from that created a digital collage in PSE.   Then I thought about the heart needing a door for protection from the snake, I copied the handle from the wooden door and arranged it on the circle.

These are the last two Little bits of art for January.

After seeing the challenge “Tiny Pieces Of Art” on Susan’s blog  I decided to join up too. So far I have done 3 of January’s prompts.  The first prompt was Sun, Surf and Sand.  I made a bit of a mess with the surf so I covered that area.  The second prompt was Sunshine and Lollipops.  I found the music sheet, gave it an aged look, and created some lollipops in Ai. I missed out prompt 3 by mistake and did prompt 4 which was Summer Storm. I created the umbrellas in Ai along with the two girls and found some quotes. It has a watercolour background. 

More pages of my Genesis book.

My desk and finally a poem:

Here is my desk with my new pages for my Genesis book ready to cut out and add.

An  Ai background on the right.

An easy pair as I made use of the design on the scrapbook paper.

An Ai design on the left, faded out so the text is visible. On the right the sea creatures are from Ai edited, the birds and the blue sky are from photographs from Upsplash.

Despite Darwin's Theory being proved scientifically and mathematically impossible, it is still being taught in our schools as fact!  

I go off into all sorts of articles when I am doing a study.  Did you know that scientists say there have been at least five ice ages and technically we are still living in one because of the ice sheets still in existence?
