Welcome to Crafting With Jack and What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday, a day when we link up to Julia's Stamping Ground and have a look to see what everyone has been doing.
I made another A3 collage with all the bits left over. I think I rushed it, too many wonky pieces and I didn’t care for the combination.
I wanted it to blend, so I added a thin coat of gesso, not happy so I tried a little paint and more gesso. Still not happy! I added another layer of napkin.
Final stage still working on.
Finally, my dear husband has hurt his knee again (he did it last summer), my dear daughter said I should phone 111 which I did, they advised seeing the doctor, so I was on the Internet early this morning making a request when to our utter amazement my husband had a phone call about 10, from the hospital physio to go in for 11:40. She didn't know what the problem is so he now has to have some blood tests. Obviously we have put off the visit to see my brother in Gosport and hoping he will be well enough for next week.

Hope your hubby is fit enough for visiting the family soon Angela - good that he got a quick physio appointment though. Loving the process for that concertina journal. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
We only ever hear the negative press about the NHS, it does work really well most of the time and I’m glad your hubby got appts so quickly. I enjoyed seeing the layering/gesso process, fascinating especially when you put the last layer on but could still see details from the precious layer - very effective!

I love your experiments and your perseverance. Well worth the effort. I hope your hubby gets the help he needs and it's not too painful. x x Jo

Sorry to hear about your hubby's knee but it's good that he has an appointment to get stuff checked out. I look forward to seeing the progress of your collage project. Wishing you a very happy woyww. Hugs, Angela x11x
Oh dear, poor hubby! I hope things work out well for him. Your page just shows what you can do if you keep on going with a piece that you don't like! Well done! Lindart #18
Hi again Angela, saw your question. The technique with the plastic bag was the only one I didn't get round to though I plan to give it a go. I used the balloon and that was fun. I'm really enjoying this and I have lots of old techniques that I want to add to it too. You will see more soon I'm sure. Hugs, Angela x11x
Glad to hear an appointment was available so quick, hope the knee is sorted soon and you can go visit. Thanks for looking up the details of the sacred bamboo for me. take care and stay warm. Helen #1
Glad to hear your hubby had a speedy response from 111 and hope he’s better soon. I do like your colour palette for your pages.
Take care and happy WOYWW

Gosh lots of layers going on there Angela. I liked each one individually, love the patchwork, music and flowers too. If I hadn't read it I'd have thought they were all different things. Sorry to hear of your hubby's knee, but what quick service after the 111 call, hope you get to the bottom of it soon and he recovers so you can make your visit. Hugs BJ#14
Your layering is beautiful! This is already gorgeous. I cannot wait to see the finished project!
Hope your husband's knee is better soon!

Lovely work Angela, I do love the patchwork in such pretty sunny colours and it's great seeing the layering you are doing and how it's all building up. I hope your hubbies knee is good to go soon and you get to visit family.
Have a great week,

Well that was a fabulous reaction from the physio department! I took a friend to Salisbury for a hospital appt yesterday, involving a scan and a mammogram. I had to drop her off because we couldn't park. Her appt was on time and it took me forty minutes to park. When Asher appointment finished, we had a cuppa in the cafe because she was a bit shaken, by which time it was 4pm. Traffic was backed up all around the hospital site for no reason other than numbers...too till 530 to get off the site and we didn't get home till 615 because Salisbury in the rush hour isn't good either. I hope for the sake of hospital staff and visitors that it's not like that everyday! Shame about your trip to Gosport, let's hope for a speedy resolution, especially if the physio couldn't tell why. I love the collage, even when you say it's wonky and disordered, it isn't to my eye, and it's almost unrecognisable from start to finish! Amazing work. You really have patience dont you.
Hi, Angela,
The fairy stamp (House) I used on my project is by Lavinia Stamps it is called "Fairy Inn!"

Well I liked your collageto begin with but I love it now you have been working on it.
Hubby and his knee, I have every sympathy.
Sorry I am late but had a fall on Tuesday (indoors not in the snow). Nine hours in A&E ,broken ribs and knee is split wide open. Now struggling to walk with a walker and in pain from both knee and ribs.
Hugs, Neet 7 xx
Just a great group of photos, I love all the colors you have used Hope your husband has a quick recovery. Have a good weekend, we are on our way to the 3rd funeral this week. Weather is good today. Have a good weekend
Angela, that is so lovely. I love the peach colored collage at the top too; looks just like a quilt top! All of your projects are so pretty!
I hope your husband is alright! I am so sorry that he is hurt. I hope he is feeling better and heals quickly!
ooh sorry you had to cancel your plans, hope hubbies knee improves soon (I know what thats like I fell last week and landed on my knee!) and you can get to Gosport (not been there for years). I like the idea of adding thin layers of gesso over pages, as you say it gives you a bit more of a background.
running really late this week!
