WOYWW 795

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.  

I am still in “using things up” mode! This week I have been using up 2 packs of glossy photo inkjet greeting cards.  I pay monthly for my printer ink, and I had plenty of pages left, so I printed a whole lot of images for crafting.  This is what my desk looked on Monday:


Now I have cut all the edges off so they are ready to use. The cards were A6, A5 when opened out, but they were pre-creased so I had to avoid that area.   It took me quite a while to print them all because I also was working on some digitally.  These are some images I reduced in size and placed in a frame.


I made my daughter a birthday card which I have already given to her, because I was so happy with it, I couldn’t wait till November.



I added text and the smiley ghosts to this Gecko Galz challenge image.

My daughter finished a painting she had done and asked me if I would like it. I said I that was really pretty but…. There were two areas where she had used the correct colour according to the directions, but the colour didn’t look right, so she brought the paints over to me. I started that today.  Here is the before and after (so far):


It is such a pretty scene.  I just want to add a shadow under the bridge
and see if I can add a sparkle to the water.

Lovely prints Angela, not sure I understand paying for printer inks monthly and have pages left though??? Now completely confused when you mentioned Laser printers the other day. No matter, probably just my grey cells being very grey today in this HEAT! Like how you put frames round your images, your computer editing skills are amazing to me a complete novice in this area. I can just about block out a car reg or house number that's the sum total! Oh the dragon looks so stunning and I love what you have done with your daughters picture, so much better and defined.

Great post Angela, loving the dragon. I have some dragon moulds, must show you sometime. Using stuff up is good, I keep trying and then get distracted like the resin project. What you can see at the moment is sand mixed with resin, set the bottom first and the shaped the back which will be the hill but I'll put more info on when it's finished so you can see properly how it was made. I think you would call it a diorama. Happy woyww, Angela x10x
