WOYWW 813

 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.  

First may I wish everyone a happy new year.  Another couple of days of Christmas and then the sad business of putting it all away. It always seems sad to me anyway.

If you remember the card designs I showed you last week.  I printed quite a few for next year.


I joined in with a free Scripture challenge on FaceBook "She Sketches Scripture"  The challenge has sketches to paint, but so far I haven't used them.  I have used digital work and collage.  The houses came from a couple of pictures from Rawpixel, which I overlapped in places to make it look more like a city.


The lady on the bicycle, also from Rawpixel I thought was perfect for "Seek first".  I tried a few backgrounds before I was happy.  I think she looks as if she is setting out early.  I made two vintage looking cards for the next one.

I tried something different for the next one.  It took me ages to get it to where I was satisfied. I used some flower stickers to finish.  For the last one, I improved on the face that I had done a while ago, I used one of my papers for the dresses and finished with some flower stickers.


Last photograph is of my craftroom.  I hope to get back in there today as I only have finished 6 of the 30 challenges so I would like to do a few more and I have till the 5th January.

Oh love that you are joining in with She Sketches Scripture and even more impressed that you are doing your own interpretations where I'm just a copier although slightly different due to me using watercolour rather than acrylics. I've downloaded ALL her sketches and screenshot ALL her pages as I tend to just work from the end picture really. I must check out how much she charges as the currency exchange isn't one I am familiar with and seems more expensive that it actually is. I got an email about her art club and some freebie posts but not sure about signing up for that though. Don't really want to bog myself down this year after last year's epic daily journaling!!! As for putting Christmas away, I'll do the house stuff next week sometime but leave the main real tree in the conservatory up till Candlemass on 2nd Feb - I mean WHY NOT it's not in the way and far too cold in there in Winter anyways.
