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 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!

That’s so annoying about your pain, it must be very debilitating to have that each day. I really hope they can find out what’s causing it. Nerve pain is so tricky to diagnose. I agree, it would have been criminal to gesso over those beautiful pictures, they will make excellent book covers.

I love your hard book pics…I’m sure they will make lovely book covers. I’m so sorry your pain is ongoing for you…wish they could sort it out soon.
Hugs,

The 7 day art journey was with Irene Ruby - day 3 of the calm retreat the wobbly house artist. Her website/youtube is under makingsandmusings. I'm sorry, I don't think I know Casey, yes very sad, dementia is so difficult. Gosh not read your post yet...... Love the pencil cases, great for your travels. Yes I agree, charming pictures, you could ink around the edges and add ink draws borders and stenciling on the blank parts if you're so inclined. Just alter a little iyswim. Who can write in straight lines - not me either. Aw sweetie so sorry the pain continues will be putting in more prayers with the guy upstairs. Gentle Hugs Bj#8
oh poor you! Hope you decide what to do with the book without "spoiling" the pictures. could you scan them and use them that way? Happy WOYWW Helen #1
It's interesting that chewing makes the pain worse. Have you seen a dentist, it's a possibility but there are so many things it could be. Those pictures are lovely, no wonder you don't want to cover them. Wishing you have a happy woyww. Hugs Angela x9x
I love reorganizing my art supplies and tools too. Your journal is beautiful. I'm sorry to hear that your chewing is an issue, but glad to hear you have a gracious husband helping you. Blessings!
Oh my that is a busy desk!, You even have space for a plant. Mine would have to be fake, or I would kill it. I may be a gardener but I am a terror for houseplants! Hope you manage to use your pretty pictures! Have a good week, Cindyxx #11
So sorry, with me it felt like toothache that moved around. Haven’t they offered amitriptyline or isn’t it working for you? Enjoy working out what to do with those pretty pictures!

So sorry that you are still in pain Angela. I do think it would be a shame to gesso over those gorgeous pictures - great idea to use them as covers. Stay safe and Happy belated WOYWW. Sarah
Sorry to hear that you are still unwell Angela... Enjoing your tiny pieces of art...
Happy March! Susan #7
