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 Digital work after finding a gem in my craftroom. I think it is called a cyanotype.
The image on the left I found in my craftroom some time ago and re-found when having a sort out the other day. Although I really like it as it is, the negative cut paper that was placed on it was not on straight and not flat, because it is darker one side than the other. You can see the design that I drew and then cut out. I kept the paper thinking maybe I could use it as a stencil. The image on the opposite side was the first result of trying to improve it digitally.
A little more digital work to move the design to the left and create the spots. then I tried nearly every flower I had and could not settle on a colour. In the end using the photograph of a flower, found in the field nearby the caravan last year, I designed a new one. I could not find the name of the flower this morning.
The folder with the butterflies was an organiser and I really like the cover, but the bonding rings were too difficult to open, so my husband took it out for me as you can see in the image at the top.
I got my husband to cut the ledger journal in half for me so I have two 6 x 4 books.

You did well with that digital image, the end result is very pleasing. Great work with reorganising the organiser too, getting all that out of one original is brilliant. Have fun with it!

Husbands can be so useful sometimes! I have never heard of cyanotypes before - learned something new! Have a Great week🌸Lindart #14
Still amazed at what you do digitally - love the original shape - I have a similar one cut out somewhere...Hubbies are jolly useful aren't they? Think I might have a strange virus as heard a couple of my badminton ladies have been poorly this week too both wiped out as well. Hugs Bj#4
That digital page has turned out beautifully Angela. You do have a very helpful husband! Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah
Beautiful! I need to play more with digital art. Blessings!
I always enjoy seeing your AI work! I have done cyanotypes in the past and wondered what I could have done with them!
I like the picture of your desk!
