What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday???

Well it's not good morning here anymore, it's good afternoon!  Been a busy day so far.... checked on the horses this morning being the most important thing.  I haven't had a lot of time at my desk, actually finished up another project, more at the kitchen table as I needed more room.  My desk is so small and my work area seems to shrink everytime I use it.  I try cleaning it off before any project begins.  I thought I'd share though parts of my project, entitled Black Flowers.  Eleven of us made 6x4 pages and we may even publish it.  Because of that I can't show you the actual pages I made, but will show some of what I used.  At a later date I have step by step details of what I did. For it I used black chipboard (love the stuff), black and grey buttons, a photo I took at my daughter's wedding.... of course changed to black and white. I digitized it quite a bit on my ipad2, using several programs available.  Lets see black ribbon and washi tape, .... anything black I could get my hands on.  Even stickles... the black soot.  Oh and most important, I diecut flowers from some fabric books given to me by an upscale furniture place in my area. 

Change the color of the buttons to black..... and have to show the great flowers I just bought.
Then there is my postcard, atc, and artistic decos.... always ongoing.  I just picked up a ton of photos for them.  My printer is broken, so I've gone and printed out many many photos of my work and a bit of other photos to use in them   I'm making a few spring time postcards, all from my own photos and if anyone wishes one, just let me know.  Email me privately your snail mail address and I'll make sure you get one!  I love comments and anyone who wishes to follow me, I'd love that too!
Here's my photo bunch covering my desk this week!




That's it for now, I have to package up my Black Flowers and get moving on my day.
Have a great week everyone!!!!!

Gosh, I like your work! Love the photo montages and the colours you've been using. I was immediately attracted by your images, whereas some of the work on folks' desks isn't my cup of tea at all (I'm aware that I sound like a stalker here!!LOL)
Hugs, LLJ #26 xx
