A semi-tidy workdesk

This is my first ever scheduled post so it'll be interesting to see if I can make it work, today's been one of "those" days so probably not...!

Here is my desk for WOYWW - though technically I've cheated and it's What's On Your Workdesk Tuesday Night...


This is a work in progress for a new challenge I've found here. The idea is to take a technique from Tim Holtz's Compendium of Curiosities and do something with it, I haven't decided whether to do a tag or card yet...I'm just waiting for the Stickles to dry (had to get some Stickles on there somewhere!). So of course you can see the aforementioned book at the back, and some acetate which I'm going to try to make into bookmarks...

I've finally got myself a rack for my ProMarkers - it's still in it's naked form and I plan to do it up at some point (that'll be in about three years time then). I'm thinking about numbering them on my little chart and on the ends of the pens though to make it even easier to find the one I want...


And that's it for today - thanks for visiting!

  5. I put colour swatches into the spine of a dvd case then slotted the cases into the stand and rest the pens on the cases, the names are also on the swatches.

    Stickles are fabby but take eleventy-seven weeks to dry.

  12. What was the rack in its other life then? Numbering the pens is a good idea - a labour of love though! I can live without the compendium, but as always, fascinated to see what you do!!
