As always the design of a VW Beetle is perfect for a male Birthday Card. I cut this design on the Cameo, distressed the edges and added some inking.

Quirky pin cushion.

This pin cushion was designed and created by one of my textile students, it uses empty ribbon spools as a base and a giant felt Daisy to for the pins.

Well, am afraid I missed a Wednesday post again, and a whole week of blog posts. Fear not! This is not due to missing creativity, but because I am still playing with learning how to work my new cutting machine. To say I have become obsessed is an understatement!!!

Showing on my desk today is a Papier Mache model which I think resembles a quirky rabbit. The base is constructed with twisted newspaper, this is then covered with three layers of newspaper and finally a layer of decorative paper. I have made him a top hat and plan to knit a waistcoat.

Don't ask me why I am making this...I have no idea!

 

 

So I you want to take a look at what all the other creative folk are getting up to take a trip to Stamping Ground where you can view desks from all around the globe.

 

 

Owl look after your needles!

A bit of Zentangle

Played a little with a Zentangle design. I so admire this kind of art when I see it, but I think I need more practice!

Today there is a picture of my travelling desk as I am away from home this week with my portable art bag. It has been a while since I did any sketchbook play so I just worked today on a simple sketch to wake the creative spirit.

which I then painted......

 

For those of you interested in the paper cut sampler designs I mentioned last week....you can see them here and here.

Now take the chance to pop over to Stamping Ground and see how many more lovely desks you can find there!
