WOYWW 832/52: Sweet Sixteen

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.  Happy 16th anniversary everybody!

Regular desk visitors will notice that I am not at my usual desk.  I brought everything I needed for the online course inside where I can access the internet and have course still not got round to completing it.  The second lesson is this afternoon so I won't make it to that one either.  My desk shows my sweet 16 ATC made for the anniversary.  If you would like to participate in an actual swap then feel free to add an asterisk to your name, you will be posting your ATC to the next person on the list with an asterisk by their name (last person sends to first person).  Of course a virtual ATC on your desk is also completely fine.  The skull in the background (and all the clay) belongs to #3 son who uses it to help with his sculpting.
There have been some weird and wonderful prompts recently.
I only managed one (the others are under water lol).
Some of Barbara Gray's beautiful pottery.
No further explanation needed.


I have signed up for a free trial of Zoom Pro so the virtual crop on Saturday (1pm UK time) has been pencilled in for 2 hours.  You are free to pop in at any time for as long as you can make for a catch up. 

The meeting ID is 353 333 5553.  If you drop me an email using the contact form on the blog, I will send you the passcode.

A close up of my virtual ATC.

Happy WOYWW everyone - here's to the next year of fellowship and friendship!

    Hoping to do better for the 16th Anniversary week than last week. Too much keeping me from my desk. Anyway, happy WOYWW and hoping I can join the ZOOM at some point. It will be nice to see everyone virtually, at least. And that gives me a little time to try to clear up my space. Ugh. It's been neglected all week. Hoping those I mailed ATCs to will have received them and if luck has it I match with someone I already sent to I have a couple of far flung folk I'd like to send to as well.

    Might have to break the vow and comment with my Google, just so I can hit everyone. What can they collect about me for a couple of hours once a year, right? :)
    Happy Anniversary WOYWW!

    Happy 16th WOYWW!! Thanks for taking on the mantle of WOYWW, I’ve really appreciated the fact that the weekly madness continues, what would we do without it?! I’ll try to do the Zoom on Saturday, it’ll be nice to catch up if possible. Love your drawings especially the Madness one, that made me hoot!

    Well done on 16 years of blogging on a Wednesday!!! Enjoy the zoom get together this weekend. Wonderful week of drawings again for as you say, a few weird ones. Favourite is the face in the water - very haunting and unsettling - love it lol xx

    Happy sweet sixteen! I do like your take on our anniversary. I’m so glad you chose to take over from Julia to keep WOYWW going. You have had some odd prompts this week but I like how you’ve done them, particularly the card playing ghosts!
    Take care and happy WOYWW anniversary,
    Hugs

    Happy sweet sixteenth! Wouldn't be happening without you Sarah, I'm sure we all appreciate that. I'm a bit taken aback by the difficulty of this weeks prompts, I think you've done a great job! Regret very much that I won't be around on Saturday to join in. If plans go awry, I will last minute panic and email you! Xx

    Happy 16th anniversary! I love all your interpretations of the sketch prompts!
    I didn't put an asterisk as I didn't want to impose Aussie postage on anyone - however happy to swap if anyone wants to.. don't think I will make the zoom as we are driving over to look after the granddaughters for a week today. Susan #15
