WOYWW 504: Crafty Company

Welcome back for another instalment of What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday (WOYWW), care of the keeper of links Julia, over at The Stamping Ground.  I enjoyed a relaxing day's crafting yesterday as I posted off my latest samples first thing and can afford to take a short break from secret stuff.  For once I can share what I am working on: a tag for the latest Tag Tuesday challenge.

I was just getting started as Eva arrived to keep me company.  Pop back on Friday if you're interested in how it turned out.

I have been enjoying some of these grown up Ladybird Books recently.  Whenever I see one that I haven't got in Aldi, I snap it up.  Obviously I couldn't resist 'The Shed' and the others are an amusing read too.

On the other side of the desk, Eva was getting inky with some new PaperArtsy stamps.  Happy WOYWW everyone.  I will pop in and visit after work or tomorrow morning.  Short and sweet, just as Julia likes it.

A Retiform Journal Page: The Seven Ages of Man

This page was made for one of the June prompts over on Nina Ribena's Art Journal Prompts and More: Repeat After Me / Retiform.  I had only come across this technique once before on Shaz Silverwolf's blog but had never tried it for myself.  As I needed to divide the page up into sections and wanted to turn it into an art journal page,  I went with the theme of the seven ages of man speech from the Shakespeare play As You Like It; I studied it at A Level and it has stuck with me.
