WOYWW 593: All Pupils Back

Welcome to my weekly desk share with the lovely Julia, hostess of WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday) at her Stamping Ground blog.

My desk shows my sketchbook as I am about to start today's inktober drawing 'Armour'.  You can see yesterday's contribution 'Dune'.  One of my art journals is out as I intend to make a start on the second October prompt for Mission Inspiration tomorrow, a page with a Halloween theme.  At the back you can see the lovely mask adapter that I was sent by Lynne (Lynnecrafts). Thank you very much, it works really well with my masks from LLJ.

Work should be back to normal today as our missing year group has finished self isolating and will be back in school.  My distance learning lessons have been a bit hit and miss over the last week.  They have gone really well when the network has played ball and bombed when it hasn't.  I will be glad to see them back face to face.  

For those who don't know about inktober, it is a challenge each October to get people drawing.  A list of prompts is published with the idea that people draw something relating to each prompt every day.  You can draw a pencil undersketch and erase it once you have inked up the drawing.  The pieces are then shared using the hashtag #inktober and #inktober2020.  There are various unofficial prompt lists to work with, but I am using the official list.

Here are my contributions since last Wednesday.

It will be tomorrow before I am able to visit as there is a socially distanced (in bubbles) open evening after school tonight for prospective pupils to our school.  Stay safe and happy WOYWW everyone.

Steampunk Journal Page

I seem to be permanently a month behind with the Mission Inspiration main missions.  This follows the September Steampunk theme and prompts.  The colours were Navy, Crimson and Sage and the choice of words was Gears, Invention, Clockwork, Mesh and Patina.

Clean and Simple Card for Sewers

For my last sample using the Words of Wisdom stamps from Clarity, I kept it clean and simple.  This card was aimed at people who enjoy sewing.

Row of Autumn Trees

For my final sample using the Trees and their Mantels stamps from Clarity, I decided to experiment with Distress inks.  I kept it clean and simple though.

For My Crafty and Artistic Friends

This stamp from the Words of Wisdom set by Clarity really spoke to me.

Autumn Tree Framed

As these Trees and their Mantels stamps can represent any time of year, I decided to combine one with the Entwined Autumn Heart Wreath set to create an Autumn card.

Words of Wisdom on a Brusho Background

I thought one of the Words of Wisdom stamps would look good against a Brusho background.  I believe I was right.  What do you think?
