WOYWW
I am usually a tidy (?) crafter but I went to bed last night and left this mess behind - can't believe it. I was so engrossed using my new Tim Holtz distress markers that I was still at it at 11 pm last night! I am also obsessed with this new honeycomb paper and have been using it to make dressmaker dummies (which Tim did in one of his recent videos) - they look amazing but will be difficult to post, due to their size I think.
I am going to tidy my desk now........
The honeycomb paper sounds very textural and yummy. I would love to see how your dressmaker dummies tun out.

Hi Gwen, I will put a close up on my blog tomorrow, if I can do a close up that is!
DeleteA creative, crafty work desk. I love the card that's on your desk :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great WOYWW and a fab week, Luv Karen xx
That passes as tidy in my house! Tim Holtz has a lot to answer for though - many hours seem to slip away when he is around.
ReplyDeleteSuch a tidy space. Lovely card on your desk, enjoy your pens.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun desk and no it doesn't look messy in the least! Wish I had some of those dress forms. Looks like lots of fun! Thanks for the visit! needlewings 65
ReplyDeleteMmmm I'm loving Tim's distress markers too. It looks a very busy desk and not a mess. Thanks for sharing, hugs,

Your space looks so tidy and orgainsed!! Cute teddy card too! Thought I'd follow your blog!! Sarah #129
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I am now following you too!
DeleteWhat do you think of the markers? I was tempted but not sure as I have some older type. Love your bear and thanks for visiting me this week.

I have blog candy if you are interested
Hi Ann, Tim Holtz's markers are better than any others I have used (Promarkers/Flexmarkers/Copic etc), the colours match the Distress ink pads exactly and so can be quite strong but they are easily 'let' down if you use the new picket fence white marker to dilute them although the colours always remain true. I did the bear entirely in the markers. Hope that makes sense.
DeletePerfect desk! There is al lot going on... Today I hear from these distress pens, they must be great to work with. Love the card you've made with this beautiful bear stamp :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me and have a crafty week. Bye, Franka
Hi Redanne,

I am a friend of Wanda (A Frayed of Fibers) and saw that you were new and wanted to come over and have a look at your art. :)
Your desk is very tidy and I love that bear card. :)
I have become a Follower of your blog and would love it, if you would become a Follower of mine too.
Come visit when you have a chance.

Hi Norma, I am now following you too. Regards, Anne Rx
DeleteSuch a neat little crafting space - thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove dress forms and would love to see what your making! I might not make it back until next Wed. maybe you could post one then? waving hi from the hills of North Carolina!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandee, have posted it today, hope you get the chance to pick it up.
DeleteWhen you use the honeycombe paper can you not just stick half of it on and then add a paper clip or something similar for the recipient to pull it across and hold it down? Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteLucky you having those pens.
Thanks for sharing and for commenting on my blog - Hugs, Neet 33
Great idea Neet, will try that way. Thank you!
DeleteWhoop Whoop, you have Sir Timmie's markers you lucky girl! I have joined as a follower as I want to see what you do with them, Love your desk, Have a happy week, Hugs May
ReplyDeleteThank you May, I am going to follow you too.
DeleteThat still does not qualify as messy, just a project left overnight, ready to continue the next day. Thanks for visiting me today, and for identifying my invertage for me. Have a good week. xx Maggie #11

I've heard a lot about this honeycomb paper. I've seen a heart done up in it. I can't imagine a dressmaker's dummy done that way, but wow, that would be cool. There are a lot of card designs out there these days that must cost so much to post in special boxes. I like to send mail so I try to avoid the bulky stuff!
ReplyDeleteThis desk just looks like it belongs to a lady having fun! Thanks for the visit.
ReplyDeleteI enlarged your photo to have a better peek at your desk and boy do you have lots of goodies on there. The dressmaker dummies look lovely.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Thanks for stopping by my place and commenting, so I could come by and see you. I will follow you. Welcome to blogland! I've only been on a few months myself and always get excited to gain a follower. I am very interested to keep tabs on how well you continue to like the Tim Holtz markers. (I didn't know about them.) I have not succumbed to the Copic Markers madness, but do love TH Distress Inks, so these markers might be put on my wish list. Have a great crafty week!
ReplyDeleteThank you Darnell, I will follow you too.
DeleteYou have my curiosity up about honeycomb paper???
ReplyDeleteAlso didn't know there are Distress markers. I have the stamp pads and color wash etc etc, Have fun!
Fabulous desk! cant wait for my honeycomb paper to arrive!
ReplyDeleteLove your desk! And the dressmaker tag is great! I have my distress pens on order and they have not yet arrived.... but who knows, maybe today! have fun, Linda
ReplyDeleteThis isn't tidy? My desk is MUCH worse than I thought ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

Food grief, I thought your desk looked pretty tidy...pick up a few pens and it's done!! The honeycomb paper works so well in all our die cutting machines...I've still got some stashed away from about ten years ago when I did children's parties in my shop!
ReplyDeleteA little late visiting.. love the little bear face..
ReplyDeleteLucky you playing with distress markers. I need them. That blue tag with the dress form on your shelf is so pretty. Hope you enjoy this week's snoop around the creative desks for WOYWW. I'm still nosing, I know it's Friday, but I will get to everyone! Take care Zo xx 81
ReplyDeleteI am so steering clear of those distress markers - why oh why do there have to be so many beautiful colours in the world?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure those markers are amazing fun - I would not have gone to bed! Hope you have fun with the Art Parts too! Look forward to seeing it. Thanks for the visit and for sharing with WOYWW? Sarah at 1.
ReplyDeleteLoving your desk so much crafty yummyness on there, O I want to come for a play, must get some honeycomb paper!! Have a great week, Hugs May x x x
ReplyDeleteGrogeous cards, tags and honeycomb paper on the dress form. Actually a lot of things on your desk look like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteLove your desk - honeycomb paper reminds me of my childhood christmas decorations - I didn't know you could still get it! It's now a must-have on my shopping list. Thank you for sharing your work desk
ReplyDeleteYour space really is not tht messy. I got 2 sets of the new markers and have not had time to take them out of the boxes yet. Honeycomb paper, interesting. I would love to see how it looks and works. #36
ReplyDeleteJust stick one side of the honeycomb and leave it flat to post. Put some double-sided tape on the other side and an instruction on how to open out to the recipient.
ReplyDeleteHugs Joanne xx
Honeycomb paper sounds fab! Love the looks of the projects that you are working on! Thanks for the peek at your desk! Have a fabulous WOYWW! -Amanda #39
ReplyDeleteYour space looks great! love the cards/tag I can see. I really want to get my hands on some of those markers. They look like so much fun to play with!
ReplyDeleteI keep hearing about honeycombe paper so must find some for myself! Great desk pic. Take care, enjoy snooping around the wonderful desks & enjoy this WOYWW. Zo xx 33
