what's on your workdesk wednesday!!!

Cleaning out a kitchen drawer!
You know, the drawer that gets all the stuff you are not sure what to do with it.... and yet, you don't want to toss it!
And oh, ALL THE PENS AND MARKERS ! Some work ,some don't!
So, here's what I thought I would do with the pens. Cover a small journal!
Glue them on the front and back. Layout so far on 6"x6" art journal!

The pile on 1 corner which gets the projects I am going to do right away??????

What a cool idea! You know, they would look kinda cook glued to a canvas. :) Maybe I'll stick mine over one of my art disasters. xoxo Pam

Oh, oh, oh!!! What is that Golden pkg of Mix More Media? And, that pack of paper clay??? Have not heard of them. How do you use them? Maybe a good subject for a tutorial?

Oh My Peggy - what a great idea! You keep on pulling the ideas out and we'll copy 'em! I have er, *whispers* possibly more than one of those dead gadget drawers!!

Angie said...

Great idea for dead pens ....at least you wont grab a dead one instead of a working one, when in a hurry. I think every one has one of those drawers somewhere ...I seem to have one in every room and only clear them when they no longer shut lol

I love your recycled journal cover. Very clever. I used mine for boring things like picture frames, so I have to appreciate yours.

I really like your artistic style. It is quite in tune with mine. I hope you are enjoying your second week of WOYWW as I. Sorry I'm so late getting here. It has been a really overwhelming time for me. Hope you had a lovely WOYWW.
