I'm in the middle of graffiti-ing a canvas for my eldest's birthday on Sunday. (The big 13!) I'm also trying to loosely incorporate the Fiskarettes competition sketch.
Loving the way the nail varnish is retaining it's 3D glossiness as it dries. And yes, that's my QVC card being using as a paint scraper. *gasp* Well, I think I've used it a grand total of once in the years I've had it, so might as well earn it's drawer space.I'm way behind on my blogging and hopping with the girls being home from school so am looking forward to a day of catching up with everyone today. Get the kettles on, I'm on my way.
Thanks for stopping by and if you want to play along with the desk nosiness cult that is What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday then visit Julia here and link up so we can all find you :)

A draining board seems like a very excellent multi-purpose crafting surface!! Like the look of what you're making there ....
ReplyDeleteI think your canvas is fab! Well done with your makeshift space today.
ReplyDeleteNot only is the kettle on, but I have a large salad with home made dressing for ya...LOVE the canvas, you do seem to respond creatively to a deadline. And my QVC card - same amount of use, so great to see it being re-purposed!!

ReplyDeleteJust thought I'd drip on by today {ya just know that grafitti rocks}. Checking up on you, making sure you're crafting regularly and all that. Love that you're using your drain board wisely. I love using fingernail polish in my crafts and I'm glad to see someone else using it as well! Happy happies Carmen de Duck.
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased to hear I am not the only one struggling to get on the internet this Easter. I am going to have to take one day at a time. My kids are just so busy. Can't wait for Satuday though.

ReplyDeleteWow I got tired scrolling down to get to the comments box - LOL! Soooooooooooooo many comments! I'm loving that draining board look this morning, the canvas is gorgeous and she's going to love it! I also have a confession to make I also use my QVC card as a paint scraper LOL - although I lost it last week (not finally lost just temporarily lost amongst those piles of things all around me) so I had to go rummaging through my purse, no sooner had I started using 'replacement' scrapper than my QVC one turned up!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a good Thursday - thinking about you today - fingers and toes crossed
Hugs
