WOYWW: Work!

What's On Your Workspace Wednesday is where the crafty of the blogosphere go hopping to glance in admiration, envy and sheer pleasure at other workspaces.  The practitioners of tidiness and the "pile it high, push it back" brigade (no prizes for guessing my own school of working practice) can find plenty to marvel at under the supervision of Head Desk Meister, Julia at Stamping Ground.  Try the link to the left to explore further.

In a rare departure for this blog, this WOYWW post contains......drumroll......wait for it......WORK!

Below is the second page of the 2011 calendar.  Get ready for a red hot and pulsating February.  Now I'm not normally a girl for hearts (flowers are another matter entirely), but I thought that OH's birthday, which falls mid-month, deserved a big juicy red heart.  So I broke out the pigment inks again and swirled away vigorously with the kitchen towel.  The squared border is made of two overlapping ink pads, and there's a bit of pearlescent rocket red in the heart.  I've decided that I'll draw the date boxes freehand this month - which will be a bit traumatic, but I'm willing to give it a go - so for now, consider this a work in progress.

If you're interested in seeing an icy blue January 2011 page, you'll find it in the previous post.

And I do need to share some of my lovely sales stash from Hobbycraft: stamps, stickers, journal blanks, elegant dress form toppers, stamps from the sea and a twizzly wire worker that makes interesting beads.

Apologies in advance if I don't manage to get around all the WOYWW desks quickly this week.  I'll be away for a couple of days (house is occupied, so no harm in posting that here), and I don't know yet if we have WiFi access.  I did manage to do the rounds last week, and enjoyed a peek at lots of celebrations.  To the many of you afflicted by foul pestilences (pesteli?), I hope you are now on the mend.
