This week I've made another collage for my journey through The Collage Workbook by Randel Plowman - for this one I had to use one word only in it and not a lot else!
In my newly reorganised studio I've 'lost' a sepia pen, two bottles of epoxy resin and a small office date stamp - each has been put in a convenient, logical and completely different place to where they used to live! I am resisting buying more as I know that as soon as I do they will resurface! However, despite having no sepia pen I've managed to start a new collage!
This week has also seen more happy mail - a beautiful ATC and card from Sylvia, it arrived more quickly than I thought and I love the little extras - thank you so much Sylvia. That leaves just one ATC due and I have a horrible feeling it's probably been lost in the post but I'm keeping my fingers crossed it might still turn up.
I'm linking up with Julia over at WOYWW this week.
I have two ATC's coming but doubt one will arrive as she has not replied to my message as to how to get my address. Not to worry.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, Diana, I know only too well how reorganising can lead to missing things., I lost my Mica flakes for so long that when I did find them I had forgotten what I wanted them for. I don't think that will happen with your pen but it did happen to me.
The new collage looks lovely and I am amazed that you managed to do the one word and hardly anything else page. Well done!
Hugs Neet 1 xx
Lovely artwork as usual Diana, I do like a bit of sepia, your collage will be beautiful! I’ve emailed you about the ATC xx

I do that all the time, sort out things and put them in “better”places, but go back to where they were and can’t find them. Hope they turn up without you having to go and buy more. Happy WOYWW. Angela #2
ReplyDeleteFabulous artwork Diana - especially with the limited resources allowed. Hope your stuff turns up and the outstanding ATC too. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #9
ReplyDeleteNow you've made me happy and I know it's not just me that puts things in safe places and then can't find them but you're right not to buy new, I've done that before and then found the lost one before the new one arrived. I even did that with the pattern when making my wedding dress so it's not something that has developed as I've got older, I've always been able to do it Lol! Pleased the ATC arrived, I think I have just one more to come. Well done in getting on with the collage projects too, I'm saying nothing about my efforts at the moment other than I keep getting distracted with other stuff! Have a lovely woyww. Hugs, Angela x6x
ReplyDeleteI love re-organising but dread the fall out - as you say there is always something in its new, logical place that eludes me - sometimes for years!! Gorgeous artwork as always, Happy WOYWW, Cindy xx #17
ReplyDeleteMine arrived from Sylvia too. I love having happy mail dropping in.

Hellooo Diana 🤗 it's such a joy visiting you, I love your style 💕 adore your collage.Can I ask did you carve those pretty stamps? Whenever I tidy up the same happens .. I always think I'll remember were I put things 🙃 Thank yooou so much for your lovely words on mine 🤗 the Littlies are being warmly welcomed, winging to their very own forever homes 🤗 it brings such joy. Hellooo to your wee Betsy 🐹 Have a gorrrrgeous week ahead. Much love and hugs Tracy #11 xxx
ReplyDeleteWell at least your comment showed up on my blog this week. I really don't know what's up with it for everyone else????
ReplyDeleteCan't make out the word, such a tease, love the little cross stitch. Great leaf stamps too, I guess you made those, super. BJ#12
That is what puts me off reorganising! hope the missing items turn up soon. the latest collage is fab! Happy Woyww helen #5
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's not just me who puts stuff away nicely and then forgets where it is. It does usually happen when I have found a new home for something - never a good idea! Your artwork is lovely - I love the thought of something with sepia - it's always so soft and ageless. xx Jo
ReplyDeleteSo glad you received it. I have NO Faith in the mailing system.. but I actually think mail out of USA is much quicker than within...no one here wants to work full time...don't show up/ play on their phone's 1/2 the time . it's a horrific mess. Enjoy a great weekend our weather today is great. No wind and in the 70's
ReplyDeleteI hope all your things turn up before you buy more as you say do that and they will surface as things always seem to, Take care and tay safe,

Lovely ATC from Sylvia, I had one too! I've been trying to re-organise too...then of course I forget where I've moved things! (They're here somewhere!) Have a great week! Happy Late WOYWW ((Lyn)) #15
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work as always. I do like sepia. I have been reorganising etc, quite a few things now lost - hopefully to be found soon and welcomed back. Take care. Anne x 19
ReplyDeletelike the layering you did on your collage. Good luck finding those things missing, I do the same thing when I reorganize.
ReplyDeleteI always love the things you do. I may have to get that collage book!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW! Susan #16
