WOYWW #588


Welcome, just where does the time go?  Wednesday's is the day we share our workspace. Ms Julia at the  STAMPING GROUND invites anyone to play along. Some of us have been blogging friends a long time.

My desk this week:


Some sticks I picked up from our wind storm.  My attraction was the variance of colors. And an idea I've had at some  point and times. We were very fortunate to only have leaves/sticks plaster our house and yard.
80 MPH winds just north destroyed trees, corn crops, buildings. And hail was more gentle here then there also. 

Then I picked up leaves and Echo dyed papers with them and some avocado peel, boiled with tea bags and water for the colors here drying on a screen.  


Leaves removed and this is what I'll use in journals eventually:

The very bottom one to the left was on the bottom.  I have chicken wire at the bottom of the roaster and It picked up the design great.  Much darker as my water evaporated.  I'll have to watch more close the next making.  You'll have to enlarge the photos for better images.  

I am playing catch up in various areas of our house,  as hubby took the rainy day to go to the casino.  I had to bow out  I worked with Salsa, Roasted tomatoes, Yellow beans all day yesterday and now have left leg and sciatic pain. We also turned on our furnace. It was only in the 40's here today !!! What a crazy world we live in.  Temps and Rain are to be here all week.  Even snow in States West and North of us.  

Thanks for all the kind comments last week.  Hoping things are good your way in many ways.

I really love your creativity! Those papers are amazing my friend. I always have many sticks under my trees but never bring them inside...you have the wheels in my head definitely turning! We are beginning to have a change in the season here but nothing like you...we just are beginning to experience cool temps in the morning and not so hot during the day and leaves are beginning to change just a tad. I can't imagine snow in early Sept. like some states are having.

Your weather has gone crazy over there - I can't believe the drop from almost 40 degrees C down to freezing/snow in Colorado! I love your shadow pics - I wonder what you will do with them - show and tell please. xx Jo

Glad to hear the weather didn't cause you damage. I really love the background pages you've been working on....so clever.
Have a great week.

Just to say - the cards are fabric. The dinosaur is just cut out from a piece of printed fabric and each piece is Bondawwebbed onto the background. The elephant is my own design. Thanks for asking - I might update my post now! xx Jo

It's so good to see what you're doing with th leaves, twigs and dyeing and will be intr sting to see what you get up to with them! The weather has been bonkers in the US hasn't it? It's been more settled here in the U.K. and is lovely at the moment.

Hi Sylvia, those papers are fantastic. I absolutely love them. I would never dream of being so creative. They will look magnificent, I'm sure. Have a lovely week and take care, Heather xx #14

I love all the beautiful bits of nature that you have collected, Sylvia, and oh my goodness, what you have done with them! Those papers are just brilliant. So subtle and delicate. The chicken wire one came out really lovely too. How did you actually do it? So sorry you've got sciatica - very painful and uncomfortable. I'm sorry I didn't visit last week - just looked down at your previous post and see what fabulous veggies you have been growing! They look amazing. It seems you have been working very hard in the garden - hope you haven't been overdoing it and brought on the sciatic pain! I hope you feel a lot better soon. It sounds as if the rapid change in the weather where you are has come as a bit of a shock!

Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi x #2
