Uh oh, for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, hosted by Julia over at Stamping Ground, I have joined the messy team this week. I even had to open the drawer to put some papers since there wasn't enough desk! Just when I thought I could stay on the neat team!
I did another page in my Altered Book and all I need to do to finish it is to put the verse. I haven't decided how to do that. Hand letter? Shall I print it out and paste it on? See, I'm trying out some letters I cut out from a magazine.
I gave this page a layer of wall putty, and did the drawing with colored pencils. Then I pasted on some bible verses around the lamp, and covered them with some wall putty (maybe a little too much since you can hardly see them). Here's a close up...
Then I used watercolor, a bit of pen, and my brand new copic markers (love them!) to add more colors. Ramona, from Create with Joy guessed the verse right for my AB's previous page. Can you guess what verse I will put on this page?
And, you ask, if those were the materials you used, how come your desk is all a mess and filled with paper? Well, I want to do more collaging in the next pages, but wow, I realized that I can't be neat when making a collage! But then, I am so enjoying myself, I am sure you will excuse the mess.
What's on your workdesk? It's a Wednesday, so come and show us!
Oh I love your work. It's so relaxing to look at it. This is such a beautiful page and the colors are working so well together.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day! :)

I love your pages. Your drawings are beautiful. I hope you get to grips with the lettering.

Oh Wow and WOW again! Love those pages. You are so talented. I don't care if you join the untidy crew when you come up with such beautiful work. Just keep creating!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the cold recipe/remedy.
To be honest Peggy - with this sort of artwork to gaze at, I didn't notice the mess...and anyway, I love it and revel in your coming over to the messy side!
ReplyDeleteI think you are entitled to be messy if it has anything to do with the standard of the work you rpoduce, another stunning page!! Sorry I am late... life and the list.... Annette #9
ReplyDeleteLove your artwork. Sorry I am late. Susan xxox #17
ReplyDeleteAnother late week...more great art! This week I'm guessing Psalm 119:105 - Thy word is a lamp unto thy feet and a light unto thy path.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous week!

I am late commenting! You use very interesting techniques and your art is just sooo beautiful - it is always a pleasure to come to your blog!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

You have such a way with painting. You never disappoint. Thanks for your sweet comments about Bleubeard. Sorry I'm so late getting here. You would think since I had most of my obligations out of the way, I would have freed up a bit more computer time. Unfortunately, what happened was, I was so far behind, I became overwhelmed. Will try to do better this week.
