What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: I'm an Artist!

On my desk today...


my Madonna and Child work in progress and the One World One Heart prize I received from Bridget of  Stitchety Grub...(a "handmade textile bookmark made out of dispersal dyed fabric- with shiva/Markel stick embellishment, a butterfly and 3 Couronne (needle lace technique) dangly rings and a small mixed bag of textured threads and fabric scraps")...


a few pages of my childhood poems and drawings which I plan to scan...


two of my ATCs and the one on the right side is from Doone (thank you so much!)...


and the art materials I received from my hubby for our wedding anniversary last April 20!


This is what I came home to on my anniversary!  Surprise!  An easel and a canvas...


oil paints, acrylics, brushes, spatulas, Linseed oil, turpentine and even the funny shaped wooden palette that says to me, "You are an artist!"

 

Linking up to What's on your Workdesk Wednesday and inviting you to join my Easter giveaway!

    Such gorgeous artwork, you should be rightly proud of it. What a fabulous gift too- I would much rather receive gifts I will enjoy using, than something that will go away in a drawer, or gather dust on a shelf. Happy WOYWW, Shaz #76
