What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: Women Works in Progress

Happy WOYWW, my dear blog friends!  Here is my desk today.  As you can see, I decided to put my Paint Pods in a cardboard tray.  I can take them out when I am painting and slide them under the desk to keep them.

While tidying up, I found some half finished ATCs.  I am getting ready for a trip to the beach for the long weekend and deciding what to bring along.  Perhaps I will finish these ATCs.  I know, I know, what a thing to bring to the beach, huh?

My Madonna WIP is sporting a new halo...

And what about you?  What have you been up to?  Join in the fun of showing off your mess, I mean, desk!  Here's the WOYWW list!

Orange Day!

It's Orange Day every 25th of the month.  Please wear orange if you would like to participate in the UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign, raising awareness about the issue of violence against women and girls.  I'm wearing orange today!

Linking up my orange painting with Paint Party Friday.

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: Paint Pods

I am trying out some new paints on my WIP Madonna.  One day in the hardware store, my sister Patsy saw a bunch of "Paint Pods" (sample colors) on sale for ₱20 ( £ 0.31 or $0.48) each.  Of course we couldn't resist buying a whole bunch.  But since I don't have space for them, they are still in a bag on the floor beside my desk...

Join us at WOYWW and take a peek at what's up in crafter's desks from around the world or better yet, show us yours!

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: Back to Normal

For WOYWW this week, gone is the spotless desk and it's back to normal after my trip to Korea last week (and this is after I already tried to tidy it up).  Today's prayer journal page in progress is about the Fruit of the Spirit.  As I drew and colored, I reflected in the ways I have grown in these areas and in the many other ways I still need to grow...

Here are some cheap paint brushes from Korea...

and as promised, I had Mr. Random pick a winner for my giveaway and he picked...

Gill , who said... "I love the first one - 'seek and ye shall find'" and so I will be sending her this painting as soon as I get her address...

In case you are interested, here are some photos from Korea (with apologies to Julia for my long post)...

It happened to be the Korean Traditional Performing Arts Festival and there were a lot of performances and exhibits.  Here is a booth where you could paint some masks...

and here is a Korean felting artist in her studio in Bukchon...

I went to the artsy "Free Market"near the Hongik University where artists and crafters display and sell their original works on Saturday afternoons from March to November.

From October 1 to 7, it was also the Hi Seoul Festival 2012, "a spectacular assortment of outdoor performances by Korean and overseas street art groups."

Happy WOYWW, dear blog friends!

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: Souvenirs

I wonder if you can figure out where I am.  This isn't my usual desk and it is filled with travel souvenirs and my prayer journal.

Making a blog post using the iPad is hard for me!  Let me know if you have any tips for me. And drop by other desks for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday!

There's still time to join my giveaway for a chance to win one of my original paintings. Just leave me a comment in my giveaway post (more chances to win if you are a follower)!   I will pick a winner by October 14.

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: Space!

I finally tidied up and here is my desk today, with lots of space!  Last Saturday, we had a painting session and here is a picture of the painting I made...

Julia, who hosts What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, reminds us to keep our posts short.  I usually have a hard time doing that.  But this time, I am posting from an iPad and I can't seem to get blogger to do what I want.  So I will just have to end now.  Happy WOYWW, everyone!

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: Paints

Dear blog friends, thank you so much for dropping by!  I have been quite busy and haven't been able to go visiting so please forgive me if I haven't been able to return your visits.  I will try to do better this week.  I still haven't had the time to tidy up and the pile on my desk is even higher, this time with my paint tray on top.

Here is the Mother and Child I was working on.  I haven't decided if it is finished or if I will go back to it later.  Meanwhile, I started on another painting, just so that I would have something new on my desk to show you...

There's still time for you to join my giveaway.  If you want a chance to win one of my original paintings, please leave a comment in my giveaway post.  

Drop by Julia's Stamping Ground and get a peek at more desks!

Edit:  And because it is now Friday and I didn't have time to make a new post, I thought I'd share my paintings here with blog friends from Paint Party Friday and Studio Sneak Peek as well!

WIP for PPF

Just a quick post to share with you my WIP.  I started out with a piece of Illustration board, glued on some scraps of music sheet images and scrap papers, did some stamping and covered it with a light layer of gesso. And if you have been visiting me for some time, you'll know that the mother and child theme is one of my favorites.

Sharing this with blog friends in Paint Party Friday and Studio Sneak Peek!

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: Macau Souvenirs

If you visited me last week for the weekly WOYWW link party, it may seem like I got to do some tidying up this week...

But alas, that pile from last week is even higher because of some souvenirs which I collected from our trip to Macau over the weekend.  On the top of the pile is the ticket to an awesome show we watched, "The House of Dancing Water."

If ever you are in Macau, be sure to watch it!

I got to do a bit of painting, and here is my WIP...

If you haven't yet, there's still time for you to join my giveaway!  One comment in my giveaway post will give you a chance to win your choice of one of my original paintings.  

Drop by Julia's Stamping Ground and get a peek at more desks!

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: Nothing New

It's been a very busy week, with absolutely no time for play! And so there's nothing new to see!  Here are my paintings for my giveaway.  If you want to have a chance to win, just leave me a comment in my giveaway post (more chances to win if you are a follower)!  

On the other side, is a pile of stuff that I need to put away.  I hope my desk will be cleaner next week for our weekly show and tell, WOYWW!

And in case you were hoping to see some art, here are a few pages from my prayer journal...

to share in Inspire Me Monday, Word Art Wednesday,  Random Journal Day, Heartprint Hallelujahs,  Faith-filled Friday, Paint Party Friday, and Art Journal Every Day.
