WOYWW 264

It's great Julia's feeling better and back to desking over at her Stamping Ground...

Here's my desk on Tuesday evening...


I've just started this e-course (there's a button in the sidebar) - the notebook contains words/images that 'speak' to me - one of which are bowls and spoons...

And I must show you this stunning calligraphy which Alison sent me - a beautiful belated birthday gift (though it's hard to get a good photo)



I shall treasure it for years to come - thank you so much, Alison :-)

Now I hope my internet connection holds long enough, so I can visit lots of fun desks today - fingers crossed...

PS The photo-card propped up against my pots is 'Creativity' from Wisdom of the Crone deck to inspire me at my desk...

  7. Loved hearing you chose bowls and spoons for words/images that 'speak' to you. Unusual and refreshing.

  8. Hi Claire,

    Love your drawing of the bowl and spoon. I imagine a nice bowl of oatmeal on a cool morning. Although it's not cool here right now and we are headed for a heat record.

    What a beautiful piece from Alison. I love the saying and she framed it in zentangles and doodling.

    Thank you for visiting me already.
    Happy WOYWW

  10. What a lovely blog post - I go weak at the knees when I see things in colour sequence - those pastels are irresistible in their tin like that! And I love the sketch of the bowl and spoon. The calligraphy is spectacular - what a wonderful gift to receive and wise words too! Thanks so much for stopping by my desk, hope you have a good week,

  11. Lovely drawing, fab gift! Pastels? Crayons? Not familiar with what you're using to draw, Carole. Yes I'll be sharing the ATC album. Shouldn't take long to complete. I'm using all the envies and paper snippets for a collage for the covers. Thanks for the earlier visit! Hugs and Happy WOYWW! Nan G #77

  14. Love your calligraphy present, I had a dabble at that many moons ago, and I am with Diana on the tin of pastels I got the same feeling as a child when opening a new tin of paint, or box of pencils, do I need help.lol I envy you being able to draw I could never get the perspective right.. Enjoy your art. Lottie # 80

  19. there is something a bit restful about a bowl.... must be the curved shape or something. Love the zentangling on your pressie.

  20. Well, I'm hoping for inspiration vicariously then! I have a thing for spoons and crockery generally, so I love your theme for this week!
