What's on my work desk

This is my desk at the moment





Rather tidy for me at the moment. You can see my Prima pencils I have been using today, some watercolour tubes (thinking of trying on my Gelli plate) cutters, cricut mats, rubber stamp,new craft stamper mag,blending stumps and blending solution plus a few other bits and bobs!




Here I was having a little colour with my Prisma pencils




I did this picture as it reminded me of my Grandad here is a picture so you can judge



Looks rather like him, I think !!!!!!

So those of you using Gelli plates are you washing all your masks after each use? I am in two minds as to should I wash them every time or allow the colour on them to transfer onto my next work..... What are your views?




Thank you for stopping by and have a look round my crafty desk, if you would like to look at other arty desks click on the link on the right marked Stamping Ground and Julia will explain all.

    Great looking desk! I don't know if I could leave the masks unwashed due to my anal retentiveness. I hate having paint on my stencils. The pic of your granddad and the pic you colored do resemble a lot! Hope you have a great week. Vickie #36

    Hi Jackie
    wow some nice crafting stash on your desk today, love the images you have coloured.
    I do not have a gelli plate and not sure I would be happy with one as I am a clean freak
    Thanks for sharing your desk today, Happy WOYWW hope you have a great week

    I can be of no help with the gelli plates, they don't even have them here in South Africa yet. That stamp does look a lot like your grandfather.
    Happy WOYWW!

    Oh that stamp could have been modelled on your Granddad!

    So far we're washing our stencils off each week, or trying to remember to before the paint sets on them!

    Hugs from the bears @#79 this week.

    Love your pencil colouring and yes, the image is similar to your Grandad. I really do like the little garden hut - is that for an LO?
    Thanks for the earlier visit and the suggestion.
    Hugs, Neet 18 xx

    That drawing of your grand dad is precious! I have not tried the gelli plate thing but keep reading about it on Weds. I have to look this up online as I am so curious!

    That is a lovely representation of your Grandad - you really capture him judging by the photo. Thanks for letting me stop by. I've enjoyed it.

    I love the comparison between photo and drawing! Those masks look great, I have done both in terms of cleaning between projects or leaving things on them...it depends on the effects I want to get. I do clean them at the end of the session and put them away clean. Thanks for sharing. Happy WOYWW. Caro x (#133)

    I only wash the masks at the end of the session although they don't really come clean. I keep a large pad of scrap paper to press the masks onto after each print and also to 'clean' the brayer. I have achieved nice prints from the scrap.
    Thank you for visiting

    I adore your drawings- just great!
    Washing masks after use? sometimes I do, but sometimes it it nice having the colour rests sticking on your new work. Some nice effects sometimes.
    Thanks for having a look at my page #112

    OMGoodness, that stamp is the spit of your Gramps! How fab. Not gone the Gelli plate route yet... I am holding out to see if it is really me but I would be tempted to clean after use because you can bet the colour I used previously would not go with the colour I was now using! LOL Annette
