On the work table

Here are some pictures of what I've been working on lately. Some have already been sent out and some will be on their way soon! I have been trying to use up my paper stashes and have been working on all kinds of things!

A gesso over magazine trick. I really loved the image so I didn't alter it any, I just wanted that illustrated type look. It got a little wrinkled and the colors went wonky when I glued it to a postcard. I plan on hanging on to this one for a bit. It took a little more than an hour.

A pink postcard I made for mail me some art. It's a really  great site for homemade swaps!

Even beautified the pack!

A blue postcard for swap-bot. Basic collaging and some stamping.

Teacups! Made by putting gesso over Japanese book pages and using crayola markers over it. I love the look this technique has. Anyone else do this type of work?

A few pretty packages I sent this week.

Probably the prettiest piece of mail I've ever sent! It's made from an  old planner cover. The back of the planner had a little pouch, so I figured it would make an awesome envelope! Yay recycling!

I hate just tossing old planners, but it can be tricky to new projects with them!

It has been a busy week for rolos! I find that these suckers are faster to make than ATCs, for me at least. The one with a peacock does not have a home yet if anyone would like to set up a trade!

My favorite one that I made!

Second favorite! I'm trying to use up all of my security envelope paper! It's a daunting task!

The prize for most random goes to....

"Let the spirit of the adventure set the tone"

I have a whole stack of scrapbook paper that is just fancy lettering and words, but I'm having a tough time using it! This is one of the results...

I need a caption or a quote! Any takers?

APCs for a swap. I had fun making these by layer tissue papers and then just stamping over them. I think this works well when you have detailed stamps like these. The one on the top right corner is actually tracing paper over scrapbook paper. I stamped the main image and then stamped the other shape around the edges. Looking back I think I should have stamped the paper underneath and then stamped the main image on the tracing paper.

Security envelope ATCs. As much as I love the patterns on security envelopes, I find that it is actually a bit difficult to find a proper use for them! I like the way the one on the right came out, I think its because the colors just coordinate so nicely.

Anything fun on your worktable lately?
