Am a bit later than normal, but I've only just got up. I'm loving the Easter Holidays, no real routine to follow so me and my boy can just chill. Fab!
Right my desk -
Just as the title says - a little bit of this & that - there's my new journal which I'm creating Zentangles in along with the pens I'm using to do this, my Altered Book project (I'm not following any tutorial specifically, I'm just playing and seeing what happens, random, very much like me!) and my box, that I'm altering, is sat there drying off ready for the next bit..... whatever that may be as I don't know yet! Seeing it like this I realise I do like using blue!
OK, for once, I know.......... I can hardly believe it either, I'm being super brief (trying to earn brownie points off Julia!) so head over to Julia's (The Stamping Ground) to see what all of this desk showing off is about!
Take care and enjoy snooping!

Very clever book design. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI am just playing with ink and colour and techniques for my altered book as well...but love what you have done with the 'niche' for yours. I will do mine once I 've finished the rest of my book. Not really sure what i am going to do yet.
ReplyDeleteWould have loved to have seen Vincent's work in the flesh !! I think he has a very textured look to his work!
Thanks for dropping by. I'm going to do the second part of y journey round the blows later tonight.... lol

I like the look of the altered book ... #79
ReplyDeleteThe zentangles look fantastic, and so does the niche in your book! I really want to do a ragged one like this after I saw Gabrielle's.... better find another book!!
ReplyDeleteHelen, 18
My knitting seems to be in a blue phase too. Love your random book, it's great to be different. Enjoy the rest of the week with your son.

That zentangle is so finely detailed - it looks like some really intricate Indian artwork!! I love it :)
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ #7 xx
Love your zentangle, have only just discovered them and love them, but yours is fab.
ReplyDeleteLove your AB looking fab... your zentangles are just amazing work, Happy Easter Hugs May x x x x No11
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes, those are some intricate zentangles...I'm finding this technique very interesting and there are so many paper crafters using it....I need to look away now before a new hobby begins...Happy WOYWW #31
ReplyDeleteYou're a Gashead and it leaks into your crafting colours! I'm going to be the opposite tomorrow and look for red papers etc as I don't have any, and that's my fave colour! Altered book is looking fab, even at such an early stage - I clicked on the pic to make it bigger, and do I spy those Papermania dressform/typewriter papers you told me about inside the 'niche'?! Lovely x Not sure how I feel about the stack of torn-out pages beside...but I'm taking deep breaths and reminding myself it's a library-ok'd book/project! See you in the morning, Debs xxx
ReplyDeleteVery intriguing projects on your desk!!
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of zentangles, but I think my son would love them!!!
Enjoy your holiday!!

ReplyDeleteHi Zo I want to try all the things that are on your desk today!! I look forward to seeing them complete. Zentangle looks fab. I bet that whiled away a few hours! Happy WOYWW and thanks for popping by my desk Helen 29
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Zoe, I just love the niche you created for your AB, that is mezmerizing to say the least. I had to get a close up shot of it to get a better peek, I love how it looks like a pond, or a geode...it's fascinating! And those zentangles are really coming along, you must still be enjoying making them! #44 and waving hi from the spring laden hills of North Carolina :)

OMG! Zoe you have so much going on on your desk today. I love them all but my eye keeps going back to the zentangles book!. I had to look close up and you are a patient person to do all that delicate work. Thanks for sharing. Vickie #60
ReplyDeleteWell Zo, im here and it's still Wednesday, so I guess the shorter posts are helping a bit!! Like all the blue you've got going on, and the torn niche, very clever.
ReplyDeleteYour projects look intriguing and your zentangles are very cool. (I like blue a lot, too.) Happy WOYWW from Laura #118
ReplyDeleteYour altered book project looks intriguing and your zentangles are amazing. Hope you are having a happy WOYWW. ~ Laura #118
ReplyDelete[Trying again, hoping you won't get double comments from me. Blogspot doesn't seem to like it when I post with my Typepad credentials.]
Looking forward to packing up for Easter, ,will be nice to spend some crafty time!

Happy woyww
Debs #160
wow wow wow just love the way you've done the niche in your altered book. And that huge page of zentangles is amazing!! (Actually given me an idea of something I can take to do when I'm on jury service later this year - won't need much in the way of materials!!). Thanks for stopping by to see me - Happy Easter! Cindy #67 (PS just you don't love holidays and not having to get up for school!!)
ReplyDeleteIsn't that funny how sometimes you get a different view of your own stuff and get a sense of it you didn't notice before-like with your use of blues. You have lots of different projects going on to keep you out of trouble (or maybe in trouble) and I like what I see on all of them. Those zentangles sure are addicting.
ReplyDeleteGreat AB and your zentangles are so captivating! Have a great week and Happy Easter! #141
ReplyDeleteLovely zetangle.
ReplyDelete#107
I think you earned your Brownie points this week - you kept it short but sweet. And you are so busy too - all those projects on the go at once - like the niche in your altered book and your box looks promising too. I don't have the patience for zentangle but yours is great. Happy Easter and have a wonderful holiday. Elizabeth x #147
ReplyDeleteThat journal page looks great Zoe. Have a good Easter Holiday. Don't worry, the Tidy thing won't last with my desk!!
ReplyDeleteLove those zentangles - seeing a few around and they fascinating! Yours is/are so intricate - good for stress relief? If so, I could try in between making wedding invites :) Thanks for calling by today! Di xxf
ReplyDeleteNice tangles and I look forward to seeing more of that book! Have a Happy Easter and WOYWW! Warmly, Tracy #28
ReplyDeleteWow Zo, that book is amazing! It's so three-dimensional, and I just love the way you've inked the edges. It's so intriguing!! Also your zentangle is nothing short of stunning. I've never done such a big one!! Fabulous! Your whole desk looks amazing - I love the box with the pieces of text on it - are these the cut-outs from the altered book?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment on my blog. Glad you like my plankton! I've downloaded a whole lot of images of diatoms which are exquisite and just crying out for zentangling...
Happy WOYWW,
Shoshi #25
