Hi there sweeties, good morning! It’s Wednesday so yes, I took a photo of my desk this morning for woyww. It’s a clean and neat desk, as usual, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t create last week… you know me: I always clean up after I’d spend the day in my atelier. Besides; yesterday I started binding a new Chronicles Art Journal for 2017 and bookbinding is such a clean technique: no paint, no glue – just a needle and thread.
Oh, and beads. I added beads to the binding.
I want to create a cover in similar colors.. blue and grey. I might get my gelli plate out today and see what I can do…
And look what I found on my doorstep last week… isn’t that a beautiful strap? I guess it came from a backpack or a winter coat maybe?
I picked it up and am as happy as a clam with it. It’s perfect to use on my – yet to make – Top 2000 journal.
Remember my desk last week? I was creating mail art and it’s send by now so I can show it to you, front and back.
I hope you had a creative week and will have another one ahead… enjoy!
P.S. I added an extra page to my blog (button in the top menu) with “everything Top 2000.” Check it out. The Top 2000 list – 2016 will be available on December 19.

The mail art looks wonderful! So very busy and engaging! Lucky find – I wonder if anyone misses that strap, LOL, and then they spot it online – hey, wait a minute, that’s my strap, I want it back – sorry it’s been turned into art! Loving those long beads in the binding as well! Happy WOYWW! zsuzsa #17

Putting beads on the binding was a brilliant idea – it really adds to the overall effect!

Oh Maritime, that mail art is well, so arty! Absolutely amazing!
love the binding with the beads, you really know how to improve a thing! I never skip your desk on purpose….the tidiness and order is very calming for a personality like mine, and there’s also no doubt that you prove the theory to me – you get so much more done when things are tidy!

I wish I tidied up each time – would make life a lot easier. Like how you used the beads. Anne x #16

Heerlijk, als je zoiets zomaar vindt. Benieuwd wat je er mee gaat maken.
En je boekband ziet er geweldig uit met die fantastische kralen. Super!
