Goodmorning lovelies, welcome to my atelier on yet another ‘Workdesk Wednesday’. The atelier is in full swing; I work on several projects at the same time hopping from one page to another. I also bound a new art journal some time ago that I haven’t shown yet. Oh, and the mail-man dropped of new art materials… yes, dear ones, this post is full of colors and happiness… enter the atelier and take a look.
My desk, for WOYWW #386
The ‘King’ from the title, you ask? He’s on my desk… He appeared on the page for a reason but it’s quite a long explanation and I know our woyww-hostess Julia doesn’t want us to write long blog posts on Wednesday so I’ll save the story for some other time (I bet Jenny has an idea though 😉 )
New art materials
And there’s more happiness on my side desk! As you may (or may not) know, I am a member of Jessica Sporn Designs Creative Team (you can find the first video-tutorial that I made as a team member HERE) Being a team member is not only fun, it also comes with benefits. Of course there are Jessica’s beautiful stencils and stamps that I got to work with, but all team members also received a mixed media starter set of DecoArt products last week.
There were some products in the package that I only heard of but never worked with before, like crackle paste, and I got to say: I am in love with that stuff! I will show the results soon.
New Art Journal
As I said, I bound a new journal. I finished my “Zeeuwse Ziel” (Soul from Zeeland) last year and I started to miss it. So here’s the sequel: De Zeeuwse Ziel II

The size of this journal is 15,5 x 26,5 cm (6.1 x 10.4 inch) and it also contains fold-out pages. I added beads to the binding and I like how it turned out.
Oops… is this blogpost too long for the woyww-desk hoppers?
I won’t add more words then…
…
only a few more…
to wish you a wonderful week!
Nah, it’s not too long – I enjoyed reading about all that’s going on in your life! What a happy and productive desk you have this week – my favourite things are the turquoise beads on your book binding. Gorgeous!

Ooh, love that leathery binding! Looks very tactile with those beads. You lucky girl, getting all those supplies for free. Looks like Christmas came early! Have an arty week! zsuzsa #24
I recently bought some mixed media products but haven’t used them so far, really should. Happy WOYWW, Vicky #14
Hi Marit, I love the journal, and the beading detail is just the finishing touch. Have a great week, hugs, Shaz #1 xxx
Gr8 desk (so organised) and pix – suspect my own post’s a bit long today too – sorry everyone who visits!
Happy WOYWW

Your journal looks awesome – I love the blue color and the beads – they look like little eyes! The perks of being on a design team – I was on one many years ago and loved it! Thanks for sharing! Lindart #49
I always love visiting your desk. You may have lots of things going on on it, but it’s always so neatly busy. Your king looks great. Congrats on the design team and all the yummy goodies that came with it! I’m going to head over to see your video soon.
And, that journal is so lovely!!

Your blog post today was so full of joy and colour and inspiration that I feel like I was on a mini vacation! Thank you for sharing all your wonderful creations and I am LOVING that beaded binding journal you created!
Ooops… forgot to add: Happy belated WOYWW! from Lynne in Canada #51
Ben benieuwd wa je erin gaat maken .. zit er een oud boek in, of nieuwe pagina’s?
Ik gebruik meestal nieuw papier, 180 gr. medium fine “Schut” papier (Heelum – Holland)
Sorry I’m so late this week. Desk looks nice and organised and like the new stash. The new journal looks interesting too. Happy belated woyww, Angela x 20
Hello my mermaid sister ~
What a gorgeous journal ♥
That leather and nazar bead binding makes me want to reach into the screen to touch it.
Ooh la laa
Happy beginning of the weekend to you oxo
Wat ziet deze er ook weer práchtig uit. Ontzettend mooi met die kralen erin verwerkt.
Ik ben wel benieuwd wat voor lijm je gebruikt voor het leer!
