Hello friends! So I've written and decorated every page inside now, yes it was hard going but I loved it. So much fun looking at spells and information about crystals etc. Just the cover left to do now, I'll post more pics once that's done. Yes it's huge I know hahah, I got a bit carried away. I'm please I made a huge spine for it as I thought I might go OTT. Thank you for spending some of your day with me! Crafty hugs Ellie x

Happy WOYWW! I can't believe it's Wednesday again, this week has flown by. So before I share my desk with you all, please feel free to join in or have a nose at some more desks. Click here to swing by the stamping ground to join in. You have all been so lovely and excited about my grimoire project so I shall share some more of the progress with you. So this first pic is the mess I've left my desk in after crafting most of Tuesday. I've got tuck spots and pockets made from vintage book pages. They have all been distressed with oxide inks. My new tonic glue stick that goes on purple and dried clear. Really enjoying using it so far, works well for pocket making. Here is a pile of ephemera/pockets and envelopes that will be going into my grimoire eventually. Do you like my flower pot on the far left? Hehehe More mess!!! The pens I'm using to write in different fonts. Grimoire so far. The pile on the right is pages with writing on. The left pile...

Good morning friends and happy WOYWW! It's so much fun seeing each others desks and taking part, visit the stamping ground to get involved. Thank you to everyone that visited my desk last week and left some lovely comments. Today I have an appointment so will probably visit other desks late afternoon. So here is my desk, very busy this week... My grimoire binding screws arrived, yay! I tried them out and they fit perfectly. In the background some finished atcs. Hole punch at the ready for my pages.  The inside back page of my grimoire so far. My huge mod podge pot. Love it! A selection of 12x12 pages I trimmed down for my book. Adore these, gorgeous florals and William Morris. Love his art <3 Coffee !  Using my gansai Tambi watercolours to make some pages that I can write over if I wish. My favourite watercolours, so much fun to play with. Start of a little embellishment use card board. Finished little embellishment....

Good morning friends! Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday! If you wish to take part or have a look at some more desks, click here. So today's desk contains my latest project, I am making a grimoire. I've made the cover from thick board and covered it with faux leather. The inside pages I have inked and used different techniques on. This is very similar to a junk journal. I'm just waiting for my binding screws to arrive so I can assemble it. The last job will be filling all the pages with information. Thank you for spending some of your day with me. Crafty hugs ! Ellie
