What's on your workdesk? Wednesday 173

Hello everybody!
It's Wednesday again and here a little peak into my studio with little snippets of work, mess and my beloved fury friend "Yumi" (a goldendoodle). Hope you'll have a great day and don't miss to go to Stamping Ground for more desks!
Barbara

P.S. To the question what is in those jars (last post)? There are pigments, which I use sometimes when I mix my own colors.

Here: started with a mandala....

 .... and didn't like it at all!

 not as organized and neat like some of you think - the bitter truth...

Whats on your workdesk wednesday

In my case it must say what is next to your workdesk wednesday...
Yesterday evening I purchased this little Billy of ikea painted the back in dark lilac and built it together this morning to have a littlebit more storage and to make my workplace a bit more comfy for the autum/winter season - it got cold over night here - same with my little table and chair...
The ribbon drove me nearly crazy while trying to pimp up the ikea candles, but finally they gave up first!

So whats on your workdesk today, hope a lot of  creative project and chaos...
Have nice wednesday!
Love Barbara

P.S. For more lovely workdesk please got to here

Drawing Challenge SWIM

This weekends drawing challenge SWIM is hosted by the lovely and talented Rachel so please don't miss to go to her side to see all the other swimmers!

As you could see on my latest post I did the theme already, so I decided to draw a veil tail goldfish. They fascinate me a lot, I like the long wavy tails flattering and floating in the water, for me swimming at its best calming, free and easy.  I'm playing with the idea having a aquarium with a few of them - not quite sure if this is a good idea though...

Wish you all a pleasant weekend!
Barbara

on my desk today

Yes I'm little late today, I had to clean up my workdesk first (see the difference?), for collages I'm a messy worker, I need to see all scraps I might use, but sometimes I can't stand the mess anymore - this was the fact today. I promise it wont last very long ;/
For more desk please visit this blog.
