WOYWW? ... 6

Here I am again …. Now for WOYWWednesday before its Thursday … doesn’t it come round quickly?

The completed LO,s that were photos and paper, just sitting there, last week are safely on my other blog and this week I’m having a go at altering the tiny duck. She’s coming along quite well as I hope you can just see and I’m up to my elbows in glue and tissue paper … in fact my fingers keep sticking to the duck and lifting the paper off but I WILL succeed in covering every last millimetre …even if it kills me. I primed her with gesso before I started … not sure whether it helps or hinders the process, as this is my first attempt. I’m also trying to think of how to finish her off.

You may notice that there are still things left from the last two LO’s, as I just might need them again … soon … no that’s a lie … I’m just too lazy to put them away especially when I want to do something else. By the way Julia … the stapled packs at the back are my vain attempt to categorize my photos!

The one strange thing on the table, for those that noticed, is a piece of paper with what looks like a shopping list …. It’s actually a recipe … well nearly one, as I am working on it… Healthy Flapjacks. Yes I know …. those two words do not go together in the same sentence ...but the test run was yummy if I say so myself.

I have decided … just now … as I was typing …. I’m calling her DEL as she is Psychedelic lol and I thought I would give you a close up of her so far, any way.


Thank you for leaving your thoughts on why you scrap … it made interesting reading and I ‘m glad Posterity and Memory still seems to come before Work of Art.

Thanks for reading this

Take care xx
