WOYWW

Happy WOYWW
On my desk this week is....a can of ginger beer (love ginger, I drink ginger tea, eat fresh ginger, drink fizzy ginger...you get the idea!), a plastic pot at the back that I wash my brushes out, a cardboard box I am painting to decorate...its a lovely little box that I think will be good for storage (you'll never guess what its from.....I will post at the end!!) and a canvas board that I have decided to paint (I have only gesso'd and given a coat of texture paste so far).







My Man Bites Dog cards this week are "Cruel MOB boss rips off thousands"....never a truer word said as I write this whilst listening to the budget being announced!!

NB
The cardboard box?  Well, in the UK you can pick up free STD tests in chemists.....they come complete with a lovely thick cardboard box and also a small plastic test tube (perfect for beads I am thinking)!!!!  I am always on the lookout for free stuff I can use!!!

  2. Okay Kyla... that has to be the most ingenious piece of upcycling I've seen so far. STD kits? Who knew! And 2 freebies in one haul. Better! Looking forward to the finished canvas. Creative Blessings! Kelly

  3. Lol those cards make me giggle every week! Always can find some truth in them that relates to what's going on! And that box is just ingenious lovely, just don't keep going back for more, otherwise they may think you have a problem!! Can you imagine their faces if you told them what you really are using it for?! Ha ha Enjoy desk hopping. Take care Zo xx 87

  5. goodness Kyla if you're not in the bins you are frequenting the clap clinic...my kind of Gal, unafraid to pursue the found objects an Artist needs for making masterpieces...

    I like the idea that the Russian dirty money is about to be stolen by Europe from Cyprus...so your man bites dog is indeed apt this week...
