WOYWW and Inktober catchup

 Happy What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday.  Now, to be honest, I took this photo last night, i thought it was an ideal situation to update that I have finally finished Inktober, only almost a month late, but I finished and thought I would share.  I have taken part in Inktober for about 8 or 9 years now, at the start I sketched and abandoned the art where I was sketching, then 7 years ago i decided to start doing them on tags (easier to keep in my bag and sketch on the go) which I also abandoned.  Then, 6 years ago I decided to keep them, on a split ring and hang them above my desk.  Good for referencing back and seeing how my style may have changed. As you can see they hang on the underneath of the shelf at the top of my desk (which for about 15 years now has been a computer desk with the printer above and a pull out keyboard underneath. So much easier than sketchbooks etc and really easy to flick through.


these are the tags, this year I chose to colour them with inktense pencils


Some of the daily prompts I really struggled with, hence it took me so long to catch up.  The ones I mainly struggled with were "scurry", "forget", "salty", "bluff" (must admit went back to my o level geography days for that prompt!) "tempting" and "uh-oh!"
But got there in the end and pleased I finished as I have taken part for so long and do enjoy it.  No "man bites dog" cards this week (as they fell behind the desk so need to get my grabber and ferret around to find them!) but aware also I need to crack on with Christmas stuff at some point!

So, whats on your workdesk?

Woyww

 Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday and look, stuff! I used those paints up!! I made 4 backgrounds 2 blue, black and white and 2 green, red and grey. Not sure what to do next, to be honest will probably look at Mary Anne, Helen and Angelas blogs as i find they usually have some fantastic masterboard and technique ideas. Thinking maybe stencils and more paint! 



Also on my desk i am finishing off Inktober! Yes, I know, almost a month behind but when  finished i will take some photos and share them. 

My 'Man Bites Dog' cards this week-'crazy model wife wanted!' Or could be 'wife wanted crazy model!' 

Anyhoo, what's on your workdesk this Wednesday?

WOYWW

 Happy hump day where we share our desks across the globe, thanks to the lovely Julia over on stamping-ground.blogspot.com 

So, not much on my desk this week as its the same mess as the past couple of weeks, just gets pushed to one side!  However, on my desk is my travel sketch book.  I did manage to get to this months Bristol Urban Sketchers meet up at Underfall Boat yard.  I love meeting up with them, such a talented bunch and its 2 hours of time just for me and sketching, something that I rarely get to do.  Sadly I wasn't able to stay long after for a catch up but was great to see all the drawings.


My "man bites dog" cards this week are "Angry Lover Snubs Cop" - wow, good headline considering these are randomly drawn from the pack!

So, whats on your workdesk  this week?

Woyww 700

 Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday.  Its the 700th WOYWW that the lovely Queen of Desks over on Stamping-ground.blogspot.com created and runs, an amazing group i am pleased to have been part of.

Only a very quick update as the pay the bills job is full on so very little time for much else at the moment. 


On my desk is my 365 and bullet journal as i am trying to quickly get them in order for November! At the back is the inevitable pile of pushed back paint tubes from last week, not moved them! I will at some point, honest! Even if just to put them back in the storage box,lol! 

Still catching up with inktober so am hoping to post an update on that soon.

My Man Bites Dog cards this week-last heiress burns drugs! Well, anything is possible!! 

So, what's On your workdesk?
