Goodly morning friends
Julia of
Stamping Ground has got us all hooked on a big show and tell of workplaces every Wednesday. So, here I am AGAIN, sharing my workplace. However, this week I'm not showing you my shed, not because it's a mess or anything. It's just that I've been working on my dining table the last couple of days. So that is what you get to see today!
Not too messy (I'd be hung, drawn, quartered and shot at dawn if I dared to bring Dylusions spray inks near this table) So because I've been working with pens rather than paint; and the computer is here too; and I had stuff here from Sunday's class that really should have been packed away but wasn't ..... I just stayed.
A few weeks ago you may remember this pouch was closed on my desk. A few of you wanted to know what was inside. Well, there are two little books that I made, along with a couple of small pens, so I have a place handy to write quotes etc. As you can guess, it was being used this morning!
Then I have been finishing off some pages. I don't know about you but when I journal I tend to create loads of background pages without actually finishing them. Now, I'm just kinda catching up and actually finishing some of them. This is one in my Dylusions Journal.
Then a couple of my smaller books are getting worked in too, like this one which was really just waiting for the right words.
Then there is the sample and trial pieces from Sunday's class which hasn't found a home yet.
Lastly, there is this page which I just love!, I'll go into a bit more detail about this, along with more close up pictures in a later post.
So there you have it, my current workplace, close to the kitchen so I'm going to pop the kettle on. See you later!

Love the colors in your journals, they are so bright and beautiful.. Those birds are great love them. I have only just started with art journaling. I love it its so nice to able to just have the freedom to just pop what you want on the pages.. Still so much to learn..

Now you see, while I love the mad chickens in your Dylusions journal, I also love the monochrome flower from the class!! It proves you are a man of many talents!!!
Hugs, LLJ 27 xx
Hey Neil-
Great journal pages...I find it hard to create the background and then go back to it. I seem to lose the thread or something, so it's fun to see someone's process with that. Still in love with the pouch...the depth and colors just draw me in...and the flower is awesome too. Have a good week!

Oooh lots of lovely stuff there - just be warned though that I moved temporarily into the dining room a couple of years ago and now live in here! it just kind of happens..... oh and those sprays will soon be used in there too and you will forget about the table and carpet..... Thanks for sharing. Sunshine Girl 31.
So many journals on the go... I "only" have 2... I tend not to write much personal stuff in mine, but must look out some quotes to use. Stunning colours on your pages, love them! Helen 3
Great looking journal pages Neil! I love the pouch you made to store your books in also! Hope you have a great week and thanks for sharing! Vickie #41
As I noted in an earlier post's comment, you really are on a creative roll and today's post proves my point! Lots of lovely art to spy on,

Just LOVE the colours in your Dylusions journal, even a reddy pink methinks - LOL. It is so dreamy, makes you want to drift away on the Summer breeze with the scents of flowers wafting by. Oops got a bit carried away there - LOL. Thanks for visiting me already today BJ#50

Wahoo, fabulous work there Neil - I adore the very last page you showed.
OK, so the Radley style buttons you spotted on my desk. I bought them in a haberdashery/knitting shop in Salisbury. But here are the little cuties online:

And I paid 55p each for mine :(

Super pages, Neil, and I love the idea of your pouch with pens and notebook in. Take care Zo xx 77
Oh a handy quote book is a fabulous idea, we might just do that. We sprayed Dylusions in the kitchen, they went everywhere. Oops.
Thanks for visiting the bears blogs already today.
Beautiful pages and such a great idea with the quote books :-D I quite fancy having a go at journalling so hopefully will learn lots from you.
Happy WOYWW. :-)

Love your work as always, and I love the idea of the quote books- that one I have to make use of. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #81
Love your work Neil and I had to smile because I'm always hopping between my studio and the dining room table too! It's a pain though when you need something and it's in the other place...lol! Thanks for your visit and Happy Woyww Liz@57
DH got a pen that you could hang on your keyring at some apple conference or another. I loved having it handy...but then it ran out of ink. Typical - it was actually useful! That and the little Java toothpaste tube squeezer were my fave conference goodies LOL! Your solution is altogether more arty and pretty.
Always lovely to see your work.
Happy WOYWW!

Enjoyed my snoop around, now for a cuppa tea, then I'm off to snoop some more. :) Happy WOYWW! Nan G #5
Love the colors and a Dyan journal and stencils are on my wish list. I like the idea of adding quotes and I may just add all those bits of songs and poetry from childhood! Currently trying to learn painting with paper.
