| Dining room table: turning chaos into an organized binder |
 |
| Full Swap-bot junk journal |
When my Swab-bot Junk Journal became too full, I started organizing
a binder but never finished. After I
rated each swap I was piling them on my desk then stashed them in a
drawer. I decided that once school got
out I was going to get them organized and STAY ORGANIZED!

You can view the binder HERE. I plan to add photo as series swap pages
become full.

Swapping

| ATC: Black & White with touch of PURPLE |
I joined another series swap, Black & White with a Touch of _________. This is a challenge for me as I have not
practiced creating Zentangles which would lend itself well for this swap. Because I like to create ATC’s with texture
and depth, I experimented using drywall tape and pastes. For the one on the right I used model paste. After it dried I sprayed it with Dylusions black ink and Perfect Pearls in pewter. I used Silks acrylic glaze in boysenberry for the touch of purple. This is the one my partner got. For the one on the left I used Ferro Special
Effect Paste. Looking at it now, I wish
I had used a stencil with a larger design.
I opted to not send my partner this one as it still needs something, just
not sure what. Any suggestions?

Such a lot to see on your desk today and all of it beautiful! That album is fantastic, a real work of art. That black and purple is rather funky too, I like it :-)

Looks like your organising is going well. Dry wall tape and pastes are two of my favourite things and l loved what you've done with them here.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week

I must start now to make a folder for next years ATCs and the many years to come, how do you craft in a dark room?
ReplyDeleteBridget #35
Hi Diane, I have my ATC swaps in plastic pockets but this is much nicer, must think about making something similar in future.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by at mine and happy crafting, Angela x #43
I love seeing what you are up to. Great work on the organizing. I am doing that with my recipes.

Your folder looks great! I'm all sorted out for ATCs. They in any multiple folders! But I need to organise some other sort for ATCs and the cards that came with them. And WOYWW is important enough to be organised separately :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by earlier,

Love your folder I used to collect ATC's and stopped many years ago but this lot from the desks I too will probably make a little folder for them.
ReplyDeleteLove the desk is looks busy and productive.

Looks like you are going to be one busy lady, Diane! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and for your comments. Glad you like the sunrise!! it was worth getting up for, just to be down on the beach almost on my own at that time of day was great. Actually, crocheting the blankets together isn't too hard - unless the squares are not quite!!!
Take care.

I stopped by to see if your latest SOC entry was up, and imagine my surprise to see you were playing in WOYWW. Color me shameful. Of course, I'm not playing this week and I didn't play last week. I have SO many things on my plate, I simply must take time to accomplish them. You know, like mow the yard, edge, trim, cut unwanted growth in the garden, clean house, dust, mop, do laundry, etc, things I haven't done because I spend all my time on the computer.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of projects, it looks like YOU have lots going on, too. Very impressive art. An that reminds me, I must get my 5th year WOYWW anniversary ATCs in a binder. Thanks for the gentle reminder.
I was glad you mentioned about the white flowers. I try to get everything, including my fabric, in white. Then I can color it, spritz it, paint it, whatever. I also try to buy white lace, buttons, and ribbon so I can match whatever color I'm using at the time. Needless to say, I'm rather color driven (grin). Thanks for your kind comment on my SOC post this week, too.
Nice folder. I have good intentions to do this too... hmm, still not got round to it!
ReplyDeleteHad a bit of spare time and thought I'd check out a few more desks :)
