Welcome to Crafting With Jack and What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday, a day when we link up to Sarah's Craftshed and have a look to see what everyone has been doing.  

I can’t say I have done a great deal this past week.  We had a visit to a local town and I got myself a nice storage unit at a charity shop and some fabric.  I am not exactly sure what I am going to do with the fabric, I had vague ideas about a fabric book.  They are sample pieces and they have a border of paper backing them, which doesn’t seem to be coming off easily.  They are a mix of cotton 25%; viscose 25%; linen 25%; and polyester 25%.   Perhaps Jan or Annie could tell me if I should soak the paper off or bin them?

You can see there is quite a bit of paper left in the upper right picture.

I bought a new craft bag on a trip to Shrewsbury and some wrapping paper that I will be spending hours cutting up!  

I have just the last colour study to do which is multicolours as in the rainbow.

I had a fabulous two weeks near my niece.  Last Saturday she was doing a book cover class, so I joined in:

Nearly finished my study of colour in the Bible.  This is White:

AI technology for the horse and rider (Jesus in Revelations 19) from Chatgpt, plus a tiny adjustment from me!   Absolutely love that picture.

Yesterday I spent the day with my niece, we did bird houses first, using Powertex, here is mine.

The right one is my niece's and the left her daughter's, my great niece.

Then we did trinket boxes, mine is the top one, the orangey one my niece's and the other my great niece's.

Finally my colour study of Gold in the Bible.  

Sorry if this post seems rushed!  It was!

Here are the latest  ICADS , there is one more to come which just might be the one at the bottom!

Working in the awning, unfortunately I had to tidy quickly as the table was needed and was too late with the camera!  In the book are my prints flattening.  I tried some leaf printing, there was only a couple I kept as they were. I painted over the others with some left over paint.  The ones most recently done disappeared into the paint, but the outline was left with the other ones.  With the following one I printed over a painted one.  I like how this one turned out.  It was the only one flat enough to photograph!

I have been studying the colour green in the Bible

I discovered that chartreuse is a green yellow colour.  Named after a liqueur made by monks from 1737.  The Pale horse of Revelations, could possibly have been this colour!

These are the two missing from last week.

The top left is a design of mine from quite a few years ago.  The words on the right really jumped out when I saw it in a magazine. 

I have used so many old bits and pieces I felt quite pleased with myself, but when I looked at the remaining stuff in the caravan, I thought it doesn't actually look like I have used anything!  Apart from my washi tape which I can see the difference.

I love this one, I managed to use up quite a bit of washi tape on this ICAD

I am continuing the study of colours in the Bible, this is the colour blue.  Lapis Lazuli is a beautiful stone and occurs in the Throne of God and in another place, the floor at His feet.  While we were at Pickering I bought a tiny toadstool shape of Lapis Lazuli, I would have a loved a big piece, but a) they didn't have any and b) I am sure the price would have been high.

In JoDitts group we are studying colour and this month we had to choose two palettes and colour in the card below.  I have never worked with colour palettes before and didn't like the experience, too limiting. 

Four more ICADS, a further 2 to come for last week.

We have moved again and the Internet signal is really bad, but I hope to catch up you all x

Still using up stuff!  I have been suffering with headaches a lot this past week so not a lot of crafting done.

I bought an A5 notebook to write out my Ezekiel study and then in JoDitts Group we started a Colour in the Bible study. So I flipped my notebook and I am doing the Colour Study on the flip side.  The picture above is my Ezekiel study, the chart shown in the middle goes in a pocket I made in the front cover.

My intro page on colour.

The colour red.

 We arrived at a new site Monday, about 6 miles from Scarborough.  I got out the car and the heat hit me! It reminded me of getting off the plane in Spain. I changed into a summer dress, opened all the caravan windows and started to wilt!  Yesterday I woke up and it seemed to be another hot day, but by 12 it had got quite cold requiring a change of clothes to something warmer.  What will the weather be today?

My ICADS:

My desk:

I saw a tutorial about borders for cards, the lady used strips to fill an area and then cut that into strips too. I decided to use up my self adhesive ribbon strips this way.  I had the idea of making them into quirky houses, but did something different with the 7th ICAD this week:

Still doing some digital writing!

AI background:

Lastly a badger/hare.  After some badger images, I wanted some hare images, I kept the description the same except for changing the word badger, however there were two badger words and this was the result:

 So cute!

I have been having great fun with my ICADs.  The rules for ICADs are simple, you have to use an index card and you have to do one a day, so last week I got carried away and did 3 extra.  Of course I forgot about the extra 3 until last night.  This week I may have a done a few extra too.  Oops!  What can I say, the ideas were flowing!  

I also did a drawing of a Japanese lady:

I hope to do a painting of her at some time.
