WOYWW 627: ATCs

 

It's time to join Julia, Queen of Deskers, on her blog at Stamping Ground.  Before we get to my desk, here are the only two ATCs I made this year for WOYWW12.

I'm not terribly original, so once I get a design, I stick with it.  Both ATCs used a background of W words from a German to English dictionary.  Both incorporated a clock with hands pointing to 12.

I used a stencil to create the letters that I sewed to the page.  The letters were created on a strip cut from the dictionary page.  Julia's paper doll stood on the words Desker Queen,

while my P.I.F. Helen (H)'s paper dolls were standing on words on the page.

These are the backs that Bleubeard "helped" me create.  Both ATCs have been received.

Speaking of having received an ATC, this is the one I received.

I've gotten in the habit of showing the postage stamp, too.  I took at least a dozen photos and this was the best I could get.  It's a beautiful stamp and I know it will show up in my art one of these days.

Inside is this gorgeous ATC 

 

and stunning postcard sent by Sarah Brennan.

 

How absolutely amazing that Sarah can visit these gardens whenever she wishes.  But WAIT!!!

I know many of you dropped by to see the rocking horse of the week.  This was sent to me years ago by my dear friend Annette,

who some of you might remember as Voodoo Vixen.  It's been in my craft room forever in a bag, and, for some unknown reason, I've never shown it before.

Please join me at Julia's and share your own desk, no matter how clean or messy it might be.  I suspect everyone knows by now to please leave your number if you are coming from Julia's. BTW, if you are visiting from a social media site (i.e. Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, etc.) other than a blog, I will not be able to leave you a comment, even though I will visit.
