Apologies for the terrible pictures - taken with my iPad because my camera is broken - you can see it with the lens permanently open because the battery won't keep in the housing. Of course, I didn't think about the fact that the iPad doesn't have flash so I suppose taking a picture in the evening is really a no-no.
To the left of where I sit are boxes, including Anna Griffin supplies that I had out to make three cards that you can see in the posts below this.
To the right you can see a starter box of Pan Pastels that I won for their challenge a couple of weeks ago and a friendly plastic kit that I won from a Craft-room challenge. You can also see brushes for distressing, my favourite ATG tape gun and that wire box with the Christmas decoupage etc is still there (none used this week).
Happy WOYWW, everyone - and thanks for all the visits and comments I received last week - they are very much appreciated.
Adding daylight pictures (not sure there's much difference - might see if there's a way of changing the resolution of the photos that the iPad takes):
I quite like the almost painterly look of the photos taken with your ipad. I've never used mine for pics ...yet!!
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks well organised and neat raring to go!
Love JoZarty

great idea to use your Ipad for pics when your camera doesn't work, wouldn't have thought of that! love your distressing brushes, haven't seen those before!
ReplyDeleteDebxx
Have you tried the Pan pastels yet. I have been thinking about getting them. But, figure I should use up some of the paint I have first. Very smart to use the Ipad camera to take your photos. #25
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your camera...sad. But congrats on all your wins!!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Distress Brushes....I bet they work great!

Lovely goodies you won.... please let us know what you think of the pan pastels.
ReplyDeleteSandra @95
Your desk looks very orderly.
ReplyDeleteMust admit to not being very good taking photos with my ipad, I usually end up with blur in the corner where the case had slid across the lens!

Hi Hazel - well done on all your wins - you must be our luckiest WOYWWer this week! LOL

You are so organised Hazel. I don't know how you manage it, and still get so many lovely cards made.
ReplyDeleteKate x

So many wonderful goodies in your workspace! Hope you enjoyed the birthday outing! --Sandy Leigh
ReplyDeleteAwesome work space! I have to try those pan pastels.
ReplyDeletexxDaniella#29
Oh no not the camera, bollocks that is not fair. Nice clean desk you need to mess it up a bit and there is that tape gun, honest I will have to come across the pond and sneek off with it. LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting.
Eliza #24
I like your space. It's inviting and feels relax. and I adore all the gorgeous things you have there to work. Nice!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your camera, that stinks! Lucky you winning the Pan Pastel startwe kit, I have been trying for weeks to win one, lol How do you like them? waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your camera. I never use my Ipad for pictures because of the quality. dani137
ReplyDeleteIs that belated birthday greetings to you are your DH - whichever, hope you have a lovely birthday treat.
ReplyDeleteThe photos have an interesting quality about them - I thought at first that you had been playing with a photo programme to get that effect.
How nice to have won those Pan Pastels - I've seen them and thought they'd be lovely to try but they are quite an expensive item so it will have to wait till I'm feeling flush :)
Happy WOYWW, Elizabeth x #105
Your desk looks very organised - and what a great collection of pens!
ReplyDeleteBernice #140
I hope you enjoy the Pan Pastels. They are on my wishlist to try. The daylight makes a big difference with the ipad. Have a great week. LisaDV#124
ReplyDeleteOh lucky you Hazel, playing with Anna Griffin stash. It’s really lush isn’t it and she makes it really easy to make stunning cards with very little effort.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your day out.

Sorry about your camera. That is a bummer :(
ReplyDeleteBut love your mouse pad :)
Mary Jo #120
Congrats on your wins, the pans look like fun. Shame about the camera, I'm just about ready to toss mine, can't get a good shot no matter what I do.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how the ipad changes to colours from night to day.
Have a great week.
Von #45
I've been using the be funky app in my Ipad for pictures. I like it because you can do al the fixing after taking pictures. You can fix the contrast, sharpen the picture, etc. nice desk! Patsy
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your prizes :) Have you tried the pan pastels yet? The demos make them look really easy. Hugs Sally #148
ReplyDeleteYou look very organized! Glad you found a way to take your very important WOYWW pictures, despite your regular camera's issues. The daytime pictures do seem clearer, probably due to more available light. Hope you are having a good week. ~ Laura #118
ReplyDeleteI love your collection of markers. Your workspace looks very organised and the second lot of photos look clearer.
ReplyDeleteCarol
Hope your camera can be repaired soon, but the iPad did a wonderful job. Love how you have your markers within reach, and such lovely colours. Happy Belated WOYWW and thanks for visiting! #37
ReplyDeleteWell done with your photos under difficult circumstances, Hazel. They do look rather painterly and arty though, so no need to apologise! Nice to see someone else loves Ink Dusters - they are awesome, aren't they. Your desk looks lovely and organised,and very tidy - love the pots of markers.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment, and good wishes for our family at the moment. I'm so sorry to hear that your mum has dementia. We don't have that problem fortunately, although we suspect that is the way my dad is going. So sad.
Hope you are having a good weekend. Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #35
PS - for anyone reading this on Hazel's blog - if you hop over to mine and search for "Inkylicious Ink Dusters" you'll find the tutorial I did (with videos) on how to use them. They are awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteShoshi #35
nice work area...an inspiration to get me to clean mine now, depsite the high temperatures.
ReplyDeletei was wondering how you use the pan pastels...
What a great space, everything within reach and so well organized. Would love to see what you come up with using the pan pastels.
