happy Wednesday
So you want to see my desk do you? really, ok then ....here it is
This was taken Tuesday evening about 7.30 I am sorting through a pile of stamps .... postage, not rubber for a change. being a bit OCD I am organising them into types... ordinary uk, Christmas, special uk and foreign, well it makes sense to me.
I am about to start a big new project (more next week, if I get it started) and am just looking for stuff to put on it, something to make me S M I L E........... Mmm intriguing.
On the left is my Compendium of Curiosity book..... by you know who, I brought this a while ago but haven 't really had the time to look through it, I am going to use it for this new project.
Anyway do you want to see what I have been up to last week..... having fun with my glue gun..... how ?..... you ask .... this is how
See it here
made an interesting mask for DIs and sprayed with mica mist
Then I accidentally made these .... you know .... a what if moment ... I coloured them with alcohol inks. funkey huh!
like my desk? or not.... visit Julia here who has lots more desks on her books or rather post. Do visit ... join in if you can its very addictive but great fun.
Please don't just pass through without a comment .... just say hi and I will visit you back
coz that's the whole point isn't it?

It isn't even tomorrow here yet, but here I am. I never knew you could get such fun things from dribble a glue gun into water. We'll stay tuned to see what you do with the postage stamps.
ReplyDeleteWow, love that glue!! Can't wait to see what comes next... and with the stamps. have a great week, Janet. Helen 23
ReplyDeletei never cease to be amazed at what crafty folk like yourself discover. I have never thought about the glue in water idea. What a fab mask it makes.

What an interesting idea with the dribbled glue Janet. I like the pattern it that's left behind on the paper after its been sprayed. Happy woyww jill #53
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy but it looks like lots of fun too ;D
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued to see what's to come.
Your dribble glue is so effective and as you've shown so versatile.
Enjoy WOYWW

How creative can you get with a glue gun, LOL....fabulous work hun, and look forward to what you have up your sleeve, Hugs, Avril#52
ReplyDeleteLike your desk? I Love it! The tags are just fab Janet, but they are dwarfed somewhat by the genius of the glue and the water! tooooo clever and so effective. Loving the earrings.
ReplyDeleteWow! So love the dribbly glue. Looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteOkay... I'm extremely intrigued and will have to keep my eye on you. LOL Glue gun glue dribbled into water? Hmmm Like I need something else to try but I love what you did with your creation. Creative Blessings! Kelly #107
ReplyDeleteHi Janet,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me earlier.
You have quite the imagination when it comes to glue! I like those earrings!!! I will have to try to glue gun squirted into water. I like the masking.
Hugs,
Kay
Thanks for visiting - no, I didn't design the picture as well. It's a wooden backed rubber stamp by Woeds like honey. I love it, and use it a lot. Just so simply styled so the message comes through easily.

Hi Janet, thank so much for calling by. Clever stuff with the glue there :)
ReplyDeleteDoesn't seem five minutes since the crop last October does it!
Hugs, Di xx
Interesting mask idea. Well done and beautiful painting backround.
ReplyDeleteYou can made anything You want, that's wonderful. Great paintings :-)

Hello, I am sending this to everyone. Im sorry I am not going to be able to get to all the desk and I have now lost my sheet of paper that I was writing them down on. I don't think my cat is going to make it through the night to even see the vet. She is old just like my dog so I guess they are going to get sick at the same time or so. I just going to copy and paste and sorry to every one that I didn't get to read.. I just cant do it right now. Thank you Roberta 40 and bright blessings to all.
ReplyDeleteWow, think I'd better get my glue gun out! Love how you've coloured it with ink. Hugs. Pam#36
ReplyDeleteAfraid I don't 'get on' with my glue gun. It takes on a life of its own and I get covered in the stuff. Great results though and that mirror is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting

Looks like a LOT of fun can be had with a hot glue gun. I love the earrings, I'll have to give that a go myself, I think!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I've managed to raise my head above the box mountain to peer at the computer long enough to do a bit of blog hopping - not much is being unpacked as it's only a 6 month sojourn in this property till we find something more permanent!
wow to those earrings - how awesome!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

your glue fun looks great fun, I've played with glue before....until my mum took it away! (It was along time ago.. I never do=id finish it, I was going to spray all the glue squiggles with gold but never did. So, a trillion years later I could have another go! Thanks for reminding me!
ReplyDelete((Lyn)) happy WOYWW

Hi Jan, don't you just love those 'what if' moments- yours is fantastic. Loving what you've done, especially the ear-rings. That could make some really funky embellishments. Have to try this one. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #56 xx
ReplyDeleteWow you have been busy and it definitely looks like you have been having fun too......I love all your hot glue creations and will have to give this a go. I love it used as a mask too and those gelli print tags look fabulous also. Have a great week! Danie #62

ReplyDeleteI can't believe these beauties were made dripping hot glue in water. This is fabulous, and SO ingenious. I really must try this.

Thought I was visiting the desk of a fellow philatelist for a minute!! Don't know if I can bear to come back and see what you did with those stamps but now I know what to do with my glue gun!!!

Hi Ms. Janet.. TY for visiting and leaving such a kind comment. I couldn't agree more with you about what a wonderful and caring group this is. Truly remarkable!!! So I love all your crafty little projects. I've had some thoughts and ideas on using aluminum cans, I'm just terrified I'll slice off a finger. I love recycling, reusing, and repurposing materials into art. I also LOVE what you did with the glue gun!!! I'm now following you!! (((HUGS)))

That glue gun fun has turned out very nicely! You could link up your Christmas cards in S J Crafts 6 on the 6th series!
ReplyDeleteJust playing a bit of catch up! I have sadly neglected my blogging buddies lately as I have been living busy, busy, crazy life and I'm paying for it ...now I'm shattered!
ReplyDeleteFab post with great creative ideas for using a "Hot Snot" gun.... that's what I call my glue gun as, yes! YUK, it looks like that when it's active. Such wonderful results from you for such YUK!
Wonderful tags too!
Love Jo x
