Right i don't want to alarm anyone but have you seen what day it is... Surely it can't be time to rummage in other peoples rooms already!!!
My desk hasn't changed too much from last week, a few things have been created between then and now.
Some of which can be seen in the pic, {the rest in the posts below this one}
Including my entry for this weeks Compendium of Curiosities challenge
'Grungepaper flowers' pg 65
I didn't want to just stick my grunge flowers onto a card so decided to give it a bit of life.
Plus i know Linda now expects nothing less than fabulous so i didn't want to disappoint lol!
......
Lots To Do challenge has a 'Butterflies &/or Insects' theme so i ran with that and this ickle spirit art doll was created...
She is Strength * She is Brightness
She is a reminder to always stay strong, even when things seem bleak
& to see a bright side to life even in the darkest of times.
She has been created using not only the grungepaper flower head with friendly plastic face, but a peg for a body, and some metal & card for her butterfly wings, oh and a lot of patients lol
I plan to attach some form of hanging fixture so she can sit on wall somewhere.
.....
Right i must crack on, i have a ton of swaps i need to make a start on.. I hope to get round a few more desks this week, if i don't make it to you it's nothing personal honest, i just suffer with bad wrists so spending a long time gripping the mouse can be a real pain.. literally, but i'll do my best.
Have a creative day♥ HUGZ ♥

You have no idea how much you just scared me! I forgot you're 5 hours ahead of me and thought it was 7pm on Wednesday, not Tuesday! I thought I'd lost a whole day and I wanted it back.
I love your flowery face-y butterfly. Very cool. And very inspirational. Enjoy your Wednesday.
All I can say is "STUNNING" !
Your spirit doll is amazing! I love her job description too!

Great desk, lots of lovely crafty stuff to snoop round. Love your doll, Linda won't be disappointed.
Adore the face on that doll. and slipping back a post that card with the elephants is seriously adorable. I must seek out and acquire that. I may only use it once but it will be perfect for something som day. :)

Grunge paper is quite an interesting medium to work with, don't you think? I just began yesterday, though I have had some in my possession for yonks.
Keep on making the 'grungey' flowers.

Your desk is quite filled with projects, I see. I also read how your servers are now filling with things that don't belong. The life of a crafter with a new storage piece (grin). Happy WOYWW and love the grunge flower.

Oh Minxy,
You have truly done something special here. I love how you created such a special persona for this little flower creation. Very inspiring indeed!
From you, I KNOW to expect something fabulous, and holy Toledo, girl, you've even and exceeded that!!! This is MAGNIFICENT! Wow, Minxy, what a brilliant, beautiful work of art. Your spirit doll is truly exceptional, from her sweet, serene face to her rockin' metal wings to her perfect grungepaper flower hair.
She will no doubt live up to her intention, and will brighten many a day.
Bravo!!!
Absolutely brilliant hun! Love the metal wings! xx
Wow Minxy, I love this, what a fabulous creation.
Sue xx
How very glitzy, super stuff and your desk is a treasure trove !!
Gorgeous work, great storage, you like me have your pc with your workdesk, check my blog if you get a chance,fab workspace, Happy WOYWW, Thank you for showing us your workspace.
Loved seeing your grunge (gorgeous) flower creation. I was so late with mine that it is what is on my workspace this week as a WIP! I haven't made it to CC to comment yet so it was treat ot see yours!
Oh WOW absolutly stunning
Maggie
Your Strength and Brightness is lovely and I had such a laugh at the webcam cosy! Oh so funny! Love it!
Hugs,
Cardarian
I love your desk..... and your grunge flower is AWESOME... Thanks for sharing.. Michelle
Desk is looking very tidy and your doll is amazing - good luck with the challenge too. Yes my distress ink handles are homemade - got 7 knobs for 35p and 3 bits of wood for 70p so I managed to make up 21 handles for a fraction of the cost of the proper ones (very pleased with myself!).
Very trendy stuff in evidence here!
Chrissie
Totally fabby, she is a terrific Spirit Doll and such a great idea. x
Stunning! Sorry I'm a bit late this week as blogger has been playing up! Pam
Hi there, wow your butterfly is so beautiful, great mask. Thanks for sharing hugs Heidi xx
Hi Minxy, well what can I say thats not already said, wonderful, creative and stunning, there, and I am sure there is a lot more to come. Big hugs JO.xxx
Great butterfly! and so clever to combine challenges.
What a beautiful mask :) hugs Nikki

ooooh, your desk looks FUN! I'd like to rummage through all those intriguing drawers!
totally missed this Minxy... its awesome. love the flower but i love that youve added it on to something and made it a larger piece.
This is a wonderfully unique piece!Bravo!
What a gorgeous butterfly, I would have never thought of using a human face for the head.
Cor, waht a fab piece you've made for the challenge. Love your labelled up photo - the slowly filling with stuff that shouldn't be there made me smile, but the web cam cosy nearly had me falling off the chair, no idea why, it just struck me as a hilarious thing!!
Sorry I'm late snooping babe, having trouble with blogger this week.
Awesome art babe, love the flower :)
*hugs* Heather x
'A lot of patients', lol - what did you do with them???! I absolutely LOVE your doll-faced flower, such a fabulous piece!
