What's on my workdesk today ..........

Ive got this book WRECK THIS JOURNAL
 You do what the instructions say inside
It frees you up artistically.
Takes you out of your comfort zone.
 I'm giving mine a tartan theme, but you don't need a theme just go along with what the pages say.

Have a look at what Cornwall based Textile Artist Carolyn Saxby is doing with hers, its fabulous
Then come back and have a look at what other people are upto this week
over on Julia's blog - What's on your workdesk Wednesday

  2. What a fun activity....it's good for us all to move outside our comfort zone from time to time. That's how we grow in our skills. :-)

  11. Your creative space is so pleasant to look at (and be in I'm sure). I enjoyed the long view look so I could see your space. Wreck this journal sounds fun, after all it gives you permission! Judy #69

  12. What a lovely craft room you have! Beautiful! Must be a joy to work in. I love the glass table.
    I had never heard of the book 'Wreck this book' and had to google it. I can't imagin any wrecking going on in that beautiful craft room of yours....
    Have a good week,

  15. I have done a couple of SMASH journals, and they are such fun and freeing as well. A year ago I couldn't seem to make a mark on the page, and now, well, yippee. Happy WOYWW. Appreciatively, Pat #71

  20. Is that last photo of your craft room? It is gorgeous!
    Not sure I would make a good job of that journal but you seem to be doing fine - must go and follow the link and see another perspective.
    Keep going in yours - tartan is fab!

  22. As someone who (was born in England but in love with Scotland) swear she has a tartan heart - I love your theme :) Have had to come back this morning as you set me off on a chain of blog hopping last night when I clicked your Carolyn Saxby link. Remembered this morning to come back and comment on YOURS! I keep looking at those wreck Your Journals - I love what you are doing with yours.
