WHAT'S ON MY WORKDESK THIS WEEK

Do you remember when I wrapped papers, fruits, lace, calico, crochet, tissue,leaves and string in a bundle some weeks ago ?  I put them outside in the garden (tucked in my old typewriter) and left them open to the elements to see what would happen to it all.

 Well yesterday I brought it back in and opened it up and here are the results.

It was a bit of a gungy mess but after seperating it all and rinsing off the rotten fruit I was left with some interesting pieces.

 The paper maps disintegrated to much for me to use them, the fabrics picked up the colours of the leaves and fruits and the red tissue.

 Even the string has coloured from the fruit juices.

My plan once it has all dried out is to make something with it... Like this hanging that Vintage Bunty made with hers last year.VINTAGE BUNTY BLOG

Stayed tuned for more news in the coming weeks of what I do with mine.

TAGS & BUNDLES

 My inspiration for this week's TAG TUESDAY CHALLENGE  came from these seed heads in my garden

 WWW.TAGTUESDAY.BLOGSPOT.CO.UK

 Staying on the theme of nature look at this cobweb I found this morning

 

PERFECT

 

 

Another tag, this one inspired by the colours of Autumn

 Along with some friends on the 1st December we are doing an experiment where we will bury or hang in the garden a number of things wrapped in a bundle of fabric and paper, leave it for three months and see what emerges.  After unwrapping the bundles and letting them dry out we will attempt to make something with it.

This is a hanging that was made in a previous experiment.  I hope mine turns out as well.

I'm jumping the gun a bit and have started one wrap already. I wanted to use the blackcurrants that were falling from the bush in our garden.  As you can see I've added a sliced pomegranate, raspberries, some spices and flowerheads to lace and tissue paper among other things.

 I put in some old torn book pages, map pieces and some handmade paper.

 Here's my bundle wrapped in twine.  You can the raspberries seeping through already.

And here it is stashed inside my rusty old typewriter in the garden, open to the elements where it will now stay come rain or shine until the 24th January or thereabouts.

Why dont' you do one of your own.  I am hoping for some nice pink effects from this one.  Rust and blue will be what i am hoping to achieve when I do the December one.
