WOYWW #275 - Taming of the Tags and Fungus Ink!

Hi everyone,

It's What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday, which means it's time to show the world what's happening in my crafty space today and then pop over to Julia's Stamping Ground to link up and see what everyone else has been up to this week - come and join us, everyone's welcome!

Here's mine on this sunny autumnal morning ...


In the centre you can see how my tag books are coming along since last week - they now have covers and prettified inside pages ...


... with spaces for me to write in details of how they were made, what I used, what/who inspired them, and so on. I have filled three more like this - blimey!!

You may be wondering about the plastic tub full of a strange black liquid just in front of the tag books in the first photo ... it's not a weird diet snack, it's Fungus Ink! We found some Shaggy Ink Cap mushrooms at the weekend, and, after eating the small ones for lunch, I decided to experiment with the older one - apparently the liquid it produces can be used as drawing ink, so I plan to use it on this little sketch of an elf to make my Fairy Tale tag for Tag Tuesday ...


There are about twenty other things I plan to squeeze into today, so I'd best get cracking - see you at Julia's!

Thanks for coming, see you again soon :o)

Now then, drawing a fairy with that fungus ink really appeals to me! You never know, it might be completely magical and the fairy might come to life :-) I love it!
Hugs, LLJ 30 xx

Hi Annie, Just noticed your post on Google+ Is it Wednesday already??? I love your tag books. Journalling about your inspirations and techniques it a great idea. Hope the ink works as your sketch is fab! Have a great WOYWW - might try and find time to join in next week. Busy making samples for my class on Friday. Hugs Helen x

Hello Annie. You are one busy lady this week. Great book - lots to put in it and write about. Well done. Fungus ink? Goodness - well, that is certainly different - trust we will all get to see the result...
