Good Morning Fellow Deskers and Friends in Blogland,
It's Wednesday, so it's time to link up over at Julia's Stamping Ground and show the world What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. Here's mine ...
You can see I've been working on some teeny weeny miniatures, and I've included my glass dip pen as several people asked about it on my last WOYWW post. Here's a closer look ...
Isn't it beautiful? I don't have great handwriting, but I will enjoy using this to write quotes in my notebooks and journals, and it will be good for drawing as well. It produces a fairly fine line with no variation in the thickness, so you can't use it in the same way as a flexible metal nib, but it writes smoothly and I wrote all this with just one dip in the ink (using Ph Martin's India ink). You can get them in lots of different colours and designs, I've seen them priced from around £4 upwards, so I am going to collect a few and I'll need a way to store them - may a kind of test tube stand would work??
Here's a closer look at the miniatures ...
You can see by the metric measurements on my cutting board just how tiny they are. This is a kit I got from Ali Express - eventually it will be a revolving music box with a little illluminated scene under a clear dome. I'll post a pic of the finished article next week :o)
Thanks for visiting today - thanks to lovely Zsuzsa who I'm hoping will link up for me. I'll catch up with everyone during the course of the next few days. Have a lovely crafty week!

Love the miniatures but that glass pen. Ooh, it is gorgeous. Something I have often thought I wanted but never got. Great idea to get several and store in a test tube. I have (sadly bits are broken) a test tube thingy that has several that are in a sort of plastic chain so they can be pushed and pulled into different shapes. It is for flowers really. Just thought something like that might be easy if you could find one at a florists.

I agree with Zsuzsa where your handwriting is concerned. Lovely. And the dip pen is pretty. Looks intriguing.
Sorry to be so late. My eyes weren't cooperating yesterday.
