What's on your Workdesk Wednesday: Work in Progress

A couple of WOYWWs ago, I showed my big canvas that I had started work on. It's still a work in progress.
Here are some ladies that I will collage on to the canvas. First I applied wall putty on book pages, then I pencilled in a design, and used watercolor to paint them. Below I am auditioning where I want to put these ladies on my Deuteronomy 6 canvas. It's a long time in the making, I know, but I've been discerning what to put in it and HOW!
And here is part of my work space. The canvas doesn't fit on my small, crowded table, so it is propped up on the floor. Most of the time, the cabinet is closed to hide the clutter. Inside is a hodge podge of unpainted paper, cut up fabric on paper, stamps, and on the cabinet doors, I hung some collages of bible verses.
I don't know why I can never keep my desk clean! If you'd like to take a sneak peak at what other people have on their work desk, head over to Julia. I guarantee you'll want to join in on the fun!
