Here's my desk today.
I'm starting a new collage.
I'm experimenting with
using the
BACK
of a canvas frame.
I covered the frame
with collage papers.
A couple of days ago,
a segment producer from a local TV show,
Unang Hirit,
called to ask me to
make Christmas decor
out of
recycled materials.
Here's what I came up with:
a Nativity Set
out of a toilet paper roll,
a yakult bottle, a CD, scrap cloth and a used chopstick.
Tree decor
made of
water bottles
I cut into shapes,
and swirls
and glued glitter on.
Here's a poinsettia
I made from the top of the bottle,
which I cut into petals,
and glued glitter on.
And here's my journal for today.
The verse reads,
"We are God's co-workers,
you are God's field..."
from 1 Corinthians 3:9.
I related this to our work in
the local prison.
We "water" the inmates with
the life-giving Word of God,
but God gives the
growth.
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!

Now this is MY kind of art. I love recycling (as you know), and I found all these projects were fabulous. The Nativity set might be a bit hard for me, what with faces and all, but everything else looks really doable. Love these.
ReplyDeleteOh My gosh WHO KNEW that those items would make such fantastic Christmas decorations! I am in awe. Joey.x

Hi Patsy, love your recyled bottles, what a clever idea. I recyle most hard plastics. All the nestie containers and the like end up in my craft room waiting to be changed into something useful.
ReplyDeleteYou asked if I had two sides to my craft room desk..... Yeppers, cos it's my dining room table. I moved it upstairs as there is only me at home now and I don't fancy sitting down to dinner on my own at the table. I would much rather make a mess on it.
