Well its that time of the week again, and I very almost didn't blog as I haven't done any paper crafting at all. What I have been doing instead is working, working towards my career as an IT teacher, so my desk this week is just that, my desk, but not the one you have seen before I don't think, you see, I have an additional desk that I use for demos, where I show students tech, what the stuff is and how it works, they will typically get an areal view from an overhead camera out of shot bringing in the camera for close ups.
The view behind the image is unfinished decorating from a couple of years ago for the hall and stairs I never got round to finishing.
The desk is set up for this mornings class, we are about to go over networking hence the cables and things laid out to hand. This stuff will get swapped out for the evenings class as we going over hardware with them. So yes, two classes, one at 09:30 -12:30 and then 18:00 until 21:00 it is keeping me busy again and i feel its what I need right now.
But, while it has not been used for that I have put it to good use, we have had a dremel for many years, what I didn't own was the long flexible shaft for the extra control, nor did I have the stand the dremel is suspended from.
The reason I made the purchase is of course who else could I entrust in the correcting of the mistake on Sharon's urn?
So that cup you see in the image is what I have been practicing on, it dawned on me as I was lay in bed (mithering) as you do, and had a eureka moment, that lettering in white would be ideal to practice on.
The cup was destined for the bin as the one side of the handle had came away.
So I am learning to engrave (still not quite happy with it but I have a lot of time to perfect it) I can't actually see that well extremely close up.
You would think being long sighted and short sighted would cancel each other out?
I digress...
So I feel another purchase is on the cards, a hands free magnifier for that super intricate stuff
The metallic sharpies I have had for years but I feel the tip is too fat, (the artist that made the mistake is sending one over and I have had a partial refund and apology) I have come to the conclusion that the ink they used was the gold and not the bronze.
At the very bottom of the garden will go a rather large workshop/summerhouse/shed with a large pathed area in front of it and a nice water feature.
or at least that is the plan.
Anyway that is it from me, its late and I need to get to bed (yes I am typing this the night before) don't we all?
So thats my desk, do head over to our Julia's Stamping ground and share yours for Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday
So that just leaves the and finally..
