What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?

Yea!  Wednesday is here!  I love to visit other desks around the world and the only place to do that is at artist Julia Dunnit's beautiful blog Stamping Ground.  Every Wednesday she hosts an international party full of amazing artists sharing their work space.  You can go and take a look or even join in.

I have been working away from my desk.  Here is my workspace right now.

This is the tray of supplies that I use to make my trees.  I converted the box from an Ikea wall clock, the shape was just right.  I can sit with it on my lap and make a tree while watching TV.  I love the rich colors.

I was told by a friend trying to help that my photos are a little boring.  She suggested I use props to spice things up.  So I thought I would use my husband's lion, but it didn't photograph well for me.  It came out a bit blurry each time.  I really do prefer the light box.

I thought this tree of photos would make a good prop.  I did not realize until editing that the photo of my husband and I just behind the trees looks not quite right.  It was taken years ago and we were in a photo booth and took gag photos, when you see them all together this one is funny.  But alone...... Ok, won't be using this photo. 

See how much nicer the lighting in the light box is.  I thought a globe would be a smart prop.  But you can't really see the earrings well.  Yikes, this prop thing is a little harder than I expected.  I am going to have Isabel and Sebastian gather a few props so we can get some practice.  Isabel has a good eye for photos.

Does my hand count as a prop?  Using props effectively is definitely a work in progress.

Thank you for stopping by.

I hope today is better than the best Wednesday you could imagine.
