Well ... you have all heard of Tracey Emin and her unmade bed! I am Linda Elbourne and this is my untidy desk!
We are 9 minutes away from Wednesday (Well I am!) and I am feeling very brave this week ... Everything ... and I mean everything has been left exactly where it was for the world to see.
So WOYWWers ... feast your eyes on this lot. I know there is no hiding place from all your prying eyes so I am even going to include some places of interest ... stuff gone horribly wrong!
Firstly I have made a new friend ... no seriously I made her ... in a moment of insanity ... burning my fingers and everything ... I created this ... erm ... thing from a truly beautiful stamp. I have no idea what possessed me to think it was going to be good ... but as I said this week you are getting warts and all. Her first name is Destiny and her surname is Dabin :0) I must admit she is very good at ballet ... but that is where her strengths start and sadly finish!
And for my next trick ... I took a truly beautiful flower stamp ... and decided to paint the Grungepaper a disgusting yellow ... made it up and decided it was disgusting so I edged it with red ... at this point it was even more disgusting than ever. Not one to give up easily ... I threw a pot of copper embossing powder at it ... it did n't smell too good under the heat gun I can tell you and it looks ... well minging!
So there you have it ... my desk and my out takes ... so c'mon ... be a sport and show us yours! We all meet up over at Julia's place every Wednesday ... I will see you there!

Oh no, not out-takes... I think Destiny Dabin looks very uncomfortable, myself, poor girl! And no way can you call that desk untidy, lady!!
That rose doesn't look bad in the picture lol xx
I kinda of don't think it looks that messy LOL. More creative, shall we say :)
Wish I could wrap my legs round my neck like Destiny :-)

interesting experiments
I will expect you to be adopting this pose on Saturday
I rather like Destiny... well admire rather than like, wish I could get into a position like that!
It doesn't look too messy to me. Poor Destiny - she does look uncomfortable!

Destiny Dabin looks fab, your flower turned out nice too and your desk is fun to nose around! Very enjoyable!

Wish I could get into the position that Destiny has achieved! I spy distress inks - a crafter after my own heart! Making warts are part of the fun, you should see mine this week! ikki x
Are you going to do anything with the rose Linda - looks OK to me!
Your desk looks very productive too...x
Is she constipated? *g* I love your out takes and honestly, I loves Destiny Dabin :D You should give her 2 silver boobies too. Maybe some tassles. :D
Looking forward to seeing you saturday!
Ha ha ha at Carmen - yes she does need boobies with tassles, especailly as she can do mad things with her legs!
Your desk is fine hun xx

Out takes... humph! Us mere mortal types would be more than happy to create things that look like your rejects!! LOL at Destiny... the girl certainly has some interesting moves and yep, she needs brad boobies and tassles and maybe a pole....
Love it..am a bit jealous that your out takes are artier than my intakes!
Linda you always manage to make me laugh, and I applaud your bravery in revealing your less than brilliant efforts - I HIDE mine!!
The rose is pretty! Destiny is interesting.... are you going to demo that pose at Ally Pally?

Your desk looks quite tidy really and Destiny looks fine wish I could still sit as she is doing.
Wish I had your sense of humour you always make me laugh and Brenda's comment made me laugh too.

I actually like the looks of Destiny and think she'll become a new fav on your desk. Your rose doesn't look so bad on web photo and I'm confident you're going to find the perfect spot to use it somewhere and be happy for your experiment.
Hi Linda, I think all of our desks get a little messy. It is because we just have so much craft stuff! :)
Love your blog. :)
LOL - what a supple lady destiny looks - she's got more moves in her that i have at the mo LOL...
Thanks for sharing all your minging bits - who'd have thought that LE did minging???
Paula x x x
Firstly I have to say that your desk could not be described as tidy or untidy ....its just ....normal.
You say 'warts and all ....where are the warts lol....Destiny might look better with a hat or hair??? ...do you have a project in mind for her or is she destined to sit on you desk as a companion?
The rose ?? ...well it actually looks sort of grungy and cool.
I have to say that seeing your outtakes gives me hope
that flower might have been disgusting before but it's fantastic now!!
She's got a nerve....showing off like that in that pose. LOL. As for your desk Linda....you think THAT is untidy? No siree...I can't see mine! As for the rose...how about covering it in glue and sprinkling with black glitter - maybe use for a Halloween project! Oh yes, I'm full of ideas! See you on Saturday. TFS. ~Glen~
She looks a bit too supple to be my friend!!! look how high she can kick her legs!!!!! and that rose looks quite nice from this side of the 'puter!!!
I'd share my warts and all but most of my mis-haps end up in the bin, usually the more i faff to make um better the worse thay become, so i just stopped trying lol *air kisses sweetie darling*
I do have to say that you make me laugh girl, love your crazy, sane posts. LOL
Love your warts there better than mine.

I to like Destiny Linda and your desk looks like an artists desk should look x
I think your rose looks 'interesting'! maybe the photo has flattered it, but it looks great to me!
Nice to see some "nearly but not quite" - I'm guessing we all have plenty of those! Lots of lovely crafting to catch up on with your posts over the last few days too - fab stuff!
Whole lotta grunging going there Linda! Like your new flexible friend! I usually tidy up after revealing all, as I feel so ashamed after seeing all those tidy desks!! Lol! xx
LOL Your post is so funny!
You have lots of your desk, I like the doll idea and the rose is pretty!
Hi Linda

At least you have room on your desk for Destiny to sit. Bet she'd give Darcey Bussell a run for her money striking a pose like that! Rose looks great to me xx
oooh another gorgeous flower i see :) great work space x
