WOYWW 111

Whats on my workdesk?  Well quite a bit at the moment asI have been working hard making this little treasure chest to take away with us on Friday.  Going to bury it in the sand while the youngest Gson isn't looking and then let him 'discover' it.
Have had lots of fun searching through boxes and drawers for bits to put in it and found some old sixpences (remember those) some French Francs in a corner of a drawer that I know would come in handy sometime and some toy dollars that Neet gave me a while ago.  Lots of bits of gold findings, distressed of course, and a broken pearl earing that fell into the chest from Blackbeard's ear when he wasn't looking.
Will have to get it finished this afternoon as I'm off to take Sorrel to the groomers now - she is getting bored as I type and has pulled her bed into the middle of the living room, now hiding underneath it.
Will check out the other WOYWW when I get back, sure to see some fab stuff on there.


Here's the workspace with a variety of shells, grungeboard skull and cross bones, money and the half finished chest - complete with pearl in mussel shell.


and here's a closer look at the inside of the chest - almost finished now.
