woyww #166--art charms for Altered Arts

You know how some people can't show you their desks, because
they're working on a gift, or some super-secret design team project?

Well, nothing that intriguing here.  I can't show you my desk, simply
because the camera is missing in action.

***sigh***

Anyway, I CAN show you this already-photographed charm, which
I'm also sharing for Altered Arts magazine--it's a tiny quilted
inchie, using an Omni Gel transfer, with glass beads and a bit of lace:

It really IS just an inch square--I'll share another charm soon.

Happy What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, everyone, and thank you
as always to Julia for hosting this weekly event!

Some challenges?  Yes, please:
Frilly and Funkie--get crafty with canvas
Word Art Wednesday--as always, use an encouraging word, sentiment, or scripture
Oldie but a Goodie challenge--Friends, and (always) use at least 6 mos old:
the beads, trim, image, and thread

    1. Bet it isn't worse than mine. One of the cats seems to have taken to desk surfing. As a result, it looks like a tornado has gone through my craft area.

      Wonder if I could manage to make something that tiny.
