What's on Your Work Desk 17th August 2011

Yep... that's all that is on my work desk this week... a couple of "lav" people which need to be painted and papered to match my friend Odelia's newly painted downstairs half bath!!  All I  have is the colour to go on and a request that I don't make them have faces.... which is good... because I don't do faces at the best of times and I can only imagine what spooky types they might end up if I tried!! LOL
Don't forget to go to Julia's and find the linky list of craftyness around the world!!

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who has always looked at these shapes and thought "lav people" LOL

    Nice idea. I think I may copy it and put them on my toilet by the kitchen. There are 3 doors in the short hall and people are always opening the laundry or office door instead of the bathroom. Thanks for sharing. Vickie

    Great idea. I love home decor that is one of a kind, and after looking around some shops with all the same stuff in am now wondering about making some of my own.

    Ah fun! Are these from the Cricut cart..actually they look like ply..oh well it doesn't matter. I like the idea very much. Am totally ignorant though - what's a half bath? Is it what we call a 'cloakroom'?

    Lol, lav people indeed! What next?? Saw your comment at Mary Anne's re the Spellbinder dies and the Bug.... the sandwich is A plate, C plate, die cutting side up, paper or cardstock and finally B plate.

    Very cool. What a great idea for a bathroom. I think they need the line between them that they use to indicate unisex bathrooms :) Look forward to seeing them decorated (and with faces they would be just creepy :D)

    I didn't join WOYWW this week. I was in the "loo." No, actually I was working in the basement and finally got the chairs out of my kitchen and MOST of the empty boxes out of the basement. It feels good. Not organized, yet, but trying to decide on a final plan.

    Those lav people are adorable. I wouldn't be able to draw a face, either. I'll leave that to Amy and Doone.

    These shapes are really interesting. But, just like you, I'm not a face-painting person. So faceless would be the best. Thanks for visiting me.
    Bye, Franka

    I'm always scared to make faces as well as I think I'm not good at it. And then I find myself doing it anyway and they always turn out crooked and very "individual". I call it "lots of character"...
    I hope to see the finished project and am pretty sure it will be something gorgeous.
