What's on You Workdesk Wednesday 26th October 2011

I have missed a couple of weeks of WOYWW but know I can spend some time blog hopping, so am joining in again this week.  Nothing ultra-exciting on my work desk at the moment... I am a bit stuck.... when I was at the heirloom sale the other day and picked up the typewriter I also found a couple of old 78's (one of them is an old Nat King Cole record) and bought them immediately... they are the perfect size for covers for a mini book!!

I managed to cut a section off of each for binding the edge with my big Zutter Cutter.... but when I practiced with the BIA on the offcuts it just shattered into lots of little pieces!!   Eeeek... now I am trying to figure out how I will bind the pages and covers together without making holes in the records.  I have tried the obvious things like heating them and covering the edges with tape but these are pretty old and thick 78's... and they are very brittle.  I perhaps should have bought the thinner 33 LP's they had there instead!!

 Also on the edge of my desk is a dolly...

 I had to buy a new from the supermarket (i know, it is a crime but needs must and the local charity/goodwill didn't have even one old dolly.... not one and an old stuffed toy just wasn't going to give me the effect I am looking for)!! This one is going to be beheaded... and steampunked... and I am not sure if she is going to become a part of the typewriter yet... it depends how she turns out....
Don't forget to check out the linky list at Julia's for all the desks to nose about in this week!!
