WOYWW#584: Resined dominoes and other things

Is it hot enough where you are? I couldn't even sleep last night it was so hot - I got up in the middle of the night to watch a film about Alaska and imagined running through the snow! It definitely helped and it was a couple of degrees cooler downstairs as well. I'm just not a hot weather person. However, I'm not here to moan about the weather, but to show you my desk for WOYWW. Here it is a few days ago while I was waiting for my resined dominoes to cure.


I'd made these colourful dominoes years ago and frankly I don't remember how - they may be gelli prints, but I'm not sure. I found them at the bottom of my cupboards while looking for something else. I'd never posted them because they looked a bit naff but the resin gave them a new lease of life and now they're masquerading as fridge magnets. 



I've also cobbled up one of my scrap pieces using bits and pieces on my desk. The rule is to use whatever is within arm's reach without having to get up looking for stuff. It only took 5 minutes! One of those rare projects that just fall together.


And now onto some other photos. I realise that my regular repertois is quite limited and goes something like this: desk, artwork, cat, garden, sunsets in any possible combination. So here are the last three items on the list - with three for one on the sunsets! 

First off, here's Oreo sitting on the fence a few days ago when it was still reasonably cool early in the morning - notice those giant claws on the left side of the photo - the camera angle is deceptive - they're not that huge! 


Second, our half barrels newly planted in the front garden. We are a bit late in the season but we still have at least two months to admire them and the holly in the middle is supposedly winter hardy. There will be new bedding plants around it next year and we'll be ready to go sooner. 


And last but not least, the three-in-one sunset shots - they were taken just minutes apart but the sky changed dramatically in that time. 





So there it is for today! Posting three weeks in a row - must be a new record for me this year! 
Stay cool and thanks for your visit ! xx
