Well my desk this morning appears to have been taken over by Monkey who is busy downloading the pattern for Stanley the dog. In the foreground you can see the pattern pieces have been cut from felt in readiness. To the right is a piecce of material I was doing a practice stamping on. In the dish you can just see a blue and yellow bird I have made using shrink plastic. I drew a bird outline onto the shrink plastic. Cut out and then coloured in using water colour pencils. Punched a hole and then shrunk using my heat gun. It really does shrink down to 7 times its size. Amazing stuff. I have been making buttons with it too but they are on their way to America so can't show you those at present. 
I have been shoved off onto the side table by Monkey where I am working on a swap item, again destined for America. Here is just a sneek preview of it. Something I have not tried before
stamping directly onto material as the design. I'm quite pleased with how it is going.
Lastly Monkey wanted to show you his glasses he made.
Personally I think he should have gone to Spec Savers!!!
Hop on over to Julia's blog to see what the rest of the WOYWW crowd are doing on their desks.

Monkey is looking a bit intellectual today!
Hi Mrs A,
I agree with S - monkey is looking rather intelligent today!! I am giving the shrink plastic a go tonight as yourthe second person on WOYWW (so far) to show us what you've done with it. You're always so busy and always have some project on the go. Nice to pop over to see you, as always.

Oi, you've got stamp stash I don't know about! ;) Is that top secret or something?!

Shrink plastic is amazing - I've never tried drawing my own picture on it before though, I've only ever stamped on it. Your bird looks great!
I like stamping onto fabric, I love the subtle look you've achieved and those stamps look so pretty. (LOL at Faye's comment!)
Oh my, Monkey looks ever so intelligent now - and he's got his own laptop too - LOL.
Haa Haa - I think Monkey is trying to get his own Blog!! You need to show him who is boss in your room!! LOL! Loving your stamping. I ought to tie that in with my quilting! Soo many ideas and so little time! Thanks anyway for the peep!
I love Monkey's glasses! Never make fun of anyone little with glasses...too cute!
Very creative space and it was nice you moved for Monkey. TFS
Think of the money Monkey saved by doing it himself. WTG Monk! Looking forward to seeing your finished swap project. Thanks for sharing. Vickie #83

Hi there! I haven't popped by to say hello in awhile! Cute lil monkey. Have a great day!
Loving those glasses lol and the stamping direct on the canvas is gorgeous, im afraid im not that confident yet lol.
Love Monkey's glasses and admiring his proficiency at the computer :) Your stamping onto fabric is gorgeous - such a pretty bird scene. What a coincidence, I'm just trying out shrink plastic for the first time and not being successful with the colouring so thanks for the tip about colouring with water colour pencils, will give it a try. Have a great weekend. Elizabeth x #96
Still in love with Monkey. I think you should travel the world with him, taking photos as you go and let him write his own blog.
Now, down to the crafting. What stamps have you used on the fabric? Because it's looking fabulous.
Hope you're having a good weekend,
cheers, rachel #70
your project with shrink plastic sound very interesting, and monkey is adorable with his glasses!
