In The Thick Of It

Here is the state of my 'Command Central' as I tend to think of it. Ever since I got my own dedicated studio space in the house (August) I have been becoming more and more immersed in the process of establishing my creative environment. As in, no need to put anything away at the end of a session... let the moment pause but no need to disturb it's bearings... I love that! There is such a tactile connection to the artist's materials and their readiness to be at hand, ready to respond to the hand/mind/eye coordination that in a flash manifests itself in a move propelling the work forward...

My New Studio Space

I've had a hectic week, thus no posting for a while! With one of my daughters moving out a spare room was created. I was sorry to see her go however it meant I could move my 'studio' from the dining room up to it's own contained space. Three coats of white paint later I have a fresh blank canvas of a room to create in! I am still getting used to having a well set up space; so organized with 3 set-ups; one for sewing, one for card making and one for the computer. I still need to adorn the walls with some favorite artwork although I don't want to add too much at this point. The calmness is refreshing and I can focus on the color in the work I am doing.
