just for fun - studio photos

I just tidied up the studio and thought it would be a good time to take some photos. See...I've kept it clean and organized for months now and it's so much more pleasant to work when I know where things are. i can't count on my memory so lots of things are labeled. I love my easel (thank you jim!) and use it a lot. The basket on the left is full of journals i work in, on the right is a pile of unfinished/work in progress (it's only the tip of the iceberg too).

Heather, Jeff and family came over on Sunday and she, Jeff, and Walter worked together to wrap me in duck tape - I finally got the dress form made that I've longed for. The old round metal stand in front is where I'm going to mount it. It will be finished by the weeked if all goes according to plan.

It's a funky space but it's big and feels like home. When Walter retires, in the next year or two, he has mentioned he'd like to build me a detached building for my studio, now that would be really nice!

I love your creative space ... it seems very 'you'! No wonder you love it. I agree that keeping things labelled and orderly is more pleasant. I tend to let things pile up for a week then do a big put-away, and the relief is palpable. I find I am much more creative when I have some SPACE!

oh katie that is one rich & juicy space. i die.

Wow! I love looking at all your stuff! A duck tape dress form; what a clever idea! And it would be soo nice to have a freestanding studio all your own, wouldn't it? Hope it happens.

Enjoyed the photos. The trees in the leaves is a wonderful look at things. Studio looks just like a studio should, like it's used!

oh I love the little glimpses into your studio that we are given from time to time. i have just moved into our beautiful new house and have set up temporary working space in my studio. we are waiting to fully line and paint the walls until we set it up permanently. sigh.... for now it's "camping" on the floor and any other surface I can find!!!
little peeks into other studios feed my imagination about how mine may look sometime soon, so thank you Katie!

I happened to see that you have janome sewing machine. i really want a new sewing machine for my bday/xmas present. do you recommend the one you have? I want one that will do regular clothing sewing/quilts, etc. but also be able to handle mixed media applications like paper. Thanks for any tips.
