Studio - upper level


The Studio is always changing in some way but I think I have it set up now for at least the winter to be proactive. The one time garage gives me just over 200 sq feet to create in. My art is on the small scale so for now it does work.

The thinking and creating corner.

A work area

Open space when required
And room for a small work shop


The good thing about these folding tables is they can be easily put away when open space is required. I now have them up waist high and have started on the next exhibit "Standing Relations."

I've added a new gadget this morning - A slide show of some of my work that has be manipulated.

New Year -New Look

I dislike dark rooms.I find the lack of light uninspiring for me and tried as I might the resource/storage/clutter room was just wasted space that I had a hard time to work in. So for the last 4 days I decluttered, painted (55 yr old solid knotting pine) and moved things around to add a productive workspace to the Gated Hill Studio. This is the Machine room and I love the results.The sewing machines, embellisher, TV and Treadmill all in one spot. The room is bright even in the evening so I'll be able to work later. And I still have room for storage after a good
cleaning out.

Stitches

Looking for one thing and finding another ...... Stitch samples from my C&G Embroidery samples. I have hundreds of them and really glad I did so many as they have turned out to be a great resource.
