Studio Pictures.

I'm totally obsessed with the magazine "Where Woman Create" I love drooling over the amazing setups and professional studios that some of these woman have. My dream is to someday have a studio/gallery with lots of space, running water (so I can stop getting paint in the guestroom bathroom sink) and room for classes and friends to come create with me. I'm sure most of you have similar workspace dreams. ;)
Though, I am lucky enough to have an extra room to create in, my stuff still spills out into the rest of the house and really that's OK with me. I've gotten used to moving canvases and throwing boxes in closets when company comes. I also didn't really plan my studio, it started out as an office and grew from my day to day needs. Someday I'd like to take everything out and paint and plan where things should go. The only reason that hasn't happened yet is the days I'll lose without my studio together. LOL Anyhow, today I thought I'd share a few photos with you and a few more photos of spots around my home that inspire me. :) I'd love to see your work spaces too! Please let me know if you post pics on your blog or website!

Here is my main work desk. It is great for small projects and close to my laser printer.


A view of some of the goodies on my bookshelf.


A few of my journals. I love how they look together.


Ephemera goodness!


A view of my desk in mid project. Messy goodness!


My inspiration wall.








Treasure! ;)


My mom gave me her old silver plated teapot and I put it to good use. It makes me so happy.


I got fed up with the small size of the Ranger melting pot so I bought a red crockpot for $14. Works great for melting beeswax and I love the color.


My closet space. Jared put the shelving in for me a while back as a surprise when I was out of town. The pretty "create" banner is from my new online class.


Part of my kitchen. I put alot my my finished pieces here so I can see what inventory I've got. This is also the first spot friends and family will go when they want to buy something. ;)


A hall wall. How cute is Oliver in the background? hehe

An ever changing still life setup on my dining table.

One of my favorite bedroom jewelry displays. Many of these pieces I made myself or have been purchased from other artists.

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek inside my space! :)

New Online Class! Soul Journaling: OutSide The BoOk- Prayer Flags

New Online Class! ====> Soul Journaling: OutSide The BoOk- Prayer Flags!!!
Soul Journaling: Outside the Book is a new series of workshops designed to use the techniques you have already learned (along with new techniques taught in the classes) to push your journaling beyond the confines of the printed page. In Outside the Book - Prayer Flags you will learn to make a banner from muslin that will set free the creative journaler within as well as create a beautiful piece of art to hang in your studio or home.

Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. They are inscribed with auspicious symbols, invocations, prayers, and mantras. For centuries, Tibetan Buddhists have flown these flags outside their homes and places of spiritual practice for the wind to carry the “beneficent vibrations” across the countryside. Prayer flags are said to bring happiness, long life and prosperity to the flag planter and those in the vicinity.
In this online class we are going to make our own prayer flags. These need not be a religious endeavor but rather a spiritual journey appropriate for everyone.

This class includes a work-at-your-own-pace 22 page printable pdf, online support from me, private yahoo group membership, class discussion and photo sharing AND a 48 minute bonus video where I show you how to make an alternative animal banner. In this video, you will see me draw my owl from start to finish. This is a great behind the scenes look at one of my favorite drawing styles! :)










$45 for the class, you get everything at once. No waiting! :) No start or end date so everything is strictly work at your own pace. Once I receive your payment verification email from PayPal I will send you an invite to join our private yahoo group within 24 hours.
