I promised myself that I would, before 2012, have an actual "studio". Not a space carved out in a nook, not a speck of space that is much needed in my home, but an real honest to goodness studio.
Part of the reason for this is that I believe that to create the way I create - takes room. Mixed media artists need an incredible amount of stuff. Not want - need. We're always looking for the right bit or bauble for that future piece. Interesting junk becomes art with the addition of time and space to create.
So, much to the chagrin of more than one person, I am co-opting half of the big building. I started today. I am exhausted, but excited about having elbow room. As soon as I get sale stuff removed I'll post pics. I hope you'll comment, if for no other reason than to keep me motivated. :-)
In return, I'll add a little ephemera or art bits from time to time that you can use in your art or craft projects. Like this beauty. I have no idea where I found the image, but I've used it in backgrounds for pendants and in several collages. (If anyone knows where it came from, please remind me so I can give credit.)
It's charming - seems to be a child writing home for money, or to complain about the exchange rate. Oh, Why didn't I take French in High School?!?

If you make something using the image I'd LOVE to see it!

I took french in high school (my, that was a long time ago, lol) and my grandparents taught me a few Cajun french words (not french but def entertaining!) but I still know so very little french. Yes, I agree that mixed media peeps need space for their magpie treasures and fluffing their wings. Thank you for your sweet comments on my blog. ;) Heidi
