Took the day off....

I took the day off and enjoyed the beautiful fall day, put the top down on my car and away I went. I did a bit of shopping, what exactly is a bit?? I still don't know. Had lunch out and just enjoyed the day. I told Scarlet to take the day off because we have a lot of work to do and she needs the rest. It is so freeing to have the wind blow your do around!! LOL I think it's good to drive around with the top down in autumn just as in summer, I love the crisp air and don't really care that my car gets loaded with falling leaves. Fun day. Now I will have to get artfully again. I did get Scarlet, my muse, a few new things to play with like colorful chalks and ribbons. Now I need to settle down and get some art going. It's so hard when autumn beckons you outdoors. Be artful everyday.

Pictures Worth 1,000 Words

I am so glad I got these pictures up on my blog. I was writing to my goddaughter and decided to take pictures of my art space. Since I took the time to take the pictures, I thought I would scan and send pictures to my blog. I am glad I did. My art space looks just like the pictures, that is saying a lot since I don't take the greatest pictures some days. My goddaughter says that an art space is very important and I agree.

 

Where the magic happens

Magic happens on my work table. That is if Scarlet, my muse, is up to the task. I took this picture before Scarlet worked her messy magic! 

At Last - My Art Space

Here it is. My little slice of heaven on earth. It has been a long time coming but now my muse and I have a space to call our own. And we are very happy. 

Hello

Just killing some time while my photos dry. I have been printing my photos onto photo paper. I find that I get a better print by using that type of paper. It takes 24 hours to dry completely but I can handle it at least so that I can check how it will look when I use it in my artwork.

Right now, I am working on my project and making good progress!!! Keep your fingers crossed.

Busy, busy...

So now that I have my art room, I have been busy working on my 2 largest projects to date. I need to really concentrate on them so that I can get the project done on time. With moving into the art room I wasn't able to work on anything for about 2 weeks, needless to say, I was art starved!! No more excuses now. I have a lot of things to work on, there is a deadline for everything I am working on right now, you know, holidays and special artwork for people I care about need to be done and wrapped for the holidays. So maybe I should shut up and get to work. I wish you an artful day.

Great News!!!!

I have my own art room! Yes, after 5 years on the kitchen table, meals are now served in the kitchen and art is served in my art room. I hesitate to call it an art studio because I don't think I'm ready to call it that just yet. After a few more masterpieces in altering and collage maybe I will. Everyone has one, now I do, 2. It's wonderful to have my own space, surrounded by my artsy stuff, paper, glue, paints and all that glitters. I can clean up my work table or not. The work table is new, a wonderful creation 53 in.wide on wheels!!! Large enough to work on 2 projects at one time. I will take pictures and post them soon. I am still pinching myself.
