Recently, the family and I decided it would be a good idea to move my bedroom out of the studio. For a whole evening we laboured moving furniture around on the second floor of the house. The result is that both my bedroom and studio have their own separate rooms.
The disorganization of my brain is evident in these photos.
There is a god and it’s name is order!
Logically one would think that nothing could be created in here and truth be told nothing is being created in here for I am missing one all to important feature; that of work table that is high enough to stand at, for working; namely to get the packaging, photography and cutting area off of my creation table which all to often becomes cluttered with everything but art.
For now cardboard is serving two purposes, that of a table a for shooting product photos and that of packaging. Pictured below is the newest edition to my shop; mini greeting cards!
I’ll be commissioning my brother, the carpenter to build a table very shortly. Until then, I’ll make do with what I have.
And how could you not love that red vintage swivel rocking chair! I bought that close to 8 years ago from an office worker whose office was closing before leaving for Vancouver. They wanted $150 for it. After frantic negotiation he settled for $75. Then the arms and legs were removed, refinished and put back on hence restoring it to it’s original luster! Yes, I know how to sand and refinish vintage furniture.
Happy!
Happy!
Note to self: I must figure out where to put the new printer I am expecting tomorrow in the mail! The Epson paper and ink arrived today.

You obviously have an amazing and supportive family. How nice for you, and what a great space you have now.
peace,

I must admit that I am pretty jealous of the studio space you got there!
Refinishing furniture is a useful skill. The sanding skills translate well to working on car bodies, too.
That is a great chair.
Now I can see where you create your amazing art from, as well as where you are tweeting from!
hfedd – The space is coming along good. I don’t know what I’d do without my family.
atomicana – What a great user name you have!
Cheers!
candice – Sanding is fun! I had to wear a breathing mask while doing it because of the possibility of lead. One of these days I’ll try my hand at refinishing a car
And thanks about the chair.
Scott – I can see you to! Cheers!
That is an awesome chair
Yeah, I love that chair! I missed it when I was out West.
