ALICE
I had this really cute photo of my daughter that I wanted to do something with. So I decided to do a small collage. She's an Alice in Wonderland fan, so I chose an Alice theme. Here's how it turned out.

CREATING IN THE STUDIO
Here's Skye being creative in the new studio. That's Wilson the bunny who lives in the studio in the last photo (cute ain't he?)

VIEWS OF MY NEW STUDIO
My husband built this studio for me at our home. It started out as a covered patio. He began it after Christmas and finished it in June. I completed the decorating this month. I love the room and am finally beginning to get creative in there (in ways other than the decorating). Hopefully I'll soon shake the creative drain I've felt from stress of late.

The brick art wall has mostly art that is done by family and friends, but some of it is my own art to fill in space. The goal is to have a family and friends gallery. Noel and I covered the old chairs that went with our antique pub table we brought down from the attic, and I stenciled a sparrow on the seat in turquoise blue. I use the old wardrobe in the corner to store art supplies, as well as the long-low yellow cabinet that Noel and I made together that once sat outside on the patio and was home to chipmunks.

We invested in one new piece of furniture for the room, a futon. With the addition of the futon, the studio serves as a nice extra room for guests, or for me to sleep in when the hubby occasionally gets to sawing logs too loudly ;-)


















ATTEMPTING TO GET THE ARTISTIC PROCESS FLOWING
I've felt creatively drained lately. I decided to just do something, anything. There's not much to this piece at all, just some paper, stickers, rubber stamping, and gold leaf pen. Nothing fancy and it's a small piece too, only 5.5 inches x 5 inches. It's kinda cute though I guess.
