Today was an incredibly productive day. I ended up (with the wonderful help of Ivan) setting up my entire art studio, new desk and all. I ended up getting legs and a table top from Ikea for realllllly cheap and the table is over 6 feet long and wider than 2 feet which is WONDERFUL. It fits in the space VERY nicely. I also hung my green curtains up in the studio and suddenly it really felt like MY SPACE.
You walk into the studio and it smells like my incense, the green curtains scream Devin and I even added a little plant I named Pete the Plant. He’s very cute and sits on the table underneath the north facing window.
Ivan set up the tall chairs I got, and most of the table, I organized and put stuff away…it really looks great in there.
Not only is my studio now set up, but I picked up some fancy fabrics from Vogue in Evanston to use for book binding cloth (very exciting) and small pieces needed for my “sewing kit”. I’m ALL kinds of excited about sewing and knitting and crocheting again…I love love love all things arts and craftsy!!!
I cannot WAIT to have a little Stitch ‘N Bitch in my studio space sometime this summer…all us crafty ladies lounging in chairs or hanging out around the big table. It will be cratastic fun!
About today’s image…the original image for this is one close to my heart and part of a series of photos I’ve been taking for over a couple years now. I didn’t want to show the original photo image because I plan on using it for something else and don’t want things in my work to become overly repetative and thus boring. 
I need more inspiration for these digital images…while I’m not spending too much time on them (as I have none to spend) I am suffering for need of inspiration. Anyone have anything to challenge me with or spark my interest, do share – I’d love to credit you for the help!!!
Cheers!
