Inside the Studio: Wall Art and Cart

Hello.

Here is the last post regarding the appearance of my studio. Above is a photo of area beside the closet seen in previous posting. Bottom shelf contains some Junes Melange items you might recognize. Top shelf, miscellaneous objects recently created just for fun.

Below the shelving is metal cart on wheels. The newly painted blue drawers belong to an old dresser now in retirement. The top drawer holds art tablets and some frames awaiting artwork. The other two, I refer as my lazy drawers. Here, various drawings and art reference materials are set aside to sort through on another day. As you can see, no orderly manner happening here.

Above photo is the area where my work desk is located (see February 6th studio post). As mentioned in previous post, here is the other five dollar curtain panel used to hide various art supplies such as glues, varnishes, paints, and much more. Some of the pictures on wall were purchased several years ago at Shorey's Bookstore located in Seattle. Sadly, the bookstore dealing with used rare books and prints, closed in 2000.

Behind the candle holder is a beeswax plaque discovered at flea market. Later, I'll take it down and shoot a closeup. Appealing due to antiqued appearance and European city scene. Also, love the miniature pictures of antique chairs displayed in old frames I painted with milk paint medium. Lately, these depictions of chairs have inspired me to draw my own version of some antique decorative chairs. So, perhaps in the very near future.

Closeup of shadowbox I recently made. The picture of birds comes from magazine tearsheet. Here's a game: Can anyone guess what those bunches of small objects with round heads are? No guess? Answer found somewhere in this post.

Handmade bulletin board hangs above my work desk. Pictures pinned to canvas are inspiring due to color or subject matter. Still in pursuit of a hanging vintage birdcage to replace the chandelier.

That's it for Studioscapes and clothespins. Ha,Ha.

Onward to something different. Stay tune for Wednesday, March 12th!!

Cheers!

Just discovered your blog. Very interesting and creative. Monstrously creative.

A rather Victorian feel, I would say, but quirkier. Will have to delve further, says my curiosity.

I love all these wonderful photographs. I'm a big fan of your work and it's been so nice to get these little glimpses into your creative workspace.

It's all just so lovely. Every corner is its own little vignette filled with such interesting art and materials and all beautifully presented.

Surely this can't be the last tour of your studio? I never get tired of seeing pictures like this.

Still I'm looking forward to seeing your next post on Wednesday. I'll be back then.

Have a great week!

Hi Lisa,

Yes. These are my last posts regarding studio for a while at least. In a few weeks, considering showcasing office. Then onward to the rest of my house.

Cheers!
