Hi Guys…. I have had several people ask about where and how I create… sooo I thought I would show you around the studio. I have been painting like a mad women.. when creativity happens you just gotta let it go…. So when I thought about taking photos …. eeek… I started cleaning things up and then I thought… no… I’m gonna let you see it like it normally is.  I love the magazine “Where women create“…everyones studio is beautiful and neat and organized… ugg… FYI this is not the where women create version of the studio… this is the real deal…

I started cleaning here so my boards are very tidy… one is for inspiration and the other are my boys… cards and keepsakes

She is possibly the ugliest chair on the planet… but sooo comfy… just the right height for my table and easel… so “she” stays… by the way she was a goodwill find (surprising i know)

I’m using an hp scanner printer… but when I grow up I want an Epson scanner and Epson printer… they are the best… this will do for now.  I work off of a Toshiba laptop

this is my organizer… it’s a framed piece of wood that I painted chalkboard paint on, it is 6 x 3 ft…luv it…

 Scruffy is a usual guest, we found him wandering around in our yard.. put up posters no one claimed him… he is such a little lover!

 Trinkets I have picked up on my travels… the old typewriter I actually use for words in my art and a box filled with tape and tape measures.

 baskets of papers, old pieces that never came to fruition, and books and fabric… all waiting to be used in a piece…mmm just looking at the pictures gives me such a yummy feeling… I love me some paper!

these deserve a little explanation…. my table as it usually is… especially after a whirlwind creative session…. ok now… there is usually always a sonic cup on my table… with lip gloss… a girls got to have her diet coke or tea and a good lip glass… I’m kind a lip gloss junkie… only from bath and body works…now the spoon… well…. the kids came home with dq blizzards…. I couldn’t say no…

around my work table area

baskets of paints and more bookstubs of stamps and more paper

 and my side kick that follows me where ever I go…:)

 and me… yup still in my jammies…. 🙁

Hope your day is filled with creativity and passion… Big Smile=Shawn
