Do-Something-Everyday: A Peek into My Studio

Do-Something-Everyday: Week 2, day2

The new shelves from Pier1 arrived today giving me much needed storage space. Last summer we converted the breezeway into a studio space. It got new windows, new flooring and a dry wall. It is a three-season space; as it does not have heater it cannot be used in winter. Rest of the year it is cool and cozy.

Desk with the inspiration board.

Do-Something-Everyday: Handmade Mixed Media Clock

Do-Something-Everyday: Day 5

Handmade mixed-media clock using square wood panel and clock mechanism. I painted a couple of pots to which I added folk art style circular wood pieces with bird images. Finally, I added a small wood panel upon which I had woodburned June Kenyon's excellent advice to writers and artists (from A Hundred White Daffodils):

Be a good steward of your gifts. Protect your time. Feed your inner life. Avoid too much noise. Read good book, have good sentences in your ears. Be by yourself as often as you can. Walk. Take the phone off the hook. Work regular hours.
