The dirty dozen

linking up to texture tuesday




Last week I wrote about how inspiring it is to peek inside the work spaces of other creative souls...so I thought it was only fair to give you a peek inside of mine...but you have to remember that I have spent the past weekend at a local art show...not that my space would be any tidier if I had been at home...but its a good excuse!
 




So here are a dozen random shots of my office work space...
taken later in the day so the light is fading...and maybe makes the mess seem more...arty...




































I have three large bookcases in my office space...filled with books...and lots of other stuff...


















































I keep thinking that I'm going to do a great project with old embroidery hoops...you never know...






























The framed collage is a piece I made in college...using what was available as supplies to a starving student...magazines...the etched bird is from my high school art class...in between all of the math and science courses, I managed to squeeze in one year of art...






































The print in the back is a page from a catalog I kept while living in London...where "four corners design" was born...I always thought the saying was quite appropriate...





































































the boards above my desk...one galvanized metal, the other cork...

















































more mementos...the postcard of the building with the pillars...the hotel my sister and I stayed at when we visited Florence in 1993...when we stayed in the "special" room...






































my collection of black croquet balls...with an "8" ball thrown in for good luck...

Since I spend a good chunk of time in here,  it would seem that I would become oblivious to my surroundings...but looking around as I took these photographs, it is clear that their energy influences my work...as evidenced in the collage that I made from scraps on my table one day...






































And now, as promised...the winner of my giveaway...a signed author copy of Where Women Create Inspiration is
