Over the weekend I started picking up my art space. Putting it back to rights after a shameful amount of time of just moving enough stuff to get a few inches to work within.
Of course, as I was sorting through my piles of papers, I found a blank ATC background ready to use. The stamps where also within sight so…this simple ATC was born.
Next I found this raven image and knew that I already had a pre-painted page in my Playtime AB that would likely look pretty good. When I have extra paint on my palette I paint it onto a random page in a book. Waste not, want not.
Lastly I grabbed my Nature book from the AB 101 class my friend Elizabeth taught several years ago. If you are interested she is currently teaching it again
…for FREE…
on her blog.
I’m not thrilled with the outside edge. I may go back and cover the dots or make them a little more subdued.
I’m hoping to get my art space completely cleaned up and show some “shameful” before and then clean after photos soon. I have a knitted dishcloth order to fill before I can commit anymore time to my art. Totally forgot that they were needed by next weekend!! AGH!
Isn’t it amazing what you can find when house cleaning the craft room? Those ideas seem so great at the time. If you’re like me, if I get interrupted I loose my mojo! Looks like you are doing a fine job of wrapping up some projects.
I am SO late visiting your blog. I haven’t been here since we talked on the phone. I will eventually catch up, but I’m running way, way behind. I can’t figure out why my computer is taking so long to show anything. I keep getting the “not responding” message, whether it is an internet or a computer program (like PS or WordPerfect). Regardless, I am thrilled that you have WORK, even though it sounds like gruesome WORK to me. Glad you like to knit. And I’m also glad you are back in the AB. It’s worth the effort.
BTW, I can’t wait to see your AFTER photos!
Just love when cleaning turns into inspiration! :)
