OK, so I haven't written a new post in a while. A major reason is that I've been working on setting up my new studio! It's almost exactly 100 steps from my house (I counted!) and it's the one benefit of the sad situation of my neighbor/partner-in-creativity Kathy moving to North Carolina...I was next in line for a studio here at the Co-op. I'm currently sharing it with another neighbor Janet, a movement specialist/dancer who wants to use it for the open space, which is why everything is pushed against the walls. I'm really hoping this will work out for both our needs...it'll be great if it does! Anyway, there's lots more to be done, but here's the space so far after a thorough cleaning and preliminary set-up:
Kathy told me that this is an antique dentist's cabinet. I think it'll be perfect for beads!
Kathy gave me this old mannequin from an NYC fashion house. I love it!
The exterior of the building has enameled tiles by Paul Hultberg. His son is in the neighborhood and plans to stop by soon and help clear out some of the foliage blocking their view, so hopefully I'll have a better picture soon (I took this one by leaning out the studio window!)
I'm so happy to have this space...I've been waiting for something like this for a long, long time. By the way, isn't the church pew great? Not tremendously practical, but it fits so well in there and I may end up using the seats as bead display areas. The back area looks a little blank, but my main work table (against the back wall) has two more leaves, so I can make it bigger when I need to. I'm looking forward to figuring out all sorts of creative ways to use the space. Yay!
