More sketchbook stuff

In case my sister takes a look at my blog, I stole the idea of posting sketchbook drawings from her...Thanks sis.

Skeleton Doll

Check out my latest "softie" creation. I call him Jack. I might make Jill tomorrow.

Sketchbook Memories

I have been looking through old sketchbooks for ideas for my next project.

A Charmed Life

Tara and I have been creating these beautiful little bead and found object bracelets. I have never made any type of jewelry before so I had to stick to basic stuff when it came to attachment techniques. For our first try I think they are really cool.

House Work

After several months of renovations, my family has finally moved to our new home. However, we did not complete all of our projects prior to move in. Most weekends we are working on the house, leaving little time for studio work. Plus we have been cleaning up from a hurricane that left the yard a mess. We have just about removed all the trees we lost. My shady yard isn't so shady anymore. I may get that garden after all.

I have finally started organizing the studio and have realized that I have an extraordinary collection of stuff!!! I feel the urge to purge but I just can't....so I need to develop a great storage system for odds and ends. I would really like to see other people's solutions to art material storage. I have a few books (there are not many available on the market...I have searched!) about art studio stuff and I love looking at the pictures. But these are picture perfect... the studios are art in of themselves. Which I can so be inspired by but I need to make art not spend forever setting up the studio. I need real person ideas. The space is just about in working order and I should be off to the clay store in the next few weeks. I'm so excited!!!!
