In Here......This is what we call the "Rock Room." I've been working in this part of the house for some time now, and it's great until we entertain a larger crowd, as in holidays or whenever said crowd presents themselves. No matter how much space I have, it always seems to disintegrate into about 10 square inches of horizontal surface anyway. This is a family dining room. When I need to sew, the machine plops onto the kitchen table. When I paint, it's outside or here in the rock room, jewelry happens here, papier mache...stained glass, this is where I've been. Okay, so this is where the huge confession of a natural packrat comes in to play. I do have another space. Half of an historic barn. The beginnings and endings of a lovely little and mostly restored bohemian apartment. Tiny kitchen, a bathroom, next to my vegetable garden. Vintage wallpaper....woodburner cookstove, nice old windows adorned with stained glass. I don't use it. Well, it's used for sure, but not to work. The reason I am sharing this with those of you sweet and patient enough to actually read this, is to irrevocably shame myself into doing something about it.
This is the glass on the upper portion of the door leading into my space. Are you prepared to see what lies within??
Oh forgot to say that is one gorgeous picture of you!

Oh my gosh ... you don't have a thing to be ashamed of! Do you realize how many artist out there would die for a work space like yours ...me me me me me :)) Just enjoy your space, create art and love life!

Your photos are great Liz.
ReplyDeleteI am a total pack rat too, I long to be more japanese about things, but oh well, there is always a can of gas and a book of matches around to solve things quickly!
Have a great weekend yourself. TF
Lis, you are a stunner, aren't you!
ReplyDeleteAnd Asa truely is an artist - he had wonderful materials to work with and pulled it together into a beautiful piece of art!
You've tugged at my heartstrings and made me want to buy a plane ticket to come out and help you clean ( pure benevolence on my part, as my greedy fingers itch to see what's under those piles ), but then you mentioned snow!
So now I will wait and see what you pull out of the magical mess to list in your shop - I had better start saving my pennies!
I love it all, from the parlor picture to the studio to the acute disorganized packratitis. Good luck with all the work you have to do in your barn. Keep us posted!

that really is a superb photo- it captures so much about you.
ReplyDeletelook at the mountain of wonders stowed away! it's going to be fascinating work going through it all and rediscovering lost treasures.
Thanks Altered Artifactis and Dio...glad you liked the photo.
ReplyDeleteLisa, great to see you this weekend. Your new workspace will be amazing!
Awww, you are some terrific people, you are! I just finished my third 10 hour day, and probably have two or three more to go before I can show you some pictures. It is going to be very, very cool.....
ReplyDeleteLis,

Au Revoir,
