Studio redo - before and during.

Hallo,

   Welcome to 2026 - finally getting a chance to do some catch up here on my blog.

   Over the holidays the gallery where my art and my studio space is usually closes for a week, so I took advantage of that time to totally revamp my studio space. The first 3 pics show how overstuff and cluttered my studio was. I took everything out of the studio and piled it on tables in the middle of the gallery's classroom space - the next 2 pics - and then started building new shelves and cleaning. When I took things out I tried to group everything together on the tables to make it easier to put back - which really helped!!

   I got rid of my 2 big, ungainly worktables and got new shelves and new worktables.   The last 2 pics show new shelves and one of my new tables. Total work time for me was about 32 hours , with my sweet hubby putting in about 7 hours helping me build shelves and put together the worktables.

  Stayed tuned for the next post for the 'After' pictures!!!

    Take Care

Pink again.....

Hallo,

  Another pink Christmas basket - with red and green trees.  I am usually not a big fan of pink but these pink baskets have turned out kinda cute.

   7 1/4 round by 2 1/4 tall with a large seashell slice for the base.

  Take Care and if I don't get back before then, have a very Merry Christmas!!!!!

Pink Christmas basket

Hallo,

   Haven't been able to get in my studio to paint lately so my hands have been busy in the evenings while watching TV - mainly Nebraska Girls Volleyball, Husker Football, cooking shows and a movie or 2....

  Inspired by  trip to Hobby Lobby and the bazillion PINK Christmas decorations this year.

  I used a seashell slice for the base, paper coil and cotton cording. The one took me about 6 hours - ish to do.

   All for today - Take Care

Green and red Christmas basket X2

Hallo,

  Tried something new with this basket to make the triangles - it is a fun little pattern, not too complicated but looks cute.

   This basket is 7- and 3/4-inches round and 3 and 1/2 inches tall.

   I am not going to blab much tonight, getting late and I made this basket with the basic coiling techniques same as all the others... 😁

   Have a great evening!!!
