This is my very small, very cramped temporary work area at home. I’m waiting to move into our house’s second floor which will be turned into a studio/working area for me. It’s currently being cleaned out as it is a landfill of my dad’s accumulated stuff/trash over the years– it’s a nightmare! Until then, this is my current working setup. I’m very careful not to spill my cup of water (which I use for rinsing my paintbrush in between colors) on my laptop which is just a few inches away!
This is a little teaser of what I’ve been doing lately. I’ve been working with watercolors and paintbrushes again, something I haven’t done since college, when we made color wheels for Color Theory class. I’m also using spray varnish/acrylic gloss for the first time and although I use the stuff outdoors in our garden, the fumes make my head hurt sometimes. Anyway, this little bear and his winged companion is going in the shop.
I’m getting a big batch of button pins for the shop next week. It’s a bit overdue; I was supposed to have them up two weeks ago but I ran into a few problems with my supplier(s). I managed to scout around for a new one and I’m getting my (initial) order of 200 pins on Tuesday! Some of them will be sold locally; the others will only be available online. Will let you guys know on this blog when I have them up! In the meanwhile, why don’t you go browse my Etsy shop to see if there’s already something you might like?
Have a good weekend, everyone :)
