Studio = Success

The studio is a success! This is my second week going there and I’m finally getting into the groove of working there. It’s quiet and perfect to actually relax and concentrate on making art…..this picture above is from my iphone but one of my newest pieces that I’m quite happy about. Cross your fingers for me – hopefully by June 26th I have a whole room full of these. ;)

Warm = Good

Today was awesome. Bobby and I woke up and walked over to Rush Street for some yummy food at the Original Pancake House. It was 72 degrees, sunny, with a little bit of breeze…I had strawberry crepes with whipped cream and Bobby and I did some serious people watching. lol. It was so relaxing to just sit and have breakfast and not have plans for the rest of the day.

After breakfast we walked over to the lake and sat by the water and talked and soaked up some sun.  It was literally the most relaxing day I’ve had in 3 months.   I hope everybody else out there had a chance to get outside today. :)

New studio~!

I’ve been thinking about renting out a space to work on my art for the past few months and finally did it. :) I had been looking for options on craigslist and other art resources online – had a bit of luck but not really finding exactly what I wanted. Bobby and I went to see the Fulton Street Collective and I was pretty set on renting there, but I wasn’t super pumped about the location. In the process of making my final decision on that, I randomly did one more search on craigslist and found a someone at The Splat Flats that needed a subleaser from May-July – perfect!! So, last Thursday I got the keys to my new studio and its smack dab in the middle of my old neighborhood….love the location, its a perfect size and the nice girl left me some furniture and a drawing table. I’m seriously thrilled about this opportunity and I can’t wait to get started…I’m going to be so productive now! Yipee!
