more postcards- eventually

Posted on by

I am working on postcards now. But there has been so many steps between the intention and the end product! I spent a lot of last weekend, cleaning up in my studio. A friend was suppose to come for a visit and I realized it was so bad that 2 people could hardly fit in the room together, let alone actually sit down and visit. So- step one, find the floor-

well, you can see I’ve already started to lay out new projects in that picture.
Step 2- cut out the sketches from my fabric sketchbook. I washed them because I used a water soluble chalk pencil on some of them. Here they are, drying on the edge of the bathtub-

Oh No! Now the floor is completely covered again!

I worked on the floor for a day- boy, was I sorry though. My back was killing me by evening. The next morning I cleared off a table (i.e. piled everything up on top of any other clear surface) and layed the project out so that I could sit at my chair and also have decent light.

ah, much better. And here we are today-

the floor is not too bad- at least I can move around and find stuff… Hopefully I’ll be able to show some finished postcards in the next few days.

One of the people in my doll club, brought this book, Kokoro no Te by Kumiko Sudo, to show us. I ended up buying myself a copy- it is fantastic! It has some inspired sewing kits- I might have to try making one, instead of just admiring the beautiful photos.

  1. you and I are like 2 peas in a pod. This could almost be my studio, except that the floor is a different colour, and mine is also covered in snowdrifts of dog hair.

  2. I can so totally relate to this! Well, except for the fact that I don’t have a designated studio space just yet (will soon though). So for now my insanity is clustered around my nightstand and my favorite spot in the living room. :-O

  3. Love your mock studio…mine is the living room only because the cats over took my overly hot 3rd floor and the basement is a mess. Let’s just say having art lessons here is a stressful challenge. I really need to get semi-organized…or at least a room of my own (to quote Virginia Woolf)
