Artists at work...and a giveaway...


























Recently I had the sublime pleasure to visit two artist studios/workspaces...I love seeing other artists' spaces...
     how is it organized - or not...
     what tools and materials are at hand...
     what surrounds them as they work...

First up...on Sunday there was a reunion of sorts...those who had taken Seth Apter's Mixed Media Memoire workshop on Whidbey Island in May...John Arbuckle was kind enough to host...in his garage...with art supplies everywhere and plenty of table space, I was able to just about finish my journal that I started at the May workshop...surrounded by other artists in the midst of creating helped to motivate me...

I promise that I'll finish my journal soon
so I can share a few of the pages with you...


















The next day I travelled south to Bellevue to meet up with Jan Reingold of Izanna Jewelry...Jan is going to design a necklace for me to wear at a very special wedding...daughter #1 of the Southern Man, who is marrying her own southern man...in Atlanta in early September.



A few of these glass shards from ancient Rome will be the highlight of the piece...
a perfect combo of glint with grunge...












Jan's studio is filled with eye candy...she kept apologizing for the mess...looked like heaven to me...
 
My studio is truly the messy one...getting ready for Fresh Paint art show this coming weekend...and trying to downsize in preparation for a possible move, I'm all about cleaning stuff up and clearing it out...



So I'm offering a giveaway --a copy of Where Women Create Book of Inspiration written by Jo Packham and Jenny Doh...and this copy has been personally signed by Jo Packham...

Its filled with many artist studios to drool over...and I'll have one less book to pack!

Just leave me a comment here on my blog...and include your email if its not activated on your blogger profile otherwise I have no way to contact you...you have until next Monday August 19 to comment...winner announced on Tuesday August 20.  Want a second chance to enter..."like" my four corners design Facebook page and leave a comment over there as well...




back to cleaning up the mess...though likely I'll get distracted...creating once again...

worth a look...
