I am always on a quest to create the perfect home studio space. In the last few months I have organized and tossed out old brushes, dry paint, and put like things together. It's beautiful...I can finally find what I'm looking for when I need it. The process has made it super easy to create at home when the creative muse strikes.
I have to tell you about my metal room divider... I had a metal room divider that separates my studio from the rest of my living space. One day it started making me feel cramped and closed in...so I moved it in front of the big wooden table where I journal and create. Ahhhh! The room opened up and the creativity began to flow.
The metal made it easy to display my art and I found strong magnetic hooks to hang a few of my paintings and other inspirational objects. The other day I found some magnetic plastic shelves at the dollar store. I spray painted them a metallic color to match the room divider and presto...I now have a perfect place to store my stamps. I am so proud I had to share.
Keep a little journal with you or your digital camera and write or take photos of things that you see that are the color RED. You can share your findings on the facebook page by adding your photos or photos of your journal pages. Lets see what amazing things we find.
The Juicy Soul Retreat was wonderful. Thanks to all the lovely ladies who attended and created journals. I hope to hear more from you in the next few months about your journaling process and the clarity that is created. I want to hear about silent retreats, loving your words, new directions in career, studio spaces, new relationships and anything that inspires you to create a life you love.
Here are some links to resources we discussed in class: Flax Daiso Your Font - Create your own handwriting font
Thanks everyone who responded to my email announcing the Juicy Soul Retreat. It was great to hear from everyone. I cant wait to share and enjoy Sunday's retreat with you.
I have been feeling so creative these days. I took a trip to a local flea market with a friend. We looked at everything and took photos. We ate yummy food from those scary food vans. We listened to drummers and people singing. Summer is here in Californina. (Yes we have had our random rainy days). I love summer because I like to create art outside.
If you are feeling the creative itch to create as summer rolls in...join us for the Juicy Soul Retreat is this weekend.
