Hello-

I wanted to invite everyone to check out my new blog. 

Vox has been great, but I wanted something with just a little more flexibility.

Jeanette Janson- Mixed Media Artist

Please stop by- I would love to hear from you!

 

I thought it would be fun to show you a few pictures of my work space.

The walls are actually painted a very soothing mauve color, they look a bit pale in the photos. 

I did a some cleaning up today and realized I better take a few pictures before it becomes a crazy mess again.  Cleaning up after myself is not a priority when I am in the creative zone.

I made one of these dolls, the other two were made by very talented ladies, one of them being my friend, Barbara Linderman.

 

This is my work table area- collage pictures are  kept in the plastic bins- I have a big cork board over my table to try and stay organized and hang some favorite pictures.

 

 

My computer area.

I painted this table and love the final look.  It was plain off white with plenty of dings.  I love the finished look.

 

 

 

I love this assemblage.  It was made by Sarah Fishburn.  We did a trade awhile back. 

 

Here I am at my work table.

Be kind...it was about 10:30 pm when I decided to start taking pictures : )

 

 

 

These are some of my supplies.

I always seem to think I am running low until I really open my eyes and see what is around me.

 

More supplies....................

 

I have about 2 dozen old hats, but limited room to hang them all.  These are a few I have hanging in my studio.

I wanted to share this lovely angel with you.  It is very special to me because my son made it and gave it to me for Christmas.  He began working with stained glass a few months ago when his grandmother offered to teach him.  She is very artistic and has done everything from silversmithing to stained glass to mosaics.  He picked up the techniques quickly and began creating his own designs.  I love what he did with this angel, it is small and wears a wire halo....something I love to put on my assemblage dolls as well.  It is simple in design, but speaks volumes.  I love this gift and will always treasure it.
