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 want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I wish you health, good fortune and loads of whatever makes you happy in 2007. Put aside the corny resolutions and just do what you know is the right thing for you. I plan on dedicating more time to my artwork. It usually gets squeezed in whenever I can find the time, but I plan on getting a little better organized and dedicating "days" to my work instead of "hours" here and there. Creating art is really what makes me happy, I am blessed to have found that in my life.
I just finished up a batch of assemblage dolls. I have them listed on etsy if you are interested.
Here are a few pictures:
Two of the dolls are "Charming" a little play on words since they have vintage charms dangling from the bottom.
One is entitled "blessed" I guess some of my personal feelings are coming through as I reflect on the past and the future. The other is called "serene" do we see a pattern here?
XOXO Jeanette

I have some new birds listed on ebay
I had some advance orders for birds, so I thought I would make up a few extra and list them. It is better to make them in multiples rather than one at a time.
The ideas seem to flow better that way.
These would make really cute and unique gifts for someone special. There's still time!!
I am getting together with my "artist" friends tomorrow. I need to do some baking tonight so we can do an exchange. Banana bread...chocolate chip cookies....I have not decided yet.
Will try to post some pictures of our get together soon.
Bye!
I have been working on a wholesale order for the last few days- I do supply stores in quantity if anyone knows of a store owner who may be looking for something different. I am currently supplying about 3 different stores.
I finally got around to watching Sylvia the other night. It was really good. I loved the artsy quality of the movie. It was kind of anti-climatic though, knowing that she kills herself in the end. Gwyneth did a great job as Sylvia. I just loved her in the role. She is so talented, she really "becomes" the person.
Ahhh...Sunday, what a great day to relax and catch up before a new week begins.
We watched "Capote" last night. I was a little disappointed, it was slow. I know it got great reviews, but it just seemed to drag. I was really excited about seeing it too...Maybe I need to rewatch it when I am a little more awake.
I set up my etsy shop today

I listed a few of my art birds on there. I love making these birds, they are so much fun and they all really seem to have their own personalities. I have become a little obsessed with birds, nests, eggs and flying. Maybe it is the flying/freedom factor that is so appealing.
I also listed some of my key pins. These are made from old keys that have been painted, drilled and embellished.
I bought a huge load of keys this past summer and started playing around with them, the key pins are what developed. I recently offered them for the first time at a show I did and they got a very good response.
Hope you all have a restful Sunday!
