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

 

 

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!

I visited my sister and her family in Tampa, Florida over the Holidays.  While there, I had to squeeze in an antiques and collectible show, the Tampa Antique Fair

that looked too good to pass up.  Luckily, we got there as they were opening the gates on Saturday morning and were able to try and quickly browse through everything without getting too bogged down.

"Harry Rinker" from Collector Inspector on HGTV was going to be there at noon doing appraisals, but we had to be out of there and on the road by then, and I never did get a chance to meet him.

I found lots of antique buttons for my bracelets, some sweet little girl hand  embroidered gloves, little dolls, lockets and a bunch of vintage postcards.  I have tons of stuff to work with now, between the few shows I have been to this Fall, now I need to get busy creating. 

I do have a few things still available on my website for sale, some bracelets, assemblages and dolls if anyone needs to find a unique Christmas present.

All the Best- Jeanette
