I couldn't wait!

It just dried so fast between coats! Here's the floorcloth...I like it!





Thoughts? I have made several floorcloths before but never "collaged".

Idea board

Last night I got my idea board finished and hung up on that big blank door! I had some extra fabric so I covered a small bulletin board too. Take a peek!







Now I just need to fill them up!

Off to put another coat of Polyurethane on my floorcloth...I will have it in the studio tomorrow morning and will show you then. I really like how it is turning out ;-)

Round the room...wind up!

From time to time I'll update you with changes...unless you're sick of my room already! ;-) I have ordered a bottom up/top down shade for the window that should be here in about a week. Once I get that up I think I'll be hanging some of my Moroccan type lanterns from the ceiling. I also have a big metal star lantern that I want to hang somewhere.

For all you safety experts out there please be aware that I am working on a ventilation system that will be installed ASAP and I will be piping the propane through the wall. Don't worry!! I want to be working with glass and books for a very long time! :-)

Any thoughts? Do you see anything that you would change or add/subtract? I would love your opinions! Also, don't forget...send me a link to your studio! Please!!

Oh no!

I forgot to update you guys! I updated my thread on TAM but forgot to load the pictures here!
Sorry!

How about a tour around the room? Bear in mind please that I have a bit more cleaning up to do, an inspiration board to finish up and hang on the closet door and I am working on the floorcloth too. But for now....here we go!

Moving Day!!

I am so tired but very, very happy! I started moving into the new studio today. Want to see a bit of a mess? LOL!









I'll show you better pictures once I'm all moved in....and maybe get a little rest! ;-)

I forgot to tell you!

I also wanted to show you some fabric I ordered. I plan on making an idea board to hang on the back of the closet door. My mom (an avid quilter) told me about a website that had hard to find fabrics - Hancocks of Paducah. You should take a peek - the fabrics are gorgeous!

This is the fabric I picked out for the idea board:



And when I saw this....well, as a flameworker I couldn't pass it up :-)



I think I'll make a new work apron out of it!

I have to admit that when a friend of mine showed me a picture of fabric with Fleur de Lis on it I seriously considered canceling the order for the Acanthus fabric but...I do love it. I'll have to tell you all about me and my favorite symbols one of these days. I'm sure you can guess them by now! Dragons, the Fleur de Lis, & Acanthus leaves ;-)

Do you have a favorite symbol?

Making Progress!

I really think I will be moving into the studio Friday!! I'm am soooooo happy and excited I can barely contain myself :-)) The room is coming out better than I imagined!

We still need to mount the upper cabinets and shelving; add the cabinet hardware and a few other little things (toe kick, baseboard, mount the light, etc) but we are very, very close!

Here are a few more pictures.





I would love to know what you all think!
