An update on what's no longer missing in my studio space

A couple weeks ago, I wrote about how my studio space was missing a place for current projects or works in progress.

It is really cool to have that in my studio. I've been doing stuff. Just a few minutes ago, I put together a collage of a bunch of paper money & coins I saved from my 1990 trip to Italy & Greece. I'd been wanting to do it for ages.

Over the weekend, I finished a project I started at Christmas. I took some clear flat marble like "stones" from a hobby store... and glued Christmas pictures on the back. The glue dries clear and voila... a neat bunch of Christmas "stones". (Okay... I've got to get a camera to show you all what I did).

I also fixed a yarn doll I made that had started coming undone.

I wet the back of a watercolor I painted 2 years ago to flatten it out. When I initially did it... I forgot to wet the back, so it ended up curling lengthwise. Now... it lays flat.

I'm happy to be creating things again. The "Works in progress" zone is really helping.

What was missing from my studio space

A couple of weeks ago, it hit me. My art studio/office space was missing something very important. I had artwork on display, sacred mementos on display, plenty of storage for supplies, and a good table (an old computer desk) to do projects on in the center of the room so I could walk all the way around it. But a couple of weeks ago, I realized I didn't have any place to put works in progress such as projects I was working on or that needed finishing. So, I went through everything, moved stuff around, finding several unfinished projects in the process. And now... I have it. A space for unfinished projects or works in progress. Now I can see what I have to work on. As I finish each project and empty that space out ... I also get a visual message of completion.
