The Orange Wheelbarrow

Me Musing . . . February 19, 2010 . . .

Whoopee!

We pretty much finished everything last weekend and then came the 'fun' part of sorting, organizing and just enjoying the ambiance of my new little Chinra Studio.

Here are the latest photos:


We had a damaged piece of the tackboard left
so Eb decided to neaten it up and put it up too
as he knows I love pinning up photos and favorite things

 


Favorites onto the tackboard . . .
2010 is the 2nd year in a 9 year cycle for me and
all about 'recognizing and honouring my strengths'.
(I'd say this Studio is a testament to THAT!!!!!!!!!)

 


Found this wonderful tall light
and put it on a remote control
so I can turn it on from the step
before entering the Studio.

 


Sorting through my boxes of paper scraps
for Kollage notecards

 


What would a room be without a Bowl ????!!!!!!

 


Entry from the back door and laundry room

 


Looking toward new window . . .
(all my art tables I had specially made in 1998 fit perfectly)

 


On around the room

 


Seating area

 


Barnwood shelves Eb made a few years ago
for my tea bowl collection . . . now share space
with brushes and pens!

 


Tea Bowls on shelves

 


Toward sewing wall
(all my fabric is stored in the tall wooden cabinet)

 


Sewing machines cleaned and oiled and ready to roll

 


Toward entry from inside the Studio

 


I fell in love with this rock and entry idea when
I saw it in a book years ago . . .

and what a hoot . . . this attached garage
came with its own little entry rock step!

 

It's completed and I am beyond excited!

P.S.

As my Studio Gift, I ordered a sakiori obi handwoven of silk shreds (from Kimono) as the weft and silk threads for warp. It's always difficult to tell from colours on the computer monitor what it really is, but the yellow and brown are perfect! It is from the Taisho or early Showa period (1920s~1940s).

It arrived today after I had taken the other photos, so here it is in all its 'fabulous-ness' and displays well on the old garage door runner!

Until soon,

Che'usa
