A bit of inspiration in a corner – a thangka from Nepal with an image of Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom, and his flaming sword of truth to remind me to keep it real and Cyndi Lauper to remind me to keep it fun!

A picture titled “Acetylene” is an inspiration to Oberon…

Karen Valentine said...

Gypsy your studio is fab and it seems... so you! I loved my visit! I just assumed you were in Phoenix but I am sure you are not! What part of Arizona are you in? It's definitely NOT the desert I know! LOL!
Thank you so much for joining the party this year. I know there are many more visitors to come as most people aren't even through with half the list!
Have fun!

This is a fantasy of mine, a separate building for creating. When I'm walking my dog, I'm always "scouting" properties that are large enough to hold one. Your space is so bright and cheerful and full of inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing.

Terri said...

Fantastic studio and such beautiful work too. Love your fur babies. TFS!

donna joy said...

I wish I could crawl right into the computer screen and pet Brownie! We lost both our dogs over the past 5 months and I miss them so much. Your studio looks charming - thank you for inviting us to visit.

Love your little cottage space. I especially am facinated by your necklace pendant--it's gorgeous. I've tried to do a bit of jewelry on my own, but realize that I'll probably have to take a class somewhere to get started. Thanks for sharing your space and photos.

Scrapping With Sherry said...

your post brought back memories... When I first started seriously crafting I made a craft space in our storage and my dogs used to lay outside of the door and wait for me for hours!

I am trying to finish up the list of where bloggers create link party... It is taking me a while. But I am determined. Love to drool over others craft areas... I have only been blogging for about 3 wks but I would be honored if you would stop by for a visit at http://scrappingwithsherry1.blogspot.com Take care~ Sherry
