This week’s theme is “dream” and I’ve been dreaming of something cool, green & shady. This picture of Oak Creek was textured with “dream”, multiply 63%; then “canvasbackmagic”, difference 88%; then a touch of Rhonna Farrer’s “swirled corners”.
Splash, splash, happy Tuesday!
Thank you, Karen of My Desert Cottage for hosting this fun party!
Hi, I’m Brownie and my mom wants me to welcome you to her doghouse – uh, studio. So step right up because…
Thru the door…
The work bench is on the left, kiln and storage on the right. I’ve covered the shelves of plastic boxes with fabric.
The back window.
The beading and jewelry workbench at the back…
A ruby slipper souvenir from my last trip to Oz and vintage beads in glass tubes.
The front workbench – the elephant is a light…
Original artwork by Patrick Lincoln called “The Ghosts of Hamburgers Past”…
Rocks to remind me of my values…
My sewing machine – I’ve been cleaning the studio and putting away messy stuff like paint so I can bring out my old friend here and start working with fabric…
The fabric (some of it) lives in this old suitcase and I use the cosmetic case for thread.
Some of the storage…
Contains goodies…
Fun stuff…
And Victorian style ornaments made by my mother.
On top of the main shelves are the studio witches because every crafter needs some magic!
And my box with mission statements – very important.
Some of what I make…
Necklaces and earrings…
Thank you for stopping by!
No, this isn’t a picture of my studio! I’m afraid I’m running late and the studio posting should be up tomorrow, Friday, by noon Arizona time. I’ll see you then!
Pink is a tough challenge. I have lots of orange and red, even though I love pink I have very little. So, when in need of pink – who better to answer the call than Barbie? Diwali Barbie lives in my studio and is happy to pose for a photo. The first layer was de-saturated, the second layer is “canvasbackmagic” soft light 95%, removed from the face, the third layer is “canvasback” multiply 23%, removed from the face, the fourth layer is “aurora” multiply 96%, including the face.
Namaste and Happy Tuesday!
This picture was for Texture Tuesday, which I missed. The theme was “three” so there are three dried seed pods of the red yucca – one of my favorite plants and these are the green pods…
and the plant…
A bit scraggly but charming! When we water, the birds stop by for a bath and a drink and they love the seeds from the open pods so I don’t trim it. Any plant that’s so happy in Arizona’s freezing winters and record heat deserves appreciation.
