"Where bloggers create", Welcome!!!

Welcome, welcome, welcome, I am so thrilled to be able to participate in the 3rd annual blog party.  I really  enjoyed reading about the last two events and was so pumped to be able to join in.
I just want to take a minute to introduce myself.

I am a self taught mix media artist, yes I said "Artist".  That is so cool to me to be able to call myself an artist.  It took all of my nerve to do so in the beginning. But after all the support and friendships built through blogging, I can proudly make the claim with confidence now.  And even more importantly I can call so many of you amazingly talented bloggers friends as well.  I am blow away everyday by the talent that surrounds me and how willingly you share your dreams and adventures of what creating means to you.
 

You can always find me with my nose in one of my favorite publications.  I just can't seem to get enough creativity to satisfy my hungry artful soul.  This is me and camping at its finest!!!


I spend as much time as possible in my studio, it's the most affordable form of therapy that I know.  I've always made it my goal to be able to be honest with myself in my studio to know my truth and to live it.  It's where I can be brave and try new things, there are no failures only creative attempts some grander than others.
Please come on in and take a peek, and I'll give you the grand tour.

I first started out with a table, a light and a small organizer in a small corner of a small bedroom.
But soon I found that I needed a little more space and a little more organization.  So with some sweet talking I got a new desk with a shelf and built in light.

As you all may know and understand when it comes to creative space there is no such thing as to much.  So remember that spare bedroom we talked about, well it is now my studio and I needed another desk(more sweet talking).  And then I needed some more storage for all that fabric and paint,  and of course new curtains.
So I did it I set up my dream studio complete with sewing space and painting space, storage and lots of stuff that makes me happy.

 from here I added some chalk board paint to  the cabinet and jazzed up the boring light

I then pulled out some old napkins that I had bought at an estate sale years ago and made myself some lovely curtains out of them.

Then a few nic-nacs a little art work.

Well there you have it my little piece of heaven.  Your welcome to drop by anytime, maybe we can work on something together, hope to see you soon.

Happy Creating!!

Debbie
