I snipped several papery dry blooms of hydrangea off the bush at work yesterday. I love these when they are in full bloom and I love them when they dry. I have an idea for these on my dining table.
I also took a few sheets of pattern tissue - got lots of this around - and made a quick tissue flower. This one is a tiny bit too large for my liking but I am happy with how it turned out. I thought they would look great together and I was right.
Thank you all so much for the feed back on the bracelets and the angel. I am on the look out for silverplate and silver spoons and forks. I bought some Saturday for 1.00 each. I have orders locally for 10 bracelets so I will be drilling and polishing these to get the orders out.
I have been finding myself spending a few minutes every morning in the studio. Maybe just long enough for a quick picture for here. Some mornings I piddle and put a few things away. This morning found me pulling out more tissue for these flowers and bits of lace and old book pages for the idea in my brain. I really enjoy those few minutes before I go to my real world job. It sets the tone for knowing that after all is said and done, I can easily slip out there and have some time for me.
Ladies if a studio space is a dream for you, it is well worth the time and effort to make that a reality. My space is not at all fancy. It is not even completely finished. But it is usable and I cannot tell you how validating it is for me to have a dedicated space to work in.
I hope today is a wonderful day for you.
