Emerging Architectures

[avad]

I'm working on my art- stressing because I haven't nearly finished the pieces I'm showing next week! (But what else is new- I do this last minute thing every time).
B's working late so I'm taking my dinner break with the computer- munching on thrown together pasta, sauteed mushrooms and sauce with a few chunks of mozzarella on top. Not bad. Not GOOD...but I'm not in cooking mode...just taking a short break.
Spent a good portion of the day crouch-crawling around my lawn picking up sticks. The whole lawn was littered with them from wind and trees and now that it's spring I finally got around to it. Must've looked pretty funny...but it made more sense than bending constantly. It became a smooth fast movement...I felt like a crab or insect-robot. sendao, I tried to take a picture for you of my extra full wheelbarrow-stick-nest...but it was already too dark- I'll take one tomorrow in the sun.:)
In the meantime, here's a pic of the studio with works in progress...



Still lots to go...that's just underpainting...I'll be adding sand and making the nails stand out more (all those black areas are nails. It'll be called Emerging Architectures...I'll talk more about it when it's actually done. I measured and miter-sawed the frame wood...have to stain it tomorrow and make frames for the small pieces.
Ok, that's the end of my pasta...back to work.

oh man...i am so jealous of all that space you have to work in...i've got things hanging on my wall in a little bedroom with low ceilings...i'm sleeping on the floor...gotta cluttered desk and i'm using an ironing board for a work bench.

i would love to have an entire apartment complex to myself...filled with studios...and i'd have a different project going on in each one.

if i strike it rich...or if someone gives me a building...i will do that...and let people walk through from room to room...each room being a different experience.hmm. that sounds like fun.

oh I know. Believe me, this is the Most space I ever had to work in- and it is great because I can work on a few things at a time and spread them out- never could do that before. Only downside is that it's a basement- so I dont get much light or air. But I bit the bullet and invested in those lights you see and stuck a few large white foam sheets against the walls to reflect and brighten it up a bit. works pretty well. Since I still prefer to be upstairs (in the daylight)a lot too, I tend to work all over the house- I've cluttered up the kitchen table with my stuff and the living room too.hehe.
Different rooms would be cool- you would be able to see the different projects freshly.

OOO I can't wait to see your final products! I LOVE your studio by the way. Mine is good for what I am into right now but I think of harsh chemicals and flinging paint and this sin't the best space for it. GO GIRL!

hehe... it looks like those little paint bottles are attentively listening to the mighty wisdom of the brush Bucket ;o)

you are so observant- jeesh. Guess I can't pretend anymore to be the one making the art- you found out how things really work in the studio. Yep, Brush bucket is the chief...he amazes me with how organized and efficient he is.. and it's a really good team he's got this time...a couple of newbies..but I think they'll work out. They do most of the work while I'm sleeping...then I help out during the day if they need big things moved around.

You know, if Mr. Goodwrench was a tool, he'd be a miter saw. *giggles* I love that guy... anyway, enough tanject. I want a closer view of that thing you're working on! *impatient*

The nest was lovely, too. :)
