Visit My Studio
Thanks for stopping by my studio (also called the la-bore-a-tory)! Come on in!
This is my very favorite place and where I go to spend hours designing, creating and in general, making a mess. This is just a little peek into where I work and some of the things around me that keep me inspired.
Buckets o' inspiration come from my two amazing greyhounds Smiley & Peanut
You'll find these two beans in much of my artwork, particularly my quilts.
My actual workspace may be kind of like of work of art in itself-I am constantly changing the layout, installing new cabinets and furniture and adding art to the walls. My big ol' butcherblock table is ground zero and where all creative things start. I've recently adding a permanent photography station in the corner too so that I can photograph and post new pieces much quicker.
My shipping/paperwork/movie-watching station . . . A fun little tidbit on this area-hubby and I scoured the Kraftmaid cabinet outlet for these cabinets and found the large one for just $10! A fancy curtain hides my tools and makes it look purty too.
Tools, tools, tools-a girl's gotta have 'em!
My bench shear and favorite tool-I can slice like a ninja with this baby!
Rollin' with the homies . . . My rolling mill allows me to make neat-o textures and build muscles at the same time!
Letter stamps & lots o'beads . . . staple items in the BWD studio
Bits of inspiration sprinkled here and there . . .
I love to feel inspired by the actual raw materials that I use in my work. Here are chunks of natural sea glass and pebbles found on the nearby shores of Lake Erie . . .
