My studio is my haven that I dream about all day when I am at work. While in my studio, it takes me a million miles away, to a wonderful creative world. I went from having no creative space pretty much, to my husband having a studio built in our backyard just for me. With increased space, my supplies increased, funny how that happens. I feel like I am forever reorganizing and trying to find the next best storage for my stash.
I take lots of classes, go to events and seem to always be involved in some sort of swap of some kind. I started a long time ago as a tole painter, t-shirt painter, scrapbooker and now altered artist. My favorite medium these days is making jewelry.
I want to thank Karen Valentine for letting participate again this year!
I hope you enjoy some of these shots of my studio and I thank you for stopping by. Terry
Maxie, Studio Pup!

darling space! love the use of black. I have question, near the super-cool window seat (and storage!), there's a wooden blocky thing to the left. What is it?

Your space is sparkling and filled with goodies; great use of space as well. Just beautiful!

What a beautiful space no wonder you think about it while at work. Love that your dog is in there with you. My dogs hang out with me in the Shiva Shop but I didn't have any good pics of them. Guess there is alway next year.

I would love a space like yours - I put a note on my wish list for one.
What is that hanging in background of pic 8 the 'wall hanging'? I love it.
