Night before last I got a wild hair and dumped my clothes out of my bedroom dresser, put some slider thingys under the corners of it and pushed it down the hall to my art area. I had already pulled all the various art stuff out of the corner behind where I sit and it was scattered all over the living room. I had previously measured to make sure it would fit there, so it worked like a charm. It won't hold everything, that is for sure, but it will hold the majority of my art stuff, so half of it will no longer be spread around in containers on the floor. I've been thinking about doing this for a long time, but I also thought about getting a new dresser that matched better with my bed frame. Unfortunately that hasn't happened yet and I couldn't wait any longer. My art area won my bedroom dresser!
I have a matching chest of drawers that was being used for storage that I emptied in the work room, put the sliders under and pushed it to where the dresser has been. It won't hold all the stuff I had in the dresser, so part of that is still in a tote bag beside the drawers.
That left nothing to put the other stored stuff in except a small, rolling wire cart that had been holding some stuff at my art desk and that will have to do for now. Needless to say, after the domino effect of emptying and moving stuff around, "stuff" chaos is everywhere I turn. Too bad! LOL
Anyway, I'll get the rest of it worked out sooner or later.
I made this wonky art, again on the back of a jumbo playing card. The papers, like always were painted by me. The bird and the egg are out of a bird book I picked up at the library sale and that red ring is out of the bottom of a torn paper lantern. I have had it along with a larger one just like it for a long time and wondered if I would ever use them. I decided to put the ring on before I ever thought about the bird and egg. The ring had some bits of white paper still left on it and I painted it red. Then the blue round part kind of looked like a tree was there, so in flew the bird and the egg. I might need to outline the egg somehow. Not sure.
The Bradford Pear trees out back were snowing today. The last of the blooms are trying to let go as the fresh new leaves take over. I tried to catch a photo of it snowing white petals, but they wouldn't show up on my phone camera. Some DID get caught in a spider web though that I couldn't see till some petals stuck too it. It looks like I caught them midair.... but no.
Stuck in the web....making them look as if time stood still. This evening the light breeze is making them flitter in the window. I wonder if they will still be there in the morning.
"Sealed".... that is the name that came to my mind. Sometimes I get enamored with the painted papers and don't want to cover up all the neat patterns that were created when I painted them. It causes me to want to leave some of them minimal, like this. Busy in pattern, but only a few papers. In this case, only 3 papers as the center strips were just one sheet, cut apart.
I think that is about all the jibber jabber I have for today, except right after I started this and told about shoving the furniture around, I thought I should have a photo of the dresser that is now in my art area.
Art corners rule !
Nice, huh?
I hope you have had a good week. I'm enjoying the thought that it is Friday-Eve already... Yay!
