Studio Friday – on time – “This Is Me”

Posted on | November 17, 2006 | No Comments

Studio Friday’s Challenge:

“How about photographing a collage of the things we work with? An arranged collection of papers and embellishments, or fabrics and trims, or paints and paintbrushes, or whatever it is we do that says “this is me.” I know we did tools and supplies already, but I thought it would be fun to create a little collage of all the things we use – tools and supplies both, and even other things like a favorite cd, dvd, cup of coffee, nail polish etc that say “this is me and this is what I do”.

Studio Friday asked us to share about things that make us who we are in our studios. From the left going clockwise:

• My backgrounds painted in bright colors.
• An Art Doll I made a few years ago in a class.
• It sits over my shelves and watches over me.
• Background papers handpainted on tissue paper.
• Trillian – the IM chatting program that lets me talk to people and be connected all day.
• My books that are inspiration and reference. Some end up being cut up to use in collage!
• My window to the world that looks out on our big ficus tree in the front yard and the mountain across the street.
• The manequin that reminds me to sketch.
• My stained-with-paint paintbrushes in their dirty paint jar. The jar is an old jar from my mother-in-law’s mother. She got it when she went to the movies years ago. I have a set of these, but this one sits in my studio.
• My Golden Paints. I don’t know how I ever survived without the fluid acrylics!

So there you go. A glimpse of “me” from my studio! It’s constantly changing, so this is the snapshot right now. It will probably change as it always does.
