Today I'm pleased to share to most lovely space of miss Valerie from Witty Workshop and Rose Flash jewelry. Valerie is a neighbor to the north, from Canada, with an inspiring work space that I hope you all will like! Let's take a look:
What do you create in this space?
I create my art, paintings, drawings and "mignonneries" for my
Witty Workshop and my jewelry line named
Rose Flash. I also do sewn projects and
daydreaming :)
Can you describe what we see in the pics a bit?
My studio is a small room in my apartment, painted in blue. On one
wall I have my working table with a large cutting mat, tons of jars
wich contains my gazillion beads. My chéri (aka husband) made me some
amazing shelves and organizations unit so I can have my colorful jars
and things displayed (he also made me a giant magnetic calendar.)
Above my worktable I have a quote from my all time favorite book, Le
Petit Prince, which is literally translated as: "If
someone loves a flower which is one of a kind in the thousands and
thousands of stars, then it's enough to make him happy when looking at
them."
Behind me, I have my sewing table and a peg-board wall, which is so
practical to store my jewelry and other tools (I have to see my goodies
and tools, or else I forget I have them :). Beside the sewing-table, I
have my Easel (found at a flea market) and a chalkboard painted wall for
me to write thoughts, world domination plans and doodles.
How do you feel in your "handmade space?"
I feel like myself. It's an extension of my art. A place where you can
find such things as a broken clock on the wall, a Spider-plant (I am
arachnophobic), a white plastic dummie with no head (it freaks both
Chéri and my cat Tokyo), a fur hat made by my grand-mother and two
Lomograph cameras. I love my studio, it makes me feel more creative and
overall happy!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful space, Valerie! I'm loving the chalkboard wall and the cool blue color against the light that comes in...so so pretty.
Be sure to sneak a peek at the wonderful and whimsical art and jewelry that Valerie creates here!
