My grandma always said "Where there's a will, there's a way!", and the fact that you create such marvelous pieces just proves that is true. <br /><br />This new piece is great so far, and I love seeing it progress. I'm trying to learn shadows right now, so watching you do this may help me. I'm also looking forward to seeing how the tyvek gets melted and added to the piece.<br /><br />Hey, if you ever replace that countertop, perhaps there's a way to make a portable "wet station" by putting a piece of it atop a rolling kitchen cart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-24935593376756531882011-03-27T16:53:08.942-04:002011-03-27T16:53:08.942-04:00Its inspiring to see what gorgeous art can come fr...Its inspiring to see what gorgeous art can come from a humble kitchen countertop surrounded by family and dinner preparations. Most of us dream of having a beautiful, spacious studio with floor to ceiling windows and a lovely view.....just goes to show that the studio doesn't make the artist!Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00220665809987670918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-22800570575749933662011-03-27T15:04:30.167-04:002011-03-27T15:04:30.167-04:00I enjoy seeing your progress when you make a new p...I enjoy seeing your progress when you make a new piece. I have an old table in the basement for painting and woodwork, but need a cleaner area for fabric painting. My cutting table is a large dining table that I can clear and use to paint when I need to.<br /><br />DebbieWoolenSailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621977477193550261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-27909162825315154612011-03-27T13:53:31.229-04:002011-03-27T13:53:31.229-04:00All in the middle of everything!

A blogging friend named Nina Paley does something similar and calls it Trapplique because it's a mix of trapunto and applique!<br /><br />I feel your pain on studio limitations. As I warn anyone that comes into my basement studio - it's functional, not pretty. I have plenty of space, but the low ceilings and ugly 1980's paneling will NEVER find their way into a pretty magazine of inspiring studios. <br /><br />Oh well, being in the middle of the kitchen just means your whole family gets to enjoy the process with you!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />LeahLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674869334249298532noreply@blogger.com
