News from the Studio
Some News from the Studio ...
However, when I can no longer find room on the work table to design a piece I know its time to tidy up, clean off the work space and get organized. This happens before each major design session. All the loose material gets put back into its spot; usually one of the many little yellow boxes tightly lined up on my tables. Well, some of the boxes are little, then there is medium and then some big ones. I have two 6' tables filled with these boxes and I am running out of room. The yellow boxes have taken over and seem to be multiplying on their own.
Then there is the huge collection of beads I have amassed over the years that is no longer accessible in my studio, the cases are stacked on wire shelves and then a table is in front of the shelves. Photos, drawings and other inspirations are pinned to a cork board and are no longer decipherable. Supplies, files and displays are neatly shoved into the closet and are almost dangerous to retrieve!
Jessica, who does all my photography, is stuffed into a little corner of her office with all the light boxes, lighting and tripods ... and somehow still manages to get great shots!
I have come to the conclusion that yes, it is time to move the studio!
And the daunting task of finding the right space loomed in front of me ... I was not looking forward to it.
You know how sometimes things happen perfectly, almost just to prove you wrong? I always chuckle when the universe plays with me like that, like a teasing older sibling. I may get annoyed with the teasing but pleased with the outcome! We looked for 1 day and looked at 2 spaces. I think the first place we looked at existed only to show us how lucky we were to see the 2nd place! Space number 2 was perfect! Individual rooms so we can separate activities; one room for stones cutting and all the messy work, another room for the beads and the jewelers bench and then a room just for designing and photography. There is even a space for all that pesky paperwork and computer stuff!
We will have an entire wall to organize jewelry displays and boxes! And there is even a little front room for the showcases. It is a wonderful set up and we cant wait to move!
So, if you try to call me over the next 2 weeks and I seem a bit distracted, it is because we are moving the studio into the perfect space and I am still chuckling with the universe!
