{ Studio Friday }

The topic for this Friday: "I love to discover new artists and often find them through other peoples mentions of them. So, introduce us, in words and/or pictures, to an artist, craftsperson, or writer you admire and that we might not have heard of before (i.e. not a famous one). What do you like about their work? How does it inspire your own work?"

This is a tough one.... :) so many things inspire me! A few of my favorites:

* the image is found - I never tire of looking at the photography on this site. Gorgeous and fun photos...

* Compendium, Inc. - not a artist or a writer but I love the stuff they have here. Lots of inspiration...

* Etsy - I LOVE browsing here!

{ Studio Friday }


This week's topic is:
Inspiring Dream Studio ...
We get to see these wonderful studios, - how about not showing our own, but choose among the great studios we know about now? Tell us a little about why you like this studio, what you would like to do if you could work there for a day as it was your own, and, - if it is so, - you have learned from this studio/ artist?

I ran across this lovely looking balcony while in Rome this past summer. I immediately thought to myself "I would love to have a studio behind those shutters!" So in my dreams, this is what my studio would look like! :)
