Studio Chaos







What a chaotic mess..
my studio is..
at the present moment..





Old papers and documents purchased recently need to find the drawer marked, Antiques...





but 
Chaos 
was the goddess of creation..
and that is what is taking place in my studio at the moment..

the problem is,

it is taking up every flat working surface ..
and then some..

which generally means the floor..




Some fresh vinca's brighten the clutter..







part of the process of being a mixed media artist is
to peruse all the possibilities ..
so I am endlessly dragging out every piece of ..












lace,
fabric,
paper,
ephemera,



Stitches on fabric..



and trying to decide where each thing wants to live..
listening for a confirmation..

the chaos feels overwhelming to me,
and I fight back by putting a project in a zip bag and clearing a table..

just so I can breathe..

and 
perhaps sit and gaze out at the distant sea...




Caterina Giglio, August Journal Pages, in Progress.."Her soft eyes were fixed on the distant sea.."


So, I am

Off to clear that table..

and play with some transfer methods
for you 
gentle readers..

see you on Friday, dear hearts..


Ciao, ciao!
