WHERE BLOGGERS CREATE

I would like to share with you where I do most of my creating and also share with you my very latest creation. First I must thank Karen from http://mydesertcottage.blogspot.com/ for hosting this blog party, "Where Bloggers Create" and add that I can't wait to visit where others create as well. I truly planned to get my space organized but while down in my space I chose to create something instead, that happens alot to me!!! I create in our basement area. We turned two bedrooms into one very large closet and one office. This is my office space, I have things spread out in this area. This is where alot of my paper ephemera STuff is.... This ara is the very large closet I spoke about. My hubby made shelves that go along each wall in the room. The boxes you see are mostly gallon water jug boxes. I like the narrow shape to them and I can line them right up and fill them with all my goodies.

This is more shelving...more Stuff.

This is just more boxes.

This area is the livingroom area, this is actually a bar that I work on. I love the heigth, I prefer to stand when creating and the bar is just perfect. You can see my tea cup there, I am never without my tea while creating. (good thing I don't drink what's behind the bar, I would never get anything done)

I hope you enjoyed my creative area. I will be moving out of the livingroom area soon. As soon as we have our town wide yard sale (after cleaning out our closet room) I will be moving everything into that one area. Hubby will have to build me a bar heigth work station though. He can then have back his man room after 4 years.

This is my very latest creation (remember I didn't get my space straightened around for the blog party, I made something instead)

This is a collage made from a hard book cover so it can stand up alone. This lovely measures a large 11 1/2" x 17".

I covered the inside of the book cover with a file folder grunged with inks. You will find some of the following; a picture, torn material, coffee stained antique doily, coffee stained organiza bag with a tag of roses made from a vintage greeting card with glitter in the bag. The organiza bag is tied with stain dyed vintage lace. Cardstock checkered paper, pieces of brown paperbags, dictionary page, cutouts of flowers, bird and a cutout of antique advertisments from a vintage book, paper doily, finally more vintage lace and the frame of an antique photo card.

This collage I have named "THE COURAGE TO LOVE AGAIN"

I look forward to making more of these collaged stand alone hard book covers.

I thank you for stopping by to have a look at where I love to create. And I do LOve to create. I can't wait to visit other creative spaces.
