So now that the business side of this whole shebang is relatively squared away, I finally found myself back in the studio tonight! It was so fun being in there with paint all over my hands and new techniques on the canvas.
When I was working with a designer on a blog design (coming!) a while back, I had to go through everything in the studio to pick out my favorite things. It was completely worth it, however, when I opened the doors at the beginning of the weekend, it truly looked like a tornado had come through. I was able to move a few things out of the room, and I could at least walk inside, but the best change I made was taking out all of the printing/scanning equipment. It feels so much more open, and I can’t wait to get some organizational shelving units for all of the ephemera that seems to be growing exponentially!
Speaking of… my mom (and unofficial 23Postcards ephemera buyer) was in Maine last week, and she came home with some amazing finds!
Here’s a sneak peek of the piece I started tonight:
I was also able to finish the ‘Love Story‘ piece that I just hadn’t been able to get a handle on! It had such a promising beginning, but the more I worked on it, the more I was losing direction… So after not looking at it for over a month, I revisited it tonight and finally had a breakthrough! It turned out to be a really special piece, but I’ll go into more details when I show the finished product! I will post pictures of it soon, and look for more listings in the Etsy shop this week!
