  • You Asked To See Where I Create - Art Studio Tour
    A few of you have asked me to do a tour of my art studio. Well, today is the day. I didn't do a major clean up for the tour. I cleaned up my room the same way I would before starting a new project. I didn't even dust for you. lol Enjoy :-)

    First off before I forget your dogs are beautiful. I absolutely adore/love your room. It is so cute the way you fixed it up. There is so much eye candy going on in there. Love all the art either on shelves, walls, dolls, dress forms. Just so freaking gorgeous. TFS the tour. Kiss those beautiful dogs for me.

    Just love a well-loved, well-used, projects en progress, messy with creativity studio! So inspiring to see a “real” studio and not a totally curated, antiseptic, magazine center-fold perfect space. You rock!

    What a cool space❣️. I love the idea of having several work stations like this. But my room is too small & can squeeze in only 2. This is a pretty & colorful “hideout”❣️❣️💚💜💜💚

    Laurie I had lost track of you for quite awhile, but this morning one of your videos popped up on my feed, so I have been watching some of your videos to catch up and see what you have been doing. A also thought of you two days ago when I was collaging the front of a journal and found one of your little paper and button flower embellishments which I put on the cover. It seems I was supposed to “find” you again. I recently had to downsize and move into a much smaller place so had to part with about half of my art room supplies. I sold and gave away boxes and boxes of magazines, books, paper pads, acrylic paints and so much more! My new art room is STILL packed with stuff! This video was fun to watch, to sort of catch up. I LOVE your dog. Anyway, so good to find you again!

      Hiiiiiiiii Karen :-) So nice to see you. I always wonder where people go when I don't see them posting anymore. But in fairness, I was not on YT for two years. I have actually thought of you too. We used to be twins but I think I got old and gray. lol I still have the same email if you ever want to catch up. :-) I hope you enjoy your new place. Thank you for commenting. I'm happy to see you again. :-)

They are so colorful, and I love color. Your dog matches your couch colors, he is so cute, and just so happy to take a rest on the couch. Thank you so much for the studio tour, it was so nice to see, and gives me so much inspiration.

They have a knob to turn the brightness up and down. At full bright they should be running at 35.2 Watts per light fixture. I always run them at full brightness when I am filming.
      Also, I have heard about a Selfie Ring light. I have never used one and I don't know the name brands or anything but they can be used on a tripod stand or a phone holder. That might be something to look into as well.
