No, I didn’t win the lottery, but I sure struck the jackpot when I met R over two decades ago. Over the last two weeks, I reorganized my studio in the cabin’s loft, but on this trip, she created me a SECOND art space in the tiny purple house by clearing out the mud room (which had begun to look like an audition for a hoarder TV show with paddle board, dive gear, gold clubs, skis, and then basic mudroom stuff like tools and coats and storage stuff. Now I have a workspace for my messy batiking, and she repurposed an old crock pot for melting wax. And if that wasn’t enough, she redid the green house plastic, and even got up early before her flight to finish it this morning. It’s too late in the season to start anything, but I’m ready to go in 2019, and in the meantime, the house looks so much nicer when I drive up, sans shredded plastic. In celebration, I spent the afternoon playing around with an old onion, a round gel plate, and some cheap paints, rubber stamps, and homemade stencils. I made a whole lot of nothing, but it was great fun and Iearned a lot about onions as stamps. #makestuffeveryday #art4alibaba #artspace #20yranniversary #truelove #germansaregoodorganizers #everyoneneedssometeutonicthinking (at The Raven House) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnXSuDmn3qI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ff0xi7av43ve
