Studio Table Vignette


Sometimes it’s fun to have a few favorite things out on the studio table. I have a little shelf clustered with such treasures – an old beaded lampshade that will someday be an art doll, an old metal tree, a fossil shark’s tooth, rocks and geodes, beach glass, pebbles and shells, birds nests rescued from downed trees and bushes, paper wasp nests (don’t ask!), buttons, feathers and the loveliest bronze baby shoe with the most beautiful patina… colors and textures that inspire me.

What better way to tap into creative inspiration than to surround yourself with favorite things? Many of the items you show and list would quickly become favorites of mine, as well --- I really love your idea of using the beaded lamp shade for the base of an art doll --- Can't wait to see what she looks like!.... Thanks for sharing --- Miki
