Holly DeWolf, Illustrator Hamilton,Ontario, Canada http://www.sweethappy.ca http://creativeblend.blogspot.com So this is the creative centre of my world. As you can see I have a lot of stuff in my studio. It least it's all organized. The other part of this space is full of toys, Reagen's masterpiece easel and exersise equipment which I sadly cannot use too often lately due to being 6 months pregnant. It is a well used room to say the least. There is alot of room for mess and for the dog to warm my feet under my desk. Beside my desk is a red fire place. It is quite a cozy space especially during the winter months. This set up works well for me. As you can see I have many shelves mostly to help keep all the dangerous goodies out of Reagen's quick reach. She is a crafty one so it is best to keep those x-acto knives up high! The above photos are from a photography project at art school. You can see some of my favourite toys like my trusty light table, lots of paint, my cool lamp and my old I-Mac which is the main work horse in the studio. The powerbook is upstairs most of the time. We have this house wired! So as you can see I have many books and magazines. I have officially put myself on probation from amazon.ca because this is only small portion of what I have. It is also where I keep most of my collectibles like the antique viewmasters, antique jewel radio, antique buttons and notions and antique books. In front is Reagen's radio flyer tricycle and on the wall is Todd's favourite Roy Lichenstein print. I also have a sewing centre set up which I do not use too often. As you can see we like colour in the studio-mostly a lot of red. My bulletin board is a big space for little tid bits of inspiration and keepsakes. There are many pictures of my little boogaloo. You can see Edward Gorey's print of The Mikado, postcards from a Keith Haring show at The Art Gallery of Ontario and my nose whistle. A girl has to entertain herslf during those creative blocks somehow! My favourite things are my tiny, tiny "punk" pin, my fortune telling fish and my Superman stamp. I am never bored in this space ever! Thanks for the invite Linzie. This is quite a fun blog. Cheers!
