::temporary workspace::
Greetings from the garden apartment that we are temporarily calling home. As you may or may not know 'garden' is a nicer way to say 'basement' and I must admit it has been a big adjustment for me moving from the gorgeous old victorian to this tiny underground abode
(can you see my x's on the calendar???). But after two full weeks here I am finding my rhythm with the dogs,
the noise, the lack of fresh air and limited light, one drawer kitchen and having to do 5 peeps worth of laundry at the laundrymat AND I decided it's time to stop complaining and start painting. We have one table which serves as the dining, homework, computer, folding and everything table and so I can't really work on that but today I borrowed the small folding table
(shown above) from my old neighbor and dear friend with the goal of getting to back to painting. The lack of ventilation is a concern so I decided I would take our time here in the apartment to work with the
hot box C built for me last year. It works at a much lower temperature than my skillets and with the window open and a fan blowing I think it will be OK. I have been wanting to experiment with creating monoprints on the hotbox and this seems like a golden opportunity. Today I'm off to plant tomato seeds with 60 2nd graders but tomorrow I will set up shop and get started. And speaking of shops...
I am offering 10% off and free shipping thru April 30th in my Etsy shop : )
