Old and New II

I'm finally in the new studio!  Such a busy few weeks of moving and Open Studios and a workshop and orders to send out, all mixed in with the usual stuff that life throws at you!  So here it is:

Behind the dividing cube unit is the headquarters of David Hallows Illustration.  I did suggest that the greenhouse was a nice light studio space but he didn't go for it.  Ho hum.

I need to get started on new work.  I have more ideas than I know what to do with, partly due to too many hours on pinterest!!  I think having a new studio is like having a new sketchbook....the first thing I create in there is doomed to failure.  

I have no more obligations this year and so will be disappearing for a creative hibernation.  I CAN'T WAIT! 

Left or Right?

Left or Right?

I've been having a delightful weekend.  You know that question, 'Which famous people would you have at your dream dinner party?'.  Well, for me it would have to include Monty Don and Ken Robinson.  I'm so glad to have Monty back on Gardeners' World.  With his inspiration, I've been out there digging, pruning and redesigning the garden.  The delights of my lie in this morning were heightened by listening to educationalist Ken Robinson talking to Fee Glover on Saturday Live.  This man speaks nothing but sense on the subjects of education and creativity and I find him so inspiring to listen to.

The 'Left or Right?' reference may only be understood by those who have seen The Social Network.  Watching that this week made me realise just how recent are the social changes to the way we communicate.  I'm really looking forward to my workshop tomorrow and sharing my creativity and inspirations face to face!

ps.  I've discovered pinterest, and have added a pinboard for people I'd invite to my fantasy dinner party.   Who would you invite to yours?
