ma vie trouvée

sneak peak at the art room

 

The decorating of the art room is slowing coming along.  Each time I carve out time to sort....I end up playing instead.  I thought maybe if I shared a photo - it would force me to finish it.  Absolute deadline....THIS THURSDAY! 

 

 

Love the hot pink - it is so bright and happy.  I thought all pink walls might be too much, so I just painted a wide border at the top.  When I look at photos of studios in magazines and on-line - I love the all cream/white vintage ones.  But when I have the chance to do this and I always pick a bright color.....chartreuse in Brussels now pink in Singapore.  Guess I am just a color junkie!

 

Where Bloggers Create 2011!

 

Thanks for visiting my blog and studio!

Bonjour to those who have visited before and welcome to those stopping by for the first time - I am very happy to meet you and thrilled that you came for a visit!  I live in Brussels, Belgium and love to create.......mixed media, collages, photography, altered photos, cards, jewelry, blogs...  I also love to shop, especially at flea markets!  My blog is about my life in Brussels - shopping, traveling, eating, and most of all creating!

 

My Studio

 

Not much has changed in my studio since the last blog party, click here for the grand tour from last year, but I wanted to participate again as last year was so much fun and I met so many new blog friends!  

 

 

My studio space lately has been my desktop and my computer, so I dressed it up for the party, bought some flowers, and thought I would share what I have been working on {and no it never is THIS neat!}

 

 

What I am reading

I love all of the Stampington publications and wish I could subscribe to all of them.  Of course Somerset Studio is my favorite!

 

 

 I am very fortunate that my husband travels a lot for his job and I get to tag along everywhere he goes.  So far this year, we have visited Bangkok Thailand, Cambodia, Istanbul Turkey, Berlin and Hamburg Germany and we just got home from two weeks of wandering the country-side of Romania (post not ready yet).  Wow, what a fun country Romania is to visit.  You can read about our adventures on our travel blog:  Donald and Cathy's European Adventure. 

 

The past two-months I have been learning PSE via the internet from Kim Klassen's Cafe.  I am super addicted to it!  With all our travels I have some pretty cool photos to work with.  Below are a few samples of what I have been working on.  You can see more altered photos if you read further into my blog.

  

   

 

 

Here is the link to last year's party where I give a full tour of my studio:

Thanks so much for stopping by....I love when people leave me notes.  This way, I can visit your blog too.

And a big thanks to Karen over at my desert cottage who sponsored this event.  If you go to her blog you can find the links of many talented artists and vist their studios.  Cheers and Happy blog-hopping!
