Who moved the bed?

Look at all those toys.  No, they are not mine.  It's  Carol's studio.

 “You used the saw?” 

See, the trouble with spreading your wings and trying new things is where you land.   I flew off the artist world landed on the writing world and now he knows too.

I don’t think it ever occurred to my husband to ask where all those supplies that now occupy more than my fair share of our loft keep coming from.  It never occurred to him that organizing meant he would find out things he hadn’t bothered to want to know.  It never occurred to him to ask where those fresh cuts on my brush handles came from either.  But now he knows.   He just thought that organizing was a good thing.   It’s a seasonal thing for many, but for me, it’s an ongoing thing, like a symptom or maybe even a syndrome.  He claims his first clue to this syndrome of mine was when he got lost on his way back to bed in the middle of the night after I moved the furniture around again.  He just can’t ever be sure what I will do next.

Where does Carol get her ideas?

In between dreams, I find some sort of creative way of seeing the world and making it a better place in my head.  I can’t wait ‘til morning so I can try out my new idea. 

One of the most organized persons in the art world that I know is our calligraphy teacher, Carol.   She is the most prepared and organized teacher that I have had the privilege of learning from.  You need something, she has it and you want it.  You just know that if you had "that", you, too, could letter like she does.  All this time, these past thirty plus years dabbling in the art world, my husband thought I owned every paint, stamp, nib, ruler, marker, pen, and ink in every color available to man and woman, but he was wrong.  I don't.  Carol does.  Her organized studio is eye candy for the artist.  

Carol's eye candy

Her personal tip for the day:  I suppose is to put it back where you got it from.

Quote for the day: 

 “Because of my willingness to play on the surface, the work underneath can then take place.”
