It’s taking me longer to get the gardens done around this vintage 1950s camper which will be one of the three spaces for the visitors at the art retreat. After buying dreaming tree farms in 2018 I’ve done a lot Repairs , and gradually working on decorating and lining up all the workshops

I re-cycled flour sacks and seed & feed bags, 4 new pillows for the camper couch art space. The others are for the camper bed! There is a bunch behind that are there for the summer porch! Used vintage handkerchiefs to creat the butterfly & dragonfly was fabric sample book from interior design book.

There are 4 sections in my Art Studio room. 1- Painting area! 2- writing/ muse area! 3- Office computer/scanner/printer & supplies! 4- card making station W/supplies. I have a very relaxing writing area, surrounded by art books, it's a small cozy space. My vision board is there along with favorite quotes. A 1920's old radio I have built shelves in to keep yarn.

I guess by now you can see why I chose the "The Creative Wanderer!" In this small writing space I have my collection of art books on every subject for this art studio. Of course the weave & sewing studio have there own book shelf. The top of shelf has some very old books i value for the paper inside a great source for card making. The other side of this book shelf faces my computer desk / office planing zone. So the back of the shelf is a chalk board I write my ever changing list.

There are 4 sections in my Art Studio room. 1- Painting area! 2- writing/ muse area! 3- Office computer/scanner/printer & supplies! 4- card making area with two shelves of supplies. The writing are will get used more in winter, it has a hippy chaise lounge surrounded by panda's. The 1920's radio I took out the speakers, tubes and replaced with shelves. I have a supply of yarns for making panda hats!

Made from corrugated cardboard then layers of mixed media, wallpaper and various other scraps of paper. My original artwork and then rivets added to the top so I can string them all together and hang them like a banner.

I made this 5 piece banner for my sun porch. I loved the art work in “Where the Crawdads Sing” the porch is like mine! My summer porch is full of nest, feathers, stones from all over the country and treasures, so many treasures.

Will hang these on my porch! Inspired by the movie “Where the Crawdads Sing” i have this wonderful 85’ long sleeping porch, with my collection of rocks, nest, feathers, & books. Right on a creek with a 500 year old Mountain Swamp Chestnut oak, thst i have named Julia #juliabutterflyhill

The front of the camper will be a queen bed with a view of the mountains. Small kitchen with refrigerator and stove eating area will be at the couch or on the deck at the front of the camper, surrounded by gardens of big trees and pussy willows and a small chicken house at the back.

When I bought the property the sign was knocked down and found in the woods! Power washed it and fixed the main sign area then added my words! Ready to go! Will add a seperate sign for Artist Retreat! I do grow vegies to sell, and have 8 chickens as well! Micro farm, built in 1756! Really!

I live in a 1756 log house, added on in the late 1800's then again in the 1920's this 85 foot porch, later in the 50's they screened in the whole porch and at this end they added louvered windows. I have 8 areas on this long porch. #1. My morning area for breakfast or sitting, its close to the creek so you can hear the water falls. There is a rocker and old kitchen cabinet with flour ben.

#6. Cafe' table for 3, nice view of creek and Mountain Chestnut Oak 400-500 year old tree on property!

I found these old 1950’s suit case and make up case, plus a Sassaby make up case from the 80’s. Depending on the projects I very the contents for traveling. The make up box I filled up with ephemera, folded paper, decorative string, torn fabric, a box of beads, wire lace, & tools. The brown case full of assorted paper, glue, scissors, rivets & a couple tools.

Fine arts area is where you can usually find me! I have an alter area set up next to my desk, I espically like the waterfall and salt lamp! In the background is my rock collection from around the world.

I do a little bit of everything at the space. I design paper tags for clothing, also use fabric tags sewn into the clothing. I have polymer clay to make jewelry pieces, all kinds of ephemera and beads in .... glass- wood- fiber- metal beads- charms- dangles. An assortment of attachments & chains- string - silk, a treasure trove of used materials, much of which was donated to me from little ladies that came to the salon!

My red chair is so fun and functional. Under counter storage of assorted fabrics. In the moment the T.V. tray is for paint for a project.

Hope to be done with all projects by spring so I can start workshops in weaving!

I did have my studio down near the creek which was really lovely but I found out that it does flood periodically so I decided to move my looms to higher ground and make this just a workshop building for classes and guest artist. The cedar cabin at the top of the hill is in a lovely grove of cedar trees and has a very cozy Airbnb feel to it! Will be perfect for guests to come and sleep it’s right in the studio. You don’t see the neighbors from here to see their horses or occasional sheep!

I bought these two used foot stools. they will sit at the back of the loom for when you string the loom up through the headddles to be a little more comfortable sitting. I added a cushion using a discarded fabric sample book from an interior design store, i patch worked dragonflies on the fabric then covered the cushion.
