Why I Spend So Much Time Outside

This is the most beautiful time of year and I love be outside. Now that does make it hard to keep up with the glass and such, but this is the time when my soul is recharging from the long cold winters.

My house is on the other side of the studio.


Oh, and these are the colors I finally chose for the studio paint.



With the new Fusion Studios and the chance to lock in the $12.00 a month for life, there are good reasons to check out Artfire. I won't tell you it's perfect, but I can tell you that they are working hard to create a place to call home for us artists as well as an exciting shopping experience for our customers. I've been seeing exciting things happening with the Fusion Studios. From live streaming to widgets to Etsy minis to Facebook, the studios are becoming so unique. Go visit a few random shops, or if you've worked on your shop let me know in the comments so I can go see what you've done...

New Studio Looks

I have a cool studio to work in, but let's be honest. It started life as a building that did nothing but collect all the junk that didn't have any other place to go. When it became apparent that glass was going to be permanent part of our life, the building began it's transformation and it's still changing. I've gotten the primer on the outside and once the rain stops will be adding the topcoat. I still have a lot of inside work to do as well, but it's getting there.

And along with the glass studio getting a facelift, Artfire is also rolling out the Fusion Studios. I've only begun to scratch the surface with what I can do with my Artfire shop, but I'm having fun so far. I love that I will be able to add a gallery there. You know that I am more into pictures than words so this is exciting for me. And I'm sure that over the next few weeks, my Artfire studio will be undergoing many changes as I explore the possibilities of what I can do to make it a reflection of me.
