My work space
I'm lucky to have a guest bedroom I can use as a permanent work space. It's really pretty, too, with terrific indirect light, so in and of itself, it's kinda an inspiration to get working. Since I'm not able to share pictures of most of my recent teddy bear work -- and I miss sharing them so much! -- I thought I'd share some photos of my work space instead. Be sure to click on the photos for a closer, larger view.
Here's where the magic happens, whether teddy bear, art card, or other. It's not a huge amount of actual table top to work on, but it's enough for my needs. It's great to have this huge IKEA desk and hutch with so much storage space, because I rarely have to get up to get supplies since they're literally an arm's reach away.
Behind me is my supply wall, where you can see the awesome ribbon rack my dad custom made just for me and my available space; my rubber stamps, ink, and scrapbook supplies; my Xyron cartridges; and a stack of fabrics I can choose from to use for footpads. To the far right of the photo, below, you can see the door to the closet where I take all my bear photos. It's outfitted with about 15 flourescent bulbs, permanently mounted to the sidewalls and ceiling.
I get to work in a light-filled space and my cats are frequent visitors. When my parents or friends visit, this is their bed. Unfortunately most of the storage areas are stuffed to the gills with my art stuff, but at least it's a very comfortable queen sized bed!
Isn't IKEA stuff the greatest? Amazing, space-saving inventions at a fraction of the cost of anything else..and they work too. Have not bought anything there for years...but lately... plenty!
great space Shelli... and the bed within such easy lurching distance too, if one were to have a "nap-attack!

Loved seeing your workspace! It's so much fun to visit eachother.. even if it's just a "virtual visit" :)
