I've been doing a lot of impromptu photoshoots. I tend to enjoy doing these as it encourages me to pay attention to the beauty of where I am. I notice beautiful things right outside my front door which I may have otherwise missed. (Like how cute our welcome mat is.)
(A selection of sculptures from Guy Laramee's recent body of work, "Guan Yin".)
A dear friend of mine shared these incredible book sculptures by Guy Laramee with me. I'm so enamored with the technique and creativity of this artist. The most amazing part is how truly realistic and life-like these artworks are.
The concept of "Guan Yin" is perplexing and moving, I highly recommend reading the statement. Where Guy Laramee summarizes the project as being, "dedicated to the mysterious forces thanks to which we can traverse ordeals."
My studio is an open space right next to Daniel's studio, with a small garden area in the back. All of the tables and the clothing rack were handmade by me and Daniel. The two large island tables come together to made a table top that is 8 feet by 4 feet. Hidden behind the black and white ruffled curtains that I created, there is a second level to the table where I store most of my materials.
From this studio, I create everything. Paintings, blog content, DIY tutorials, brainstorm sessions, sewing projects. I like to consider it my headquarters.
