Art Therapy

I usually start off the day with a hot cup of black coffee. Today however, I had a craving for some tea. A special home blend of herbs ( cloves and pinch of cinnamon along with some ginseng.) I found it very soothing., and a great way to wake up and get into the day.

This week I've got a couple back to back sessions at CSPACE. I'll be modelling this evening as well as the following evening. I love these classes as they are always filled with passionate artists and creative people. Many of the artists who attend use different mediums and everybody works to their preference.

I tend to go a few minutes early to these sessions, mostly because I like to be organized but also because it is a huge space and I like to make sure I have time to get ready and also spare a few minutes for social conversation pre-class.

At the house, Albert gets bigger every day and so does the garden. I've recently put holes in the ground to support my DIY archway in the backyard. I love the thematic area I've begun to create and I hope/anticipate it will be a great place for shooting. The space/set up has brought me much inspiration and ideas for upcoming work. The space also inspires me on the design side. I've picked up that fantasy feeling I had originally begun designing in. I'm working with mixed fabrics to create flowing, light, airy, fairy, fantasy dresses. I've got 1 completely finished and a few more on the go. I look forward to continuing with this theme throughout the summer.

The arch is far from finished, it is merely finally standing in it's place with a beautiful bird bath as part of the scenery. I plan to build on the top and sides, and potentially cover it in dried flowers at appropriate times.
