the studio work-table

This is the place where half of the work in the studio happens. The other half happens on the floor. I cleaned up my work-table lately (as in this morning) and here it is. The bench is my gramom's old sewing bench. The Zen Clock is used daily to make sure I do my quota of time. This is simply my own need for a bit of structure. I set the alarm for a block of time and once it goes, I have the choice of continuing or stopping. Today I threw down the pencil immediately upon the gong, (Sigh. That kind of day) but a lot of days I just keep on going. Which is really, really nice.

But don't be fooled. It usually looks like this:

In the summertime my studio is more a tray I cart around work on. I go to the front porch or the back garden, depending on where the sun is (or isn't, really.)

But I won't be doing that now until the spring. Looks like those warm days are passing by. there's a chance of a thunderstorm tonight with a low of 38! I love thunderstorms but for some reason associate them only with warm weather.
