A Clean Slate

I love my print table cloth. I finally got everything put away from my print table and my ironing/design table today. I washed the coverings. As I was putting this back on the print table, it made me smile. I had to take a photo.

I have been creatively frozen, and I know it was because of the mess in  my studio. I went down early this morning and went to work. It did not take that long once I got going. While I was cleaning, I was also grabbing fabrics for the sage/blue/brown colorplay challenge. I thought I would need to go shopping for some fabric. Instead, I carefully went through my stash.

I added these to my pile of fabrics.

These colors definitely say landscape to me so that is my plan. Tonight, I mocked up a possible scene. I think it is going to work.

And, yes, that messy studio was holding me back. I wish I could be more organized as I work, but then, I wouldn’t be me.

    A clean slate helps me too. I have been knee deep in fabrics for several months now and it was getting to me. I got to a point today where I could put some away and I made a big step forward in what i was working on.

    I like your sage/blue/brown fabrics — there certainly looks like there’s plenty to work with. I look forward to seeing your and Françoise’s landscapes!

    Yummy fabrics! Love the browns you picked. I need to make a start too.

    Really like the fabrics you’ve picked. Yes, putting away stuff is a good way to start and paint clothes are definitely smile worthy.
