So, today I thought I'd show you my office area - the place I'm usually found when not busily making items.
It's just a little desk sandwiched between two large bookshelves overflowing with books (my first and other love). My poor desk is in desperate need of refinishing since it's older than I am and is one of the few cherished possessions I nabbed away from my parents when I first left home. It's quite literally been with me forever and even though it's small and damaged and old-fashioned and totally impractical, I can't imagine parting with it.
My favorite part of my "office" is my artwork.
I have a mad fascination with pulp cover art and mid-century romance comics so I simply framed up some of my favorite postcards. They tie-in the books that surround my desk and add color to the plain wall. Cheap and easy! I often absent-mindedly stare at them as I work and I always find myself inspired by their style and bold colors.
The latest addition to my area is the little hand drawn piece that sits on my desk.
It's a piece by Mike White that The Doomed got for me at the Miami Comic Con a couple months ago. I thinks it's ADORABLE and it always makes me smile. You can check out more of Mike's great comics at amityblamity.blogspot.com.
I hope you enjoyed this little departure from crafting and already have more posts planned for other topics. For now, though, time for me to get back to the crafting!

Nice collection! Love the wall color too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah! That paint color was a bit of a battle with The Doomed ("It's too bright!") but I'm glad I won out. :)
ReplyDeletei LOVE this blog. I too had been debating whether to add more personal moments to my blog and finding that balance makes the blog a lot more enjoyable to write. I also have a crafting table that my parents gave me. It's long , thin and not enough space but I love it. Thanks for sharing your space. I have a blog spot lighting creative spaces. Check it out sometime.
ReplyDeleteRight? It's hard coming up with nothing but crafty subjects to discuss! I mean, I obviously spend a lot of my time crafting, but it's not ALL I do. Or enjoy. So I'm glad this post is getting positive feedback - means I can keep doing them!
ReplyDeleteThank so much for commenting and I'll definitely be checking your blog out soon!
