Along with wondering what she created in her special space, it got me thinking about the differences between her workspace and my own modern version. So, I thought I'd share some quick snapshots of my area created in a walk-in-closet...yes, losing space for clothes, shoes, and purses was hard to do, lol!

My chair swivels between my jewelry workbench and my sewing/painting area. I do my soldering and patina work outside as there is no ventilation in this room (safety first, always!) I store my sterling silver, copper, brass, and gold filled wire and metal sheet in my bench drawers. The pegboard is great for keeping my tools handy. I use the shelves above the closet poles to store some other supplies.
Okay, the secret is out, I have spilled a teeny bit around the corner into the next room with this Chinese cabinet that has a few more tiny bits and pieces:)
I store my serger on a shelf and use the folding table between the jewelry bench and my
The picture on the bulletin board is a working copy of a Red-shouldered Hawk that I was fortunate to capture a picture of when he landed on the edge of the spillover from our backyard spa into the pool. I'm working on a large watercolor that I hope to finish this month. I'm more proficient with oils and acrylics - watercolour is not my medium - but I'm enjoying it very much!
I needed a bit more space to store my sewing supplies, so this little area where I enter the closet is useful.
By the way, the photographs on the walls are mine, and I enjoy changing them out by the season to pretend I am outside. The wall hanging in this corner is hand quilted by me with lovely gold thread, and I painted the small framed watercolor on the stand.
And this my laptop computer, which is old as the hills and takes forever to start up, but it is very handy for keeping track of my projects and for playing music while I work. It's also great for learning new techniques - it's amazing what you can learn on YouTube!
Best wishes,
Alison

I LOVE seeing other's work spaces/offices. That chinese cabinet is so adorable, wish I had one of those! Thanks for sharing!
Your workspace is so clean! Looks like everything is in place and ready to go.
Great workspace! I also had to clean my space for pictures..LOL
Love this...do you sell your paintings and jewelry on Etsy too? I always enjoy seeing fellow artists "of all trades" making it happen!
Alison, what a great work area. I previously only knew of your photography, how wonderful to find you are so multitalented. Thanks for sharing a little of yourself with us.
Peace, Judi
