Life&Studio 360

2012 so far for me has made me feel like an old LP. One of those old albums that spun on the turn-table. Spinning, while allowing really great music to fill the room. It has been so far a year of traveling here and there and having a grand time teaching, sharing and meeting some great people.

This past weekend I finished up and delivered the large commission piece that has been my traveling companion these past few months - then got my taxes done - leaving just enough time to clean the studio and the surrounding digs in time for a magazine photo shoot yesterday. (more on this later on)

The studio is now so clean that I just had to stand in the middle and take a 360 set of photos. As I put things away yesterday I found bits from my teaching gig at Road to California, and the remaining materials from my two-week Hawaiian Cruise.

As all these things got set straight my mind wandered onto 'what's next' and of all the bigger picture life lessons I have picked up along the way. There is a time for enjoying the beginnings and the ends of all things, a time for clearing the decks and a time for messing everything up. With my one remaining trip this month -- this time I'm off to Mountain Home, AR, my plan is to have a wonderful time messing up the studio!!!!!

Would love to see the fourth wall. are you hiding something good there?

Rose Hughes said...

Hi RoseMary - nothing hiding there, for there is no wall... it's an open plan and is really where my dining room starts. Good Catch! thanks for checking it out and commenting.

Well maybe, but I don't see hide nor whisker of Mr. Edgar so you cannot possibly be finished!

Chris said...

Awesome job, Rose! I need to do the very same thing...

Rose Hughes said...

It looks great! Good thing you took photos, it won't last long (if you're like me!).

Oh it looks like a wonderful space to be creative in!

It's a thing of beauty, Rose! I don't remember the red tool box. Is that new?

Rose Hughes said...

you'll probably all be glad to know that the space is now no longer clean..new work has commenced. the red box has been around over a year now and was rescued from a hair salon remodel.
