My Studio
The last several months have been devoted to getting the studio in shape. It is in a very glamorous space...my basement.
The first thing we did was put in a lot of lighting. Then we painted and waterproofed the walls, for that I got lot’s of help, as you can see on this post over at “To Live A Creative Life”. For several weeks I devoted my time to painting and decorating the walls, that I face when I am at my work table.
Then Ken laid a floor down for me with peel and stick tiles...this is a basement remember :)
I have a separate room for my supplies, it used to be a bedroom. We have another bedroom down there that is going to be my Library. There is even a bathroom down there that comes in very handy. A couple of teenage girls had their bedrooms down there, before we lived here.
I have all I need, in my new studio, to be comfortable while I create my Art.
Here are some photos. The room looks a lot better than my photos...but you get the idea :)
“Let The Magic Begin”, this is a saying that Marilyn Radzat has in her studio, I love having this saying on my wall...reminds me of many magical times I have had through my art.
“Here There Be Art ---------> And A Dragon” my attempt at humor. I need humor in my Life and Art.
Between the two walls.
My sewing area.

A window, through which I see the seasons change.

Mo'a, you are just unreal. I, the philistine of all men am really learning to appreciate art through you. The walls are great. Only you could blend a gothic european church with South Beach.
Rachael: I am loving my studio more every day...It has been great fun to create with abandon :)
Judia: Welcome :) A wonderful description...I am loving my new space.
Doug: *smile*.....and an apt description it is.
I am happy to do what I can to promote art...you are a good student, however, I suspect you are flatering this humble artist.
Really, Mo'a, there's little else to do with humble artists.
I have seen all this with my own eyes and it is a wonderful place. You feel teh magic being stirred up as soon as you enter teh basement. Moa is just as amazing in real life as her art suggests. You truly are inspiring!

Doug: Touche ;>
Minka: Your visit to my studio was a pleasure beyond words. Thank you for your lovely compliments :)
I love your space! It seems very big! I adore quiet creative spaces, all to myself...xxo,Vanessa
Wow! What a beautiful, spacious area! And so colorful! You are going to be even MORE productive and creative there! LOVE your 'sayings!'
Mo'a, is there anything you don't do beautifully? Love your pictures as I wind my way through your studio. Your art is wonderful - I live my own unartful life through people like you.
Vanessa: Yes it is a very large space...It is great to be able to have work zones and all the supplies in a different room :) I love working in my studio..."A room of my own"
Kai: Thank you :) I love color and here I can use it with abandon...you are right I already feel more creative.
Terri: You are so kind...I show only my successful achivements not my failures ;>
I am happy to share my art...I feel that everyone expresses their art in their way...your art is seeing the beauty and sharing it with us on your blog...I admire that :)
Congratulations, Amma!
Thanks Doug :)
Congratulations Amma Mo'a! All the best to you and the family and the beautiful new baby. xox
And I stopped in and peaked at your studio several times - I must have been too busy reminiscing to comment apprently. It's a wonderful place to create I am sure as I know it was magical to visit. Night.
G: Thank you, we are so excited...we already have photos from Denmark...he is beautiful...perfect :)
It was so lovely to be able to show you the studio when you visited...come back soon xox
Mo'a your studio is wonderful! All the colors and patterns- what a terrific place for you to create your magic. My poor studio won't get decorated for some time- after all the rest of the house is done-ugh! I have come to the conclusion that no one over the age of 50 should buy a house that needs to be renovated inside and out! Ha! What in the world were we thinking?
Peace-
Linda
Well Mo'a your studio is as beautiful and creative as you and your art..what a wonderful place to be..I know many wonderful pieces of fine art will emerge from that space.

Linda: Thank you Linda...I love it. When we had lived here 3 1/2 years I started working on the studio...I have had good lights down there but everything was gray...needed color :)
Bonnie: Thank you for the compliments.....it is so much fun working and creating in my new studio :)
I did say somethimg some time ago- you beautiful faces, your seet bag, your great working room and big too- but it probably has gotten lost.. Yes and I was fazsinated by the wool shop, good there is no such one near me, I would flip out. There are -as I feel- nice pictures from our portugal holiday on my blog if you´d like to look. Time is gettin nearer that you visit Iceland, wasn´t it in May? Looking forward. Mom
WOW!! I love your studio. The art work on the walls are spectacular. Wanna come and create on my studio walls?? :-) What a great studio to create in. Love all the colors you used. It's so nice to have a studio with lots of light. I love my new studio and I'm sure you do yours. Happy Creating.
Love & Hugs
Fran
Congratulations Mo'a!!! What a beautiful space you've created that reflects you! Enjoy, create, and be happy in your nest within the earth and foundation of your home!
Biene: Yes, I will be in Iceland in the middle of May, and then to Denmark to meet my new Grandson :) I hope to see you in Iceland for that coffee we talked about some time ago.
Fran: I would love to come and play with the walls in your studio...yes light and color is the answer for me...I look forward to working in my studio every day.
Lea: What a wonderful way to describe it..."my nest within the earth and foundation of my home"
I love that, thank you I am going to write that on my wall :)
Hey Mo'al your art is as beauitful as your studio page. Congrats being such a fantastic all the time. I want to have a similar artwork on my site application development web Still Kudoos for your performance; wish you continue the brilliance in future too.....
