Working Nocturnally


My Studio by Night
I work many weeknights after my kids go to bed around 9pm. I generally try to be in by 11pm so that I am not overtired in the morning. Even though my studio offers tons of natural light by day, by night I have to rely on daylight bulbs. Although I really enjoy my Saturday and Sunday morning collage sessions, I don't have a problem working nocturnally. I find that at night, things can be more quiet. There are less distractions, the dogs sleep by my feet, and I do get much accomplished in a shorter amount of time. (look close, you can see the dogs in the window!)

Last night I created a nest collage, and I wondered why I had not thought if it before! After all, the nest goes hand in hand with the birds. Anyone who has purchased a small bird collage from me should consider the nest as a companion piece!

  1. And in keeping with your colorful new website you might just have to paint your studio... perhaps a bright orange or even Robin's egg blue. I love this little place of yours, all self contained and just big enough. It must feel so good to walk into this space!
