Monday Mood Board: Peach, Gold & Teal

Admittedly I was at a bit of a loss for inspiration for Monday's mood board*. I've been trying to give myself a more inspiring space, i.e. I've been tidying/rejigging my room so I can actually think rather than just switch off to ignore the mess. So initially, as I'd resurrected my lava lamp, I considered basing a board on a Bokeh photo of the glitter lava lamp variety, thus explaining the two images at the bottom. The lamp image however looked rubbish in the mix, so I decided on what we have, Peach, Gold and Teal. An odd mix perhaps, but it's actually quite a pretty combination.

You may have noticed these mood board are all rather colour based. I've always been kind of obsessed with colour. Maybe it's the dyslexics hatred of black and white, or the fact that I am drawn to the bright colours, but it's always something my jewellery has lacked. Despite resins and enamels being an option, I've never really embrace my colourful side. So maybe these will give me a little incentive.

I also love the image of Confetti System's studio, the photos I've seen of it - a few I may post once I've lurked around their site a bit - show a really busy, bright and joy filled studio. Which reminds me of uni. Apart from the fact that it's missing the panic, but I'm almost certain it's there. It's the kind of studio I would like to work it, so maybe I need to go into full on window design or making decorations.

Sorry for being a bit lacklustre again, like I said I've been trying to sort my room and the most progress I make, the more mess I'm making. Plus windows and more knitting for more windows. Fun.

*Incidentally, I keep calling them Monday Mood boards even on Tuesday or Wednesday purely so if someone searches for them on here they'll all appear. Also it means that my LinkWithin widget actually groups four of them at the bottom which looks pretty. When I don't add the Monday they don't appear. Which shouldn't bother me but it does a bit.

On the 11th Day of Christmas...

...this blogger gave to thee...
...eleven creative spaces...
...ten words for reading...
...nine balloon dresses...
...eight resolutions
...seven pretty shoesies...
...six party dresses...
...five gold rings!..
...four collared hangers...
...three Mad Men...
...two hedgehog gloves...
...and a house to dunk into your tea.

Thought a few creative spaces might give some inspiration towards 2011's New Years Resolutions. Personally I'm liking lots of blackboards, inspiration washing lines, crate shelves and novel storage solutions such as clogs for knitting needles. But lots of good, inspirational clutter! Never let anyone tell you your work space is a mess, if it works for you, it just does. Though if it's genuinely just a mess, start the New Year properly and give it a tidy. If only to stop the comments!

Wednesday Workspace

Thread Rack and Lace Rack - Northern WallTools and Hanging ArtSecond Shelf from the Top - North WallDesk Closeup

I am such a smittened kitten. I've been lusting over Megan at Crafty Intention's amazing workspace for ages and finally have an excuse to post it! Yay!

Today's blog is inspired by Paper n Stitch's recurring post, Wednesday Workspace, where they showcase artist & designers workspaces and I get pangs of jealousy because of the beautiful interior designs, collections of nonsense and inspiring spaces the participants have. Mostly because while I love my workspace, it's more about the practicality than looking pretty. Black and orange fire retardant polystyrene not being a particularly attractive wall covering. But makes it less likely I'll set my space on fire!

I love Megan's craft room because of the amazing storage system made of tiny kilner jars and thread reels. It's anal as all get out, but in an ideal world, with a big room like that as a workshop, I'd be that obsessively organised...well, at least once a month.
