Oh my goodness, what a great time my open studio was! It was part of a holiday studio tour I did with four other artists this past Sunday. I got a few pictures taken before it started, they aren’t the best, but I thought I’d show you how I turned my living and dining rooms…
It should not be a surprise, but as my business grows, my storage shrinks! I’ve done a series of de-cluttering and clearing out of unneeded supplies, and through the years I’ve narrowed in on how I like to work in my studio, storing items and supplies most often needed in the easy to reach places,…
Hi there! I’m over at Alamodestuff Blog today, with a tutorial on how to make a custom ironing board like the one here: It sits on my custom storage cart…if you want one of those, well there’s a tutorial for that over at Lillyella!
So, although it isn’t always this clean, this is how my desk usually looks: …and…this is how my desk has been looking this week: Yup, my computer woes continue. Now, I’ve been freaked out about this…but not as much as I COULD be. Why? Wonder hubby understands this stuff. He’s built this computer for me…
I got something really awesome in my email in-box Monday afternoon, and it was a total surprise: A final proof of an article I wrote about my studio, to be published in the Summer issue of Cloth, Paper, Scissors Studios. I had submitted a couple of pix and a quick description to them last Fall,…
Motivation has been lacking this week. Faithful readers will know that my university has been going through some tough times. Our president resigned a bit over a week ago, and our previous president (who retired from us 5 years ago) has stepped in as interim. This is hopeful because he’s brought the University through some…
Phew! That holiday weekend just FLEW by…and I was quite the busy bee. I had to do a huge studio tidy up, while I did that i found a UFO that was more finished than I thought! Gotta love that! It’s up on the design wall – it’s a Welcome quilt in the style of…
I took a video of my studio yesterday. Big surprise, I had a lot to say, so the video is split in 2: Here’s a link to a tutorial on how to recover an office chair like mine. Here’s a link to a tutorial on how we built mydouble sewing machine table. For those who…
I spent several hours today meeting with the 3 other members of the operating board for an art show we’re planning for november. We started “Artists for a Cause” about 2 years ago, with the intention of donating 20% of our proceeds to a local Redlands charity each year. Our 1st year we were a…
It’s done! I’m all moved in and it is gorgeous! Yes, I know how lucky I am! Beyond the general de-cluttering, the only real change in here (besides the new floor & baseboards) was swapping out the mirrored sliding closet doors with these simple white curtains I made from some white cotton twill. Our house…
My name is Candy Glendening...and I’m addicted to color! I dye fabric so I can have just the hue & texture I want, and then use it to make art quilts and “everyday art”.
