my creative space . production

there was a bit of a production line happening in my space this morning as i finally got 20 large sheets of paper cut into pieces. it got tricky on the 2nd lot as i realised that my beautiful hot pressed cotton paper sheets from france were actually big parallelograms rather than rectangles! a little wrangling with the long metal ruler and the cutting mat required to get some straight lines to work from . . .
i started on some drawings ~ i thought i'd do some lights on paper . . .
and, the most ambitious idea: i'm going to make a calendar for 2010 with these small collages! {i know most people who are doing calendars already have them done, but it seems that i want to go full steam ahead a little late anyway!} i hope to have the collage parts finished tomorrow and to work on the clean up and layout over the next week.

i hope you've had a lovely time in your creative space today! pop into kootoyoo for more spaces or to show yours :)

my creative space . collage

i've been so busy lately with computer work {and self-imposed deadlines} that it's been fun today to start on some other work.
i have 2 kind of lists happening: to-do lists and want-to-do lists.
something on my to-do list: cut my huge pile of paper {i buy it in large sheets} into workable sized pieces and store them safely in my new paper drawers. here is a start on that job!
something on my want-to-do list: make collages! i have some ideas floating around in my head for a couple of weeks and this is a little start at getting them out there.

i hope you are enjoying your creative space today! visit kootoyoo for more spaces or to play along.

* i passed my hazard discovering computer test this morning {not so creative i know, but the first part of getting my Ps for driving the car that sits out the front of our house during the week!}
