Confession: I have issues with decorating. I’m unable to commit, I don’t like putting holes in the walls (what if I change my mind?!), plus I seldom buy regular-sized or shaped art and am too cheap for custom framing. So I am very proud of this tiny step forward:
The single decorated corner of my studio, The Bird Corner, filled with my avian treasures: bird tags by Susie Ghahremani (collected over at least 4 years), a beautiful parasol bird by Becky and a lovely nest painting from Lavish (it was a gift and I’m sorry to say I don’t remember the name of the artist)*Update! Thanks to the lovely Molly, I can tell you that the artist is Bishop Lennon. Go to her website, her work is FABULOUS. Oh, and the bird ornament I made from the pattern in Last Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts, which is not going to live in the corner but is just visiting for now. I made the display on the right using a blank 8×8 canvas, nails, and the coolest pewter branch hanger from Rare Device, to which I wired the parasol bird. I should, perhaps, have painted the canvas a color, and I may yet, so if you have any suggestions let me know (I’m thinking pale aqua or turquoise).
I’m not done with the decorating by any stretch of the imagination. I have two sweet Jen Corace prints, some wonderful works of art from Abigail of Theo Design, and a few neat Black Apple prints, all waiting patiently for frames and a little bit of courage on my part. But that may have to wait until the holiday rush is over. I only stopped sewing gifts to decorate because I ran out of stuffing and haven’t gotten more yet!
