Ellen Lindner: Art & Creativity

For my art reception, I needed to use my studio as display space.  Plus, I wanted to show my visitors a little about my process.

Wow, what a job!  Here’s the view of my studio after moving most of the stuff under the two tables.  You know:  light box, framed art, shipping boxes, portable ironing surface, video lights, tripod, and I forget what else.

As you can see, there’s still quite a bit of work to be done.

After also removing an ironing board, large table, and three rolling drawers sets, there was a LOT more room!  I added a few quilts to the design walls, an in-progress piece,some inspiration fabrics, and the room was finally ready.

Where did all that stuff go?  Into my son’s bedroom, of course!   He’s away at college, so I took over.  Perhaps you can tell that the piles go beyond his bed, all the way to the window.  The dinning room chairs ended up in here, too.

Of course, I left the ironing board accessible.  A quilter’s gotta have that, right?

I was surprised by how much time and effort all of this took.  But, I didn’t mind, because I was so thrilled by the reception idea.  A great “little” project for me!

You know, my son’s coming home for Thanksgiving.  I think I’d better get busy.
