This makes me laugh!

My Future House: Part 4

This one is all about an art studio. I love to paint, draw with all kinds of media, work with clay, and do all kinds of stuff. I want one big art studio that I can go to just to work on this stuff. It's really hard to do any type of art when you do not have good space, both referring to the amount of space and the things surrounding you.

The most important thing I would want is big windows. Something that will allow me to get amazing natural light, a steady breeze, and great visual stimulation. I need whatever I'm working on to face the windows too. Looking outside, into the sky or the landscape, allows my mind to wander and daydream. This is where my inspiration comes from. I would also have a little speaker system set up next to me for my ipod, since I have different playlists for different mindsets. (I should do a post of all my different playlists. Haha.)

Of course, organization is a big thing. I want my studio to have all the things I love in it, so trying to keep everything separated and orderly would be a challenge, but I don't think I'd have a problem with it. I love the picture above, that looks like a giant beehive. I think I could do that with pencils, paints, and things that won't be horrible if it falls over. But things like charcoal or crafty pieces would need to be in labeled boxes. (I say this cause I love keeping art stuff organized. My room is a different story.)

I love the picture above. The big open, empty space looks perfect for a studio. I could get a ladder and hang paintings above everything. There is also good space for all the sections I would want, as stated earlier. One area would have my easel, music, and a chair and little table in the corner of the windows. One area would have all my painting things, another with all my drawing and sketching things. I would need a couch or comfy chair, obviously, since I would spend all my time in there! Another section for crafty things. (These would be wood crafts, stenciling, and stuff like that.) I'd need to get a pottery wheel! I took a pottery class and absolutely loved it! It was challenging while being fun at the same time, which I loved. I would want a good place to store my photography things, and to work on framing and stuff. I don't know if I would want a section for scrap-booking, but I think I would if I had some space.

I know this is what my studio would end up looking like. HA! (See above.) The shelves, while organized for me, looks disorderly and like a giant heap of growling madness. Inspiration all over the room! I especially love the... mummy?... in the corner there. Haha. I could even make little shoe-box dioramas for each major thing I'm working on. Then I could keep them on shelves up high and look to them for ideas and inspiration when I needed to.

Okay.. I think I need to stop talking about this. Clearly, it's something I think about a lot. I think this may be the longest posting I've ever done.

The Inspiration Files

How gorgeous is this photo? I want to just sit on that bench and write. or draw, or sit in my own mind and think of all the things that could happen in such a magical place. I could write the most incredible 'RomCom' if I could sit in this ... what do you call this anyway? A enchanting tunnel of pollen magic? Haha. Tunnel of cascading flowers maybe? All I know is, I want to be there.

Places to Visit: Australia

Ah, Australia. Let's just start with the beaches, shall we? Now, I'm not the biggest fan of laying on beaches, but when you have water that blue and clear, and skies that bright and warm, and miles of empty sand to build sandcastles in... well... I'm game. I mean sure, they have a species of octopus that is super small and super poisonous. I'll wear those dorky water shoes that make my feet blush from embarrassment. Also a great place to test out some scuba skills... if I had any. But if I were going there I get some dammit! I would love to swim with sharks, and maybe even whales.
Also, Australia has over 500 national parks! Do you know how many animals and fucking TREES are there?!?! So many to climb! I can be like a wild monkey and swim from those glorious vines of safety net. HA!
Of course, as the picture shows, the famous Opera House. Surfer's Paradise. Dreamworld. Sea World. Warner Bros Movie World..... ZOMG my brain just exploded into clouds of ecstasy....

Places to Visit: Alaska

I would love to go on an cruise to Alaska! I mean... gosh. Have you ever just Googled pictures of Alaska? I would love to take a drive through that visual orgasm. Not to mention the Northern Lights. I read somewhere that Alaska has a hotel made entirely of ice, with a ceiling you can see the sky through just to watch the Northern Lights. The most beautiful display of nature, in the sky! I can't stand how awesome that is. Also.. the animals! Oh my gosh. I would die of too much awesome if I could see a Blue Whale jump out of the water, or a fucking narwhal! I don't even care that is basically so cold it freezes your brain cells. I'll wear layers.
