Studio close up
Sometimes my studio drives me nuts. When the wind blows, it gets terribly dusty, and on a hot day it’s like a broiler in here. The sportscar rental place downstairs makes a huge noise with their revving engines, and I often wish for a neat, clean, quiet space to work in. But as Autumn approaches and the weather is gentler, I realise how lucky we are to have this amazing central city space. That’s what I think just before it gets freezing cold and starts to leak in Winter 🙂

Sounds exactly like my home/studio in Vredehoek. I’ve renamed the city bowl the ‘city wok’, because we fry in the heatwaves! 🙂

I love your site and your thoughts about your studio, and the frustrations you experience. I have a wonderful printing studio on my farm in the Magaliesberg, although I can’t say it is neat, but I really struggle with the isolation of living away from the resources in a city. Anyhow, Skinny Laminx, you are an inspiration to me who still has a long way to go (in the real world) with my printing. Jude

Maybe it just sounds awesome in theory – but having had bitter cold winter for what feels like half a year – I’d take a sweaty dusty loud studio in the city over my isolated suburban office – anyway! Maybe I should move to South Africa:)
Love the sample swatch! Beautiful colours together.

Come to South Africa! It’s great here, and we could use more people (the good crazy kind) like you here too 🙂

Your studio looks so fun and creative! I love the macrame plant holders, I found an knit magazine from the 70’s that shows a lot of macrame, I may have to start practicing, as you have inspired me!
Cheers,

So pleased you enjoyed your visit. Take a look at my macrame hanging garden tutorial at http://thinkteam.co.za/skinnylaminx/category/tutorial/ if you feel like making a plant holder yourself. It’s ridiculously easy.
