Actually I’m looking forward to packing up the Christmas wrap, which has taken over the cutting table in my studio, and getting back to work. I have several projects that need re-acting, finishing up and/or discarding. How do you get back in the art mode after life has usurped your time and space? Clean and organize your space? Finish up those UFO’s? By Melisse Laing on December 20, 2013. Posted in Nonseries Work. I know exactly how you fee...
