Controlled Creative Chaos

To the unknowing eye...my studio can appear to be a chaotic mess.   It's how I function while I create.  How does this look with that? Will this glue hold metal to glass?  Piles of rejected pieces of art...can they be combined to make something else?  I'm always thinking about new creations and dream about them, too.

My studio is my haven.  It's where I go when I need to decompress, relax, play and yes, sometimes cry.
It's my space.  My little nook where I make the ideas in my head and heart come alive.

I enjoy when my clients come in and dig through my desk, jars and buckets  and I hear them "ohh and ahhh"...and begin to create for themselves something that I can put together for them.  "I'm not at all creative" some will say...and I sit back and smile as they start to move broken piece of vintage jewelry around on papers and glass...seeing if this goes with that...I smile knowing that in all of us is a little chaotic creativity and in the middle of the chaos, for me at least, is a sense of peace.
