For Fliss, for Frances, for you.

Sometime ago I was tagged by both Fliss (udder) and Frances (wishthimble) to show my workspace and reveal six things of a random nature about myself.

Here at last, for you and everyone else who reads this, are both.

My workspace – ready to begin.
Here is where I often sit to work. I also work a great deal on the floor and in my lounge room whilst a dvd or cd quietly plays. Mostly I work here, especially when gluing pieces. This is what it looks like before I begin. It does not look anything like this at the end of the night.

I have yet to put on my glasses and touch my coffee, and you can see various artworks from friends. I will be sitting here just as soon as I post this.

Six pretty random things.

1. One of the first things I see upon waking is a handsome polar bear with a bouquet of green-blue blooms in hand.

2. I dream in colour… full, saturated technicolour. And sometimes my dreams feature credits like those you catch at the end of a film. I can’t make out the text, but I know that is what it is meant to be.

3. I have amassed a collection of birds that will not fly away, though they may break. I am still looking to add to my collection.

4. I enjoy forming small, silly, secret and fun crushes on people I don’t know.

5. This is what I looked like in 1996. I am with Nutters, my big red tom, and I have cut my hair from long to short.

6. There aren’t too many people I have actually met who read my blog (so far as I know).

Many of you have already participated in these two tags, for those who have not and would like to play along, please do. I’d love to see your workspace or to read six random titbits. I am ever curious and I hope you'll play along. Let me know if you do.

Here’s to a sparkling and brilliant week, one and all.

I love to see other people workingspaces and your looks so clear and organized, with so many interesting things!

Love seeing your workspace, you are so organised! All that cutting looks like a lot of work, but fun? Adore your collection of birds, will keep an eye out for more. Take care (heart your short hair look).

hey G,
Thanks for playing along and sharing your space. Glad to know it doesnt look as neat as that by the end of the night!!!
Love the look of all those cut outs piled upon one another.
You too, have a sparkling and brilliant week.

I don't think I have ever seen a workplace more like it's owner - lovely!

happy working to you, Gracia

Nice place to work on! I love the papercuts ready on top of the table... ;)

i'm loving number 2 ... and i bet your dream color is more saturated, than life. And i bet all those birds could tell you a story of traveling, and you could relay it to us so that it took our breath away, just looking at the dream you make to show us!

love your work table, the bear and the birds!
you were brave to cut you hair so short! i like it!
somebody else tagged me for this too, i will let you know when i post it.

Dear Nutmeg... he would have loved pushing all those birds over in the middle of the night to get your attention....
