If you don’t already know, I am really bad at regularly posting on social media and on my website. But I am going to try a new routine and see if I can be a little bit better. Maybe I should start smaller, but I have tried that route and it has gotten me nothing but procrastination. So I am trying something a little different we will see if I can make it stick.

Last week the stress of everything had me avoiding my studio. I have a number of projects underway and none of them felt right. So I decided to do some design work instead… because I just needed more projects on my bench, NOT. But my energy seemed to match the mood of designing and I did the layouts for a few pieces.

I thought I would show you a pic of what my bench looks like when I am in the middle of designing, yep it is usually a disaster area, but there is some organization in the chaos.

Now a few pieces are beginning to come of the bench. I tried to start simple to get myself back into the process. Here is what has emerged.

Here are a few of the pieces that are coming off the bench from the last design round. Like I said I started with the simplier designs to get me back in the flow.
