When Ronette had her new weaving studio built, the walls were creamy and bare and it drove her mad; she had to hang colorful things, textile and otherwise, to inspire her to weave. Me, I can't weave if I'm visually distracted, and I dream of a "blank" weaving space, with only my current project information on hand visible. I feel pretty much the same about my design space, though there, I can train myself to ignore the same-old, same-old decorations, of which I have some/lots.
Which type are you?
My studio has super slanty walls and lots of windows.....so I only have a small ceramic clock on the wall. But I have lots of creative yarn-y "mess" strewn about.
ReplyDeleteSo maybe I'm neither type!

Well, Sue, if you have that choice, that is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI cover every inch of space with my stuff, trying for only beautiful, but often ending up with piles of not beautiful. My walls are covered with pictures, I can't live without lots of colour. If I see a blank space I compulsively fill it. Oh dear!
ReplyDeleteBut in a similar camp with Ronette. See, I can't even arrange a whole bunch of pictures on a given space nicely - they're all lined up in an orderly manner and very dull looking. Which is pretty much how I plant things, so it looks terrible when one in a row of equidistantly-spaced (???) dies.
ReplyDeleteI find the difference in preference in this respect terribly interesting.
