She’s Like a Mad Scientist

The Chairman's letterhead complete with his photo and pawprint.

Organization Must Be The Magic Formula

Ever since the Kreatrix organized her art lair she's been on a creative bender! Which is good because this is happening:

A brand new soft sculpture cat is featured in a photograph. He is seated with with his back to us and his tail wrapped around. He's made out of a man's charcoal grey tweed suit.

YAY! She won't let me show his face, yet, because he hasn't gone through the initiation. And there's two more underway!!! Eve is helping the Kreatrix with one of them.

Eve, the cute soft sculpture cat doll made out of sixties paisley fabric is doing some hand sewing on a new doll.

We're none quite sure what she's up to here but it seems to make her happy.

A photo of rubber stamp carving tools and some stamps that have been carved.

And this, too. She's got a cool old metal rolodex full of cards she uses to do quick designs that only take about 15 minutes.

Colorful rolodex cards decorated with scraps of paper, sewn threads and drawing.

We wondered why she was hording all the scraps of her designs she printed up when working for clients those-who-shall-not-be-named. I spy a few of them up there! You may remember these rolodex cards from a year ago.

Annnnd then she got all excited when she found this stuffed in a drawer.

Very colorful, large hand painted journal with a ribbon tied around it.

I didn't want to be rude but I asked:

What the heck is that?

She showed me some of the inside parts.

More colorful handpainted pages.

More colorful hand painted pages.

She tells me this is a journal she began making over a year ago.

I had to ask:

Why do you have so many journals you've made with nothing in them? Don't you have anything to say?

Oops.

She just stared at me with her mouth kinda open. I must get to the bottom of this unique twist! I'm on it!!

Stay tuned because there is a whole lot more goin' on here than just the above shenanigans! All will be revealed!

    Wow, Chairman, if I'd know that just cleaning my studio would make me more creative and productive, I'd have done it long ago. There is a path from the door to the fabric closet, and a clearing between stacks on my desk for the computer, but it evidently takes a lot more space than that to come up with "cool" stuff. Got to go find some cleaning stuff, storage boxes, etc..... Oh look I found the rolodex cards!

    Hi Candie! This is the Kreatrix. I caught the Chairman looking up airline flights so he could come help you "do up" your art lair. When he found out high an airplane flies he got a little discouraged. The more I tried to describe to him about an airplane, the more frightened he got. He's resting right now. Besides, he asks a lot of questions. He's very entertaining but the questions are relentless.

    I just called my sewing room my "art lair" to my husband. He said "huh?" LOL. Love all the colorful goodies and I'm glad the Kreatrix is moving forward with more dolls!!

    Organization is indeed the magic formula! Nothing shuts you down faster than not being able to find things. Did you use your sewing machine on some of the rolodex cards? It adds nice texture. I can hardly wait to see the new dolls.

      Hi Teddie! I do indeed use the sewing machine on the rolodex cards. I'm certainly not an expert but it is fun to put on the quilting foot and go for a wild ride across the paper. It's also a fun way to try out some of the decorative stitches that come with the sewing machine.
