Lost & Found Studio

Friday recapped!

We are still feelin like rock stars here!

 

Welcome to past Fridays self portrait. Are we the only ones who think self portraits are fun? Taking pics of yourself can be such a hard thing if you haven't been in front of a camera for a while. This one was taken to mark our new 3 day work week. Still a shock to us too...but to work we go~!

One of the bag commissions we had is done and will be delivered Wednesday.

Bag front and back

Then we powered through and finished these 4x4's for the order from Vibe.

We have had that creative mojo really flowing! My only regret is that I am going to be even busier trying to make myself doubles of these for my own wall...I am sooooo loving some of the color combinations not to mention the freedom we have had experimenting with different mediums!

Can hardly wait for the paint to dry on what we worked on today!

10 second tidy..

Is your creative space like mine? Every surface covered, 2 or 3 projects on the go and all not quite done?

When I go down to the studio I wonder how I ever managed to teach my children how to do the 10 second tidy as I certainly can't seem to manage it as an adult. Even with the assistance of a labeller , a type A studio partner not to mention my Windex wielding daughter...it is a mess...

Today I went through chipboard. I had...4 bins..... probably all told about 15-25 lbs worth GASP! It also took me nearly 2 hours. Is this procrastinating? Are you saying I should have at least put in a load of laundry before I ran my fingers through all that pressed paper...perhaps...sigh.

Looking for organizing  studio Ideas! What works best for you? Do you have to go back and re-do, re-sort like I do every once in a while? Get back to me..I'm curious...

Happy Thursday!

Rockin the Studio!

After a terrible couple of weeks in each of our homes..days that can only be described as pure shit...Days where, if you can believe it, found us each in different hospital Emergency rooms. Days that went long and hard and didn't seem to end.

All I can say now is WOW and double WOW!  We are rockin! We had some super news that pretty much proved to be the turn around for us. Some super fine ladies,  ( and I do mean "fine" in that I'm a white girl tryin to be a bad ass ...kind of way)  anyway..some fabo ladies from all the way up in Fort St. John got an eye full  of our work just before Summers start. A couple of weeks ago they contacted us and before you knew it we were doing coffee and talking shop. 

Short version...Lost & Found Studio has gone retail!  These fab ladies own a Home decor store that just seems to be made in heaven for us. You can find us now at :

Vibe by Home Pro’s
9629 – 100th Avenue 250-785-6882

Fort St. John BC.

It all happened so fast! We arrived with arm loads of canvas and left empty handed and with an order for more. Our heads were definitely spinning.

Monday morning brought us back to reality and we put our heads down and got straight to work. Sometimes it just takes someone (someone you are not related to..) to tell you they like what you do.

What wonderful positive reinforcement. Thank you Kim and Stacey!

We are so rockin the studio!

Time keeps on tickin... tickin ..tickin..

Holy Crap have we been busy! Where did fall go? Wasn't that my last post...OMG! there is a threat of snow coming our way  next week. Is it really that time already?

 

 

Sometime during  the past 2  weeks, Nadia and I went to the Creative Stitches show here in Edmonton..where we made bracelets....Sew? ha! don't make me laugh!

 

 

It was totally a nice break from the creative sweat shop we were in.

Yes, that's right...it was that time of year again..Our big card order came in and we went into mass production for a week. 110 cards done and DONE!

The best and worst part of my last 2 weeks? My Halloween ATC's ...

Apparently I missed the memo as our Calligraphy Society is no longer doing a swap...gee..just when I decide to take part again...I came home with all I took minus the one Nadia took cause she felt sorry for me...sigh.. c'est la vie...

At the moment we are knee deep in consignments..yes you heard me right..If you want a one of a kind piece of Lost & Found art feel free to contact us and we may be able to help you out. Currently we are doing tote bags and 12x12 canvas's for what I assume are to be Christmas gifts. WOW! Again with the winter ....

Looking for Mr. Rogers..

Ok maybe we were just looking for the last signs of Summer but found mostly Fall.  Great time of year to look at color and walk around the neighborhood.  Morgan and I took advantage of the quiet and went on a nice 1 1/2 hour stroll through the neighborhood tonight.

We really do live in a beautiful city.

Even worse... I will have a hard time moving away one day from our block. So much is always going on.

This week we have had beautiful weather and it seems everyone is taking advantage of it.

We happened on the Juventis cycling team practicing turns and hills. Next week our Veledrome and City is hosting some of the biggest off track and road races  to be ever held in Canada. How cool that it is all happening in my front yard!

And then there were just the interesting sights we found along the way...

 

A really nice evening spent with my favorite guy.
