My husband and I recently moved, after 11 + years in one tiny box home [we have been living the “Tiny Home” movement for more than a decade 😉 ] and now I have my own in-home art studio for the first time in over 15 years. I have been making a lot of different projects all different sizes in our tiny home, mostly all on our coffee table in the living room, but now I have 3 different tables to work on and more than enough space for working on several different medias at one time. Here is a brief comparison of both work spaces.
I will continue to share my projects with you all first with the process and then the final pieces. Thank you for visiting my page. Please enjoy & MAKE MAS ARTE (Make More Art) #makemasarte
