potential

a month ago, i lost a studio.
sadly, we all had to move out from there.
it was indeed a pity thing. i looked for a new studio...but got no luck.
so, i started to think i may not need a studio for now....may be not necessary to make things for a while.

then, here it came! J passed me a free studio info.i went to see the place today. it was an ideal place!!there are still many other people coming to see the place, and the owner will pick one to share the studio. hopefully, she will take me in. let's see....

new studio

moved into a new studio!

sharing with other friendly artists.

right in the center.

how nice!

moving back to Kellari

as my life style changed, it has been a bit difficult to travel to my studio in the countryside.

i loved to be there and i enjoied being there. but it is time to move on.

today, i and V were there to clean up and bring my belongings out from there.

V said "this's so nice place!!" yes, i know, it is a wonderful place!

it is indeed pity to leave off from here.

only distance was not suitable for me, now.

i said many good byes and thanks to the building when we drove off there.

it was a special place with many many memories.

my working place is now back in "kellari" where i used to do my glass works.

a year ago, it was not too fun to work alone at Kellari.

but now my situation is so much different from then. so i am not feeling bitter about coming back here.

more like feeling positive about this change.

new change and new start for me.

apple trees

our apple trees in our studio yard got apples! they ripened and are ready to eat.
great thing, great thing.

we are thinking about making an apple picking party, a few weeks later.
who would like to come?
gonna be fun!

B.D party @ studio

i had my "pre-birthday party" at my studio. my real B.D is actually coming this week.
as i am expecting to go to other friend's B.D party this weekend, i held my B.D party a week earlier.

yes, my age is not what it says on the cake. it was baked by my friend S, she is a kind girl who made me some(?) years younger. how sweet of fer.

the party went fine.
nothing like a big party, but a small cosy party i wanted to have.
so i did not invite many people. just some friends who i consider as close friends and who i really want to know more were invited.
after all, there were 10 grown-up (includes me) and 2 babys ( 0 & 1 year old! young!)
started from 12:00 and end 18:00. so little one managed to join the party.
ice hockey match finland vs sweden was the night before my party. so people staied up late night and came to the party with hangover(?). we staretd off with drinking tea and very end of the part, we opened 2 bottles of bubbly wine. how modest and healty party......

thanks for my friends who came all the way to my countryside studio.
it was so sweet party! after the party, i went to bed with a feeling of love and happy.
thanks for my friends!

flowers

our studio yard is now filled with flowers!
the top pictire from the window right next to my working table.
following two pictures were taken from the side of the building.
sweet smell is all around our yard!

spring came!

this week has been so beautiful spring weather. finally and truly, spring came!
i waited for it for a long time. it is really high time to have this weather here!

because of this weather, i am often just looking outside through our studio windows and enjoying the sunshine and spring smells.
plus, very often having a tea break by the window.
i became such a slow worker.

many and many blue flowers everwhere around our studio yard, smells sweet all over the back yard. great spot to be.

i made small flowers. they go well with the weather!!

on a sunny day

there are windows next to and in front of my working table.

often there is a sunny spot on my tabel, and sun light makes glass look even more gorgeous.

my friend J told me that after seeing my studio in my blog, he started to imagine himself in this place. he has not yet been here, but just traveling his mind to here.

yes, this studio is such a place that fills people's imagination.

here are more photos!

we have a play ground in front.

a view from my working table.

from our room, there is a door to our back yard.

picture was taken from the back yard. our working room is just go up some flights of stairs.

we would spend more time in the back yard in summer.

i can not wait!

new starts

finally, i moved to the new studio.
today was a wonderful weather. it was really a perfect day to move into a new studio.



we got a beautiful old fireplace with ceramics tiles.



from now on, i am going to make things from here.
very exciting.

an ideal studio

Even though I have a studio very nearby my home, I have been looking for another studio.
Having a studio next to the home can be an ideal. But for me, I totally became “stop-at-studio.” This is a comfortable life style, but can be dull life. That how I feel and have started to find a new studio somewhere else.

A few days ago, I met a friend from Uni. She mentioned her studio in a beautiful wooden house in Espoo. The wooden house used to be an art school, but it moved and it became empty. Now she and her friend rent together the part of the first floor; 2 rooms with a kitchen.

Today, I went to visit her wonderful studio.

Her studio is a real ideal place.
It is the beautiful wooden house with neat garden and the studio space got many windows!
Really a nice place!
Started to dream about me working in this studio with friends….

Great thing is that she suggested me to join in her studio.
Yes! Yes!! Great!

well, one thing that I must consider is that it locates a bit far from where I live.
I am very obsessed by the idea of working in the beautiful wooden house studio. But better to chill out and think twice!

Let’s see if I take this wonderful studio or not.
