Little Black Desk

My mini studio is literally situated behind the curtains of the second hand bookshop I run together with my boyfriend. It's really small, crammed with books and with a poor light, is true that I would have loved at least a window but still I am having a good time here, the space where I create.
In one corner I have my black desk, when I am not sewing here is where I spend my time, drawing and studying.

This picture was taken before the redecoration of my walls.


This is how I work: messy sketches and messy thoughts.




These are the boxes in which my work travels from home to my studio and vice versa and also my curent work in progress.



I use only two sccissors, lots of sewing thread, lots of tiny paper patterns and of course a big bunch of felt.



The wall in front of me is an inspirational corner, you can see here my first sneak peek girl drawing, it was supposed to be much bigger.




In the end, I used the initial drawing and made myself a big stuffed pin :)
