This week was all about wrapping up loose ends, hanging out with friends and family, doing art, and slowly, but surely moving things from the studio to the home location. I had my final two client reveals, came down with a bout of what I think was food poisoning (a wee bit), and had my eyes checked for the first time since 2018! The eye check up for photographers can be a little daunting and they do see some signs of potential glaucoma in one of my eyes, but they also just said “it might just be how your eye looks” - so that’s positive, I guess? In order to call in that new energy, I also rearranged my office and our master bedroom. I think when I moved in with Ryan I still considered it to be HIS house (even 9 years later!!) and so I never took my care or pride in the space - always believing it was going to be temporary. Well, I finally had it and said “These beige walls are driving me nuts, I might as well make them work for me”. I was inspired by How to Make a Sex Room on Netflix - not that we wanted a sex room, but this idea that your spaces should make you FEEL something. It was actually quite fun to see what updated canvases (print your photos!), a few fake plants, new bed sheets and a duvet can do to a space!
Also, if you want a fun art project for yourself or kids - creating cyanotypes is a great way to keep busy and make magic! I bought the treated fabric, but you can also buy paper!
