			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my favorite books is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1402712294?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=httpspiriimag-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1402712294">Where Women Create: Inspiring Work Spaces of Extraordinary Women.</a> I have spent hours looking through that book at the lovely studios of the creative women there.    I think I like it so much because these are ideal spaces.  They are organized, decorated and clean!</p>
<p>However, most the artists I know, while they may have a designated space to create, don&#8217;t have beautiful, clean studios.  I hear many more conversations about the mess and the over abundance of supplies, than I hear about what fabric to choose for the chaise in their studio.</p>
<p>Most creative people have very interesting decor in their homes, though.  The ideas don&#8217;t stop at the studio door.   <a href="http://bonesigharts.com" target="_blank">Terri St. Cloud</a> has a pole that she painted in her dining room.  <a href="http://artshapedworld.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Nici D</a> created the coolest &#8220;door&#8221; to her studio out of torn rags.  I wish I still had pictures of both of these so you could see.</p>
<p>I know that a lot of you must have interesting things you&#8217;ve done in your homes.  Will you share them with me?  Leave a comment telling me what you&#8217;ve done and either give me a link to a picture or email me the pic.  I want to make my own little tribute&#8230;  I&#8217;ll call &#8220;Where <em>Real</em> Women Create&#8221;. [Not implying that the wonderful women in the book are not real women,  just that we didn't clean up for a camera crew.]</p>
<p>I came across this picture lately from a previous decorating job I did in my home.  I painted the sunflower on the wall, then hung a frame on the wall to seem to frame the flower.  My family thought it was the strangest thing they&#8217;d ever seen, but I thought it was lovely.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-701" title="sunflower" src="http://creativeclown.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/sunflower.png" alt="sunflower" width="393" height="294" /></p>
<p>So, please fill my comment page with the things you&#8217;ve done in your home.  I really want to see!</p>
