I finally have shots of our new space that is one floor down from our old loft. This one doesn't have a sleeping loft, a kitchen or a shower but we now know that we have no use for those things. This one is filled with light and space and we love it.
Tracy and I have been busy being frankenstein with our images...my journal pages and his lomo shots...and printing them out to adorn all our walls.
We have an Epson R1800 printer that we love. We printed these on matte 13x19's and pieced them together on the back with blue 2" masking tape and then tacked them to the wall.
since we have 12' high ceilings, we have a lot of room to cover. We will be adding more to both side of this closet door soon.
We are using this new space for meets and workshops. We are calling it the Artfest Annex and will have a web page very soon that will list the activities we are planning. If you happen to be in seattle sunday, Sept. 26th, we are having an open house from 1-4. Address is 89 Yesler #201 Seattle.
So I made a mistake when I taped all these together and only realized it when we turned it over. We both decided though that we kinda liked it better this way for some strange reason so we decided not to re-do it.
This is my favorite wall because I LOVE tracy's shots of trees. and to see them all blown up is amazing in person.
Teesha, this space is absolutely amazing. Everything you and Tracy touch seems to just burst into life and your new space is certainly no exception. One day I am hoping to make it back to Seattle and to visit your "Annex" would be the highlight of the trip. Fabulously done!

Stunning! I can't wait until I have a chance to come visit. I'm in Portland, but don't get to Seattle too often. This gives me the perfect reason!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous new place! I love your images on the walls!
I love the way you're decorating your new space; it's absolutely fabulous and I can hardly wait for an opportunity to see it in person. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteTeesha and tracy, all I can say is WOW!! Absolutely Fab!! I would love to come and just stand in this space and breathe in the wonderful creativity that abounds there.

ReplyDeleteHOLY CRAP! Ok, is that wrong to say? Sorry! How about WOW!! Truly amazing. I would be sitting on that fab couch just staring at the walls. And love this space more than the last and I thought I loved that one. Now I want an Epson. And your talent. WOW!

teesha, it is stunning to see yours and tracy's work magnified to movie-screen size: it speaks not only to the technical qualities of your epson, but more importantly, to the detail work involved when you create your initial smallish pieces. i cannot help but think of the great persian and east indian miniatures created centuries ago with single camel and horse hairs!
ReplyDeletekudos, and more power to you both. you are my inspiration!!!!
see you at journalfest halloween week! your fan, ann emerson
You should stream a webcam during the open house.
