Budapest, Hungary
I like taking it on the road. Packing my mail art kit is a lot more fun than packing clothes. And I love picking up every scrap of ephemera I find and tearing it up and pasting it in to my travel journals, collages and postcards. I love the look of a happily messy desktop while on the road.
Am I alone on this? How many of you cut and paste while traveling? Keep a travel journal? Make mail art? Set up a work table in every hotel room?
Anybody taking a trip?
Tell me what your desktops look like!

What a wonderful post, Pamela! Love those writing tables in faraway places. What fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Connie Rose! I am always happy when I have paper to tear and paste, no matter where I am....
DeleteEvery picture is like a postcard...!
ReplyDeleteSpasibo, Virgo!
DeleteThis post is an eye candy for me too!
ReplyDeleteMy desktop looks also chaotic while on the road.
(Actually... at home too....)
It is very important also for me visual interesting paper trash to collect and "upcycling" to collages, travel journals, bookies etc.
It is hard to work in tiny hotel rooms, but at home, after the yourney...
You are not alone..
Eye candy....I like that....oh yes and i always like seeing photos you post of your work space too.....thanks Planet Susannia.
DeleteWow, with all that traveling you will never be short of inspiration for your artwork.

girlunwinding -- exactly! That is one of the reasons I love to travel -- so much inspiration both before, after and during the trips.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing these pictures. I failed to take a picture of the table Mandy and I were using in SF, and failed to take a picture of the bedroom floor I was using in Bellingham...
ReplyDeleteMy work spaces are cluttered and chaotic wherever I go.
cluttered and chaotic -- the best way to go! But I wish you took pictures so i could see.....
DeleteThis was a really fun post to read and look at! Thanks for sharing! Hope you get back into you studio soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindy.....it's coming along....
DeleteI keep a travel journal but I haven't added too many odds and ends from the trip. I think I should do that! It would be much more visually appealing that just my written stories.
ReplyDeletechandlerguera -- well...i think all the ephemera makes a travel journal special...try it -- you may find the tearing and pasting addictive!
DeleteI'd love to see your remodeled studio next time I visit San Francisco!

Jack-still working on it!
DeleteWhat a fun post! And I'm loving the coffees almost as much as the mail art and journaling!
