Dream Craft Rooms 2

Lina Marie Liscano

I love a craft room that feels like an escape, first of all. A place where you leave other concerns at the door and treat yourself to a place that feeds all your senses, makes you smile, and starts your creative juices flowing.

This room does all that. I love the design of the room, the fact that it looks like you can open windows and sky lights and get fresh air flowing, or feel wonderful as you feel dry and safe when it’s raining, or snowing, or…

The plants let the outside in. I even love the shadows created by the sun on the floor!

This dream craft room is more workmanlike, but it seems like a good design to me. The drafting table is wonderful. The light is good. The table with storage right beside the drafting table would make it easy to draw, paint, or do do anything else you wanted to. I had a drafting table in my bedroom-turned-art-room in Arkansas, and I loved it for doing my woodburning, painting, etching designing, etc.

Another good design with the large table, especially for projects that require many stages. I like the windows in here, too.

This is another of my favorites because of all the plants and the beauty of the design. A greenhouse type escape area, where hours would pass while you dreamed of what you wanted to do, or began work. It’s not clear from this picture whether the lighting is good if it’s not daytime or it’s a cloudy or rainy day, but I could sure figure out solutions to that…

A more workmanlike design here. It doesn’t look like there are screens on the windows, which in Arkansas would need to be addressed because open windows without screens are an irresistible invitation to all the wasps and mosquitoes on the planet..

Driveway Tour

As you come to visit, there is a decoration we made attached to the mailbox at the bottom of our driveway. Right now, it’s Yosemite Sam. We have made 34 decorations in our shop, choosing favorite cartoon characters and holiday decorations.

Our robot welcomes you, doffing his hat and grinning. You can see one of the owls behind him. (We have one on either side of the driveway.)

Here’s a close-up of them.

About halfway up the driveway, our flying pig hung from a strong line over the driveway. The huge branch AND the pig came down in a storm. The pig is now in our shop, waiting for me to refurbish him. We’ll bolt him to one of the big boulders beside the driveway, so it looks like he’s about to take flight.

Meet our guard dog. He’s ready to defend us from harm.

This crow is on the other side, at about the same level as the guard dog, watching everyone who drives up.

Toward the top of the driveway is our sun face. He weighs a LOT and was really hard to attach to the tree.

Below the sun face on the same side is our turkey, made from an old propane bottle and scrap metal.

This turtle sits beside the turkey. We didn’t make this, but I painted his shell.

And there you have it. You have almost reached the house. You might have missed the signs on trees, “Is there life after death? Trespass here and find out,” “Trespassers Will Be Shot. Survivors Will Be Shot Again,” and “Trespassers will be composted.”

Welcome to the Lewises! We’ll continue introducing you to other ‘critters’ another time.
