Sharing Creative Spaces

What will make a starving artist more depressed than the fact that they're a starving artist? Not having a work space, that's what!
So it came to be I found myself newly moved into a new hive, organizing my lifes accumulations (and my boyfriends), trying to find a place for everything and neglecting one of the most important things to my spirit. My creative space. So I've been here almost 4 months without picking up a paintbrush and I began to feel a little despair sinking in. Nothing feels worse than just being a drudge worker at a 9-5 with no creative outlet. So I remedied that and in a hurry!
I love seeing peoples creative spaces, even if it's just a little table wedged into a nook where one can sit down and create.
For the time being I am having to share my creative space with...well, the whole house and the majority of the house members are my cats. We will see how this works out because as you can see they already have staked claim on my drawing table.
But I would love to see everyones creative spaces too, it is almost as inspiring as the art one creates. Feel free to send a link to a picture of your creative space or email me the pic at djtigerbee@electriclollipop.com and I'll post your little workstation...make sure to tell me what you create there and a link to your work.
Mine is still a work in progress because I still need to stake out a corner by the window to do my actual canvases at. But here is the little area I carved out in my dining room and some ideas for using votives as brush holders.
