iStudio Update
After multiple request, we have decided to re-arrange the istudio images from chronological order to alphabetical. This will insure that you find your favorite shop within seconds, while before it took hours. Yet, we are a little sad because, sometimes, it was fun just to get lost and wonder around. This update will be followed soon by a complete overhaul of the istudio gallery into a more manageable and faster version. Think of it as istudio 2.0 or istudio ipad update..... We would love to hear your thoughts and please spread the word and let’s get more people involved.
iStudio Feature
iSudio took another major step into society today with a feature done by etsy artist and blogger Snou. The post can be found here and please take the time to read it because Snou does an amazing job of really looking into the meaning of our work spaces. "When you see a workshop you see more clearly that what comes out of this place
was made by a person, lovingly sitting in front of a worktable, making decisions
with eye and heart."
This is the path I see for istudio-exposure through blogging and features but also through personal analysis by the people participating or viewing. Art is always a two way road-it is never eye with no heart. There needs to be emotion on the part of the person and the art-without this, there is no point. Go check it out.....
iStudio-Update 2
iStudio has turned from a crazy-whimzical art project idea to something of substance and I love it!!! Etsy artists from all over have submitted pictures of their studios/workshops/work-areas/work tables/place of creation and it is quickly turning into so much more than I imagined. If you don't know what iStudio is, here is the info: "iStudio was born from the idea that, "where artists work is sometimes just as interesting as the work itself." After seeing several workshops/studios we quickly came to the conclusion that this was also an art form; more of an anthropological artform."Here is what I see for istudio: I want it to keep expanding-for more and more people to submit pictures and for it to grow into a full blown etsy canvas. I have great hope in this but I will need your help, so let's start letting people know about this project!!! Invite the artists you love, hate, admire, distain to the party because as iStudio grows, it will look like a.......(I have a secret not yet revealed).

iSTUDIO-UPDATE
We had our first two iStudio artists (KimberlyRose & YellowGoat) join the party yesterday and so far the gallery looks beautifully-human. For those not knowing about iStudio, let me give a small reminder or you can look five posts down. iStudio was born from the idea that, "where artists work is sometimes just as interesting as the work itself." After seeing several workshops/studios (fancy names meaning-where you work), we quickly came to the conclusion that this was also an art form; more of an anthropological artform. So what does this mean? Well, we are going to post pictures of studios from all over the world and we want you to join in.
E-mail your picture (yes, one picture, so make it a good one) to us, with your info (name/shop/web address) and we take care of the rest. We ask one thing in return, please contribute to our blog, whether it is posting a comment here or in our weekly featured artist contest or Weekly free art giveaway-be involved!!! Let us know what you think.
