Rebecca! Indulge us with more!! That's what this group is for!! Your space looks huge!

Louise loves the doctor?? Going to the doctor? Hubby is a doctor?

I want to see what's in those drawers, Louise! (And no, I'm not one of those people who look in peoples' bathroom cabinets!)

Thanks for your concern, Jill and Alicia- I didn't mean to creep you out! I'm pretty sure it has moved out, they don't like loud screaming and banging, and there's plenty of that going on here. Just for you I'll play loud music in my studio and the vibrations should scare away any snakes still lurking around!

Lovely view Chris, and thanks all for the positive feedback! Yay! :-)))

Here's the view from "HerShed" & the inside of my sewing space.

Loved the discussions on the snake - Viz obviously lives in the country - hence the brown.  Here in civilization (Brisbane) - we get some snakes, usually on golf courses (ask the husband), my son has had a carpet snake (type of python) visit him but he lives on the mountain in a rain forest area.  We have had blue tongue lizards but I think they moved after the flood - haven't seen any for a long time. We do get carpet snakes here in Brisbane, friends have had them living in the roof - they are non-venomous - love to eat rats so are handy to have around. (So they tell me!).  Bush rats (rotten devils, gnaw on wood - live in walls) & possums are the worst we have here.

Rebecca - loved being able to see your yard - do we extend this for those who have a view from their space?   Those of you that have to work underground - maybe we can see your yards sometime?  Vizma - I think you have unleashed something with a soul of its own!  It's great!

Here is my space. I live in a bungalow and my "studio" is in the basement, which can be great when we have a hot summer and the a/c is on the fritz.It's kind of broken up into a couple of areas or it migrates depending on what needs to be done...

I remember what Angie was saying about her's being so close to the laundry room; well, mine is as well. No joke.

I don't get snake infiltrations, but sometimes there are BIG centipedes; so I have to grab the vacuum and suck them up...yuchhh...

Jill, are we the only ones freaked out by this snake invasion of Vizma's studio?  Tried for years to overcome this fear. I thought for sure this story would spark many snake stories.  

can you imagine commuting to work on the train with a boa sitting next to you? Did it carry a little brief case ;-)

Viz. back to the snake. could you place the blue tongue lizard up in the crawl space to be on the safer side? This is creeping me out. Do you know any tough snake hunters? Is it true snakes won't slither across a ring of ashes? Could you smoke it out.  Please post update to this story so i can relax, ok?.

Hilarious. If I'd seen this yesterday morning it would have looked manageable.  This morning, No. I took about ten other views of clutter and quasi organisation but thought that posting them would be indulgent.

OH yeah snake..the cat was looking up at the ceiling for ages, and we heard a weird rustling, so my sister went up through the manhole to investigate. We thought it was a possum or rat, but then I heard my sister SCREAM and run and jump down the ladder. I quickly called emergency 24 hour snake removal and left a frantic message on their mobile phone. We followed the sound of the snake around the ceiling and then it poked it's head out of a half renovated ceiling gap. My sister tried to scream it away towards the back of the house, (unfortunately that's where you'll find my art space) and every time it poked it's head out she'd shriek some more. Snakes don't have ears but I'm sure it had some sort of piercing effect. We have no idea what happened to it, but I carefully cleaned my studio, after the visit by the blue tongue.

 The emergency guy still hasn't called back.

I just favourited my own group, is that allowed? I love the pics of domestic spaces being engulfed by art supplies and projects!! As a child, I was always being told off for it and it's so great to see a group of people still encroaching on family spaces with their art stuff!

 I live with my sister, also an artist and our whole house is an art space, so no arguments here! Sometimes when there's too much art stuff in the kitchen, the kitchen stuff gets put in a box and transported to the library, so cups of tea have to be made there. 

I'd love to see a video of a family having a quarrel over art spaces taking over, would someone like to stage one??? Reasons for not clearing a space- "the glue is still drying on that piece," "but we have guests coming tonight,"  "don't you dare touch that," etc...

All the Artspaces I've seen so far are as amazing as the artists who frequent them.
Holy Crow, Vizma! You could put a leash or a small saddle on that creature! Good thing it eats snakes.
