You won't like this competition - it's painful...

[Katy Noelle]

Katy, your Flickr pictures aren't showing

That's because I'm really a polar bear eating a marshmallow in a snowstorm! My real name is "Pooky"!

[Tamara]

Ok folks... here is my contribution

First my home made mini-studio (I have to buy lamps... I know )



Then my small workplace (where I work when I cant use the dining table... hahaha...)



Closer view.....



And finally, the workspace I use the most... that's the issue when you live in a (very) small house... and my boss Oscar, he's controlling all of my work



Enjoy.... and have fun !

Tamara, do you live in the vicinity of an IKEA store by any chance? Its very 'European'. Given that I am not overly keen on the dentist I think your studio would put the fear of god into me.

(I have to buy lamps... I know )

Something like THIS maybe

It's the cat that scares the hell out of me! What a look.

[carregwen]

Wirefox..I'm with you!!! We have the same wallpaper in our (ahem) second sitting room

You have what!

Several points about your work area Margate Man

• That's a very large dessert bowl!
• You really ought to get a mat to go under the laptop, or you will scratch that table.
• Next time you do a landscape to go on the wall try stitching it in Photoshop.
• Change your CiC screen name to 'Margate Man'

Lovely house, Katy. Looks a really cool place to live. I like the bygonne era, Late Victorian, Old New England look. Are you in a quilt making circle?

Envious.

I need you to take this shot again. Except this time put the camera on tripod and self-timer and sit on the red stool, looking comfortable and at ease. I know that people love their MACs so much that all other considerations are forgotton, but there are limits...

Love the pussy.

Er, no quilting circle, although there are plenty around. The ladies just don't seem to be interested in the technical aspects of my camera..... I can't figure out why! Did you happen to note that I know where to put my legs? On the hassock! Yup! I'm all into the comforts of home.....

Queenslander here, Raylee. Well, we are not all Crocodile Dundees, I am pleased to report. So feel free to speak at a moderately brisk pace. About one word every 2 seconds should be OK But go easy on those tricky two syllables words.
Now, donning my Sherlock Holmes deerstalker, I have deduced that you live in Canberra. The air of tidy orderliness in your home studio is something not to be found in the real world. Am I right? If so, I will arrange for some of my mates, Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, Bob and Clancy (of the overflow) to drop in sometime soon for afternoon tea and damper. They will bring you up to date on all things dear to Queenslanders such as snakes, crocodiles, cattle ticks and the Broncos (whatever they are). I am sure you will find the conversation scintillating (This is a word I learnt during a holiday down south and have been apprehensive about using until now - oops used another big one, better stop before I get outed as a closet southerner).

You Queenslanders are too clever Grant! I won't tell you what I do for a job - you'll be able to deduce that too. I like your sense of humour.

Wow! Now you have me feeling really anxious. There are lots of scary jobs in Canberra. Please tell me we are not talking Tax Office, here! If we are, I can explain everything, even the $200 that I claimed last year for my seeing-eye wombat.

Grant

[dragonaxe]

You have what!

It's not MY fault...Wirevixen popped round with her white marker! (oops, I wasn't supposed to tell anyone about the "visit" ) And there's nothing I could do about the landscape...that's what it looked like through the bars of my cell!!!!!

I used to work there...But now I'm much closer to the wombats.

[Wirefox]

You have exquisite taste Gareth. Ignore the Welshman. He is miffed that he has no bids for his Laura Ashley scatter cushions on e-bay (they clash with his pink camera)

EXTERMINATE THE NORTHERNER!!!

Time for some more IMAGES OF WORK-HOVELS. Where are they?

[Dave Humphries]

I am deliberately biding my time, so I can use a shot of my space posted here as one of my PAD entries (two birds ...)

Sneaky huh?

Possibly. Some might say procrastination. I would say that you are feebly attempting TO CLEAN YOUR WORK AREA PRIOR TO SHOOTING IT!!!

No, I don't think so ....





The lens cap is strategically placed to cover a coffee mug stain ring tho' (oops, I didn't mean to say that)

Cheers,

[carregwen]

There's a lot that you could learn from Donald....

[Peter Ryan]

Ok, I can see you are all highly organised. I currently work off a laptop wherever, but mostly from the dining room table at the farm.

How good is your imagination? I have an old stable block with hay loft. We are talking about 5 x 18 meters (20 x 60 feet roughly). Come November I will be doing up the hay loft as a studio for myself and for the workshops I run. The following images are ‘before’. I will post ‘after’ images so see if you can image the conversion.

The stables were built in 1857 old by Australian standards and were originally the home of the draught horses to serviced the Kyneton cordial factory. Below the hay loft is a 6 bay stables with original panelling, feeders and bluestone floor. The walls are corrugated iron. In time I will convert the stables into a gallery.

This will be the front door. I have new colonial style double doors with clear glass to go in here.


I will be putting French doors at this end to allow for flow through ventilation. I will use the old door from the other end as internal louvers to block out light when I use a projector, etc.


As you can see the first step is a bit dramatic. I am building a timber deck over the sheep yards and have purchased the stairs to go with them.


This is the current ladder to get into the loft. I think I need to update this.



I do need some assistance though. Where do I put the wine cabinet?

[Dave Humphries]

OK, I went back and looked at Donald's picture, and your response, but I think you're going to have to spell it out for me

[Dave Humphries]

Yikes, you don't want to slip off the ladder with that pitchfork there!

It'll be interesting to see it develop Peter, good luck.
Of course, if you started a month early, you could up date us daily in the PAD

Cheers,

[Peter Ryan]

Hi DAve,

I will put them in a separate post in as we get there and update you that way.
