I'm never visiting again though because I WANT YOUR EASEL and I don't think I could handle the trauma. :)andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16364011769128646998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-1153519188654284052006-07-21T15:59:00.000-06:002006-07-21T15:59:00.000-06:00Wow, that's really cool.

I was thinking, "Big whoop, some frickin' easel, seen one seen 'em all," but you're right -- that is like a really cool piece of furniture. <BR/><BR/>Another good idea when you're standing at length while pregnant is to alternate placing one foot on a stepstool -- this distributes the weight better in your lower back.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09874186529099858245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-1153514923230096082006-07-21T14:48:00.000-06:002006-07-21T14:48:00.000-06:00R.G. - I think you sound busy enough to justify no...R.G. - I think you sound busy enough to justify not using your easel on a regular basis!!<BR/><BR/>Tracy - my studio is not always so well-organized (usually more messy)!! I do stand when I work, although I've got a stool that I perch on every once in a while now that I'm pregnant (it's supposedly bad to stand in one place for a long time or something). I prefer to stand so I can step back from my paintings. And yes, I'm left-handed, which is the only way this setup works =)Stacey Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092020892186641387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-1153513694288664702006-07-21T14:28:00.000-06:002006-07-21T14:28:00.000-06:00Are you left handed, by the way?Are you left handed, by the way?Tracy Helgesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510044613771862211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-1153499468882808322006-07-21T10:31:00.000-06:002006-07-21T10:31:00.000-06:00Boy, I think I love your husband! :-)You never can...Boy, I think <I>I</I> love your husband! :-)<BR/><BR/>You never can have too many easels, I say. I am always wishing that I could have enough room for more. But now I am inspired, I am going to start dropping big hints to Doug about Christmas and how I really need a larger easel.<BR/><BR/>Nice to see your studio, it looks comfy and well organized. Do you stand while you work?Tracy Helgesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510044613771862211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-1153417256672316392006-07-20T11:40:00.000-06:002006-07-20T11:40:00.000-06:00Happy (belated) Birthday!!That is an awesome prese...Happy (belated) Birthday!!<BR/><BR/>That is an awesome present!! <BR/><BR/>My sis got me an easel (not nearly as nice) a few years ago, but I haven't used it enough... it just makes me feel guilty for not painting every time I see it...ramblin' girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05101217614181692147noreply@blogger.com
