Where Bloggers Create... number 5





Hello
And welcome to my part of the world,
 which happens to be about an hour west of Chicago. 
We live in a small town that rests on the banks of the Fox River called Batavia. 
Our home was built in the 1860's by E.S. Smith, who was appointed Post Master General to Batavia by President Lincoln. 



This celebrates the fifth year of Where Bloggers Create... 
A great big thank you to Karen Valentine, she has done such an incredible job every year.
Please enjoy all the other studios on this tour



My studio sits facing the back yard which we built in 1992. Originally I had wanted a two story but because I was in the antique business then, my husband did not want to haul my projects up stairs, he had a point... now I am glad because the studio is a part of my garden.



The studio has seen quite a few changes throughout the years, just as my interests and artwork have. It has gone from workshop-craft room to storage to art studio. 



I was privileged to have Jo Packham visit and shoot both my studio's and shop for the magazine 
Where Women Create a few years ago. Posted here.

The past two years is the first time that it has been my primary studio. I have always had two studios, I had one in the back of my shop and when I closed the shop, I had one in an art gallery.  But now I am just at home and to fit two studio's into one was like a huge puzzle, so the result is FULL... and it took me a full year to redo it.



 They have all been posted in past Where Bloggers Create.













My creative work has changed and morphed throughout the years, mostly formed by the "shop". At first I did mostly textile work, in the early 90's I did many pillows out of vintage fabric and rode the Shabby Chic trend. I even made pillows for Norman Lear.






 Most of my work was for resale for my shop, I painted many a rose on old doors, furniture and murals. I made everything from junk jewelry to fabric collage to hand dyed clothing but all with resale in mind which was great fun... 



And I am still having fun with it and selling my whims in my etsy store.



but today I am challenging myself. 
I am doing what I started out doing before... all the trends and all the shops, before... I started working for others.





 Today I am doing art for myself that comes from within. 
I am painting again.



Not with acrylic so it drys fast like I did for resale but with oils... where the paint has to set up and be layered. It is good for me, I have to reach into myself and find the artist.







 It comes from my spiritual being.  It is a new day.
I am trying different subjects to paint, just to see if I can, if it speaks to me I paint it.


I love sheep...



I am still selling my artwork but the mindset is different.



  All my artwork whether it is collage, jewelry, journals or painting comes from a spiritual sense of who I am in Christ. Each piece that I sold had a blessing behind it.






















Spiritual artwork does not have to be angels and a cross but rather the story behind the art is what is reflected in the art. 
The story behind my art is the fruit of the Holy Spirit... love, joy, peace, kindness. Spirit filled work.











 If the work encourages and edifies with its message and beauty, this is Spirit filled work. We can step into art and beyond it into a place where our back story plays a part in keeping hope and love alive.









Not only is my art a reflection of God's goodness and love to me but it changes me as I make the art. 







The creative process is fashioned after the author of all creation... God is a creative God and we are made in His image. 
We are a creative people.









My creative self dwells deep within me and when I create, new inspiration springs up and spills out. I discover new things within me that were hidden.





The gifts I possess is to fulfill one purpose...
It is to glorify God.
It is giving back what He has given me that glorifies Him.
It is casting my crown at his feet.













And whatever you do, do it heartily as to the Lord 
and not unto men. Col. 3:23






Thank you so much for joining me today... I always enjoy your visits and thoughts.






Blessings

Rebecca

  3. I enjoyed my tour of your studio. I too could do nothing without the talent given to me by God. I have asked Him to allow me to glorify Him through my art.

Happy creating!

  32. I can not believe how beautiful your studio is. Inside and out. I feel like Alice down the rabbit hole, this is a wonderland of inspiration and charm. Some place where Victorian ladies would go to relax and loosen their cossets, for a breath of fresh air and cool glass of lemonade.
    I want to invite you over to my studio, but it is nothing in comparison to yours. I am having a ball touring all of these fab studios and getting inspiration by all these talented women.
    Have a lovely weekend, and please come visit my studio, too and join my Give-A-Way.

  34. I have so enjoyed visiting your creative space again this tear! I love that you are painting again, and the Lion and the LAMB painting is just wonderful! I see why you want to paint more. I wish I had that gift. Your creativity and works of your hands being the crown that we cast at HIS feet was the perfect thought behind what we are to do with our talents! It has really been that exactly that makes a difference in what I spend my time doing. Thank you for giving it words. I love how you have expressed your beliefs in your post too. Such a lovely spot you've shared with us. Thank you so much for the tour!

  71. So this is visit number four. Please don't charge us rent! But each visit I am humbled, inspired, sighing and seeing something new each time to make me swoon. Everything is so beautiful and all the supplies make my fingers tingle. I could surely spend days in your studio creating with you or simply watching you create! It has been a winding road for certain, but I think that perhaps you have found your rightful place, glorifying Him and utilizing this wonderful gift you were given. I most certainly will connect with you next time I am up there. However, could we spend more than a few minutes as you suggested?! : ) Sending you love and hugs,

    "her" and of course Romeo (who loved your studio as well but wants to curl up on the linens and nap)

  72. Oh, my friend, you know I love your studio...inside and out! Such a lovely space to be inspired in and your paintings are amazing!!!! You are one talented lady:-)

  75. R.E.,
    The name Batavia sounds like it should be located in Europe with a castle and a king and queen residing there. Your studio is that castle and you my lovely...well you are the queen!
    You, the studio, and your art all contain layers that have to be slowly taken in. (Remember...noon day onions!) None of it can be all absorbed with just a quick look see. Just as it took time to create, so does the honesty of the creation.
    Your heart is poured over every inch of things you love and thank goodness I'm one of them.
    Am I bragging? Yes I am. God graced me when He brought us together as friends and I thank Him daily for it.
    You wield the paintbrush and He wields you. That's what I call a win-win!
    Love you and miss you something awful...

  77. Such a beautiful studio! I also live along the Fox River but further North in Wisconsin. Aren't we lucky to have such a beautiful river in our cities? I found Where Bloggers Create this morning and have happily toured for a few hours now. You ladies inspire me to make of my craft room something more than a place of clutter. I enjoy creating and came late in life to the fact that I have a creative soul and much to say. Our Father blesses us and if we're lucky gives us enough time to fully realize we are His creative children. Thank you for sharing your gifts and studio with me today. Blessings!

Your post was just what I needed for the final push. Please stop by if you have a minute.

  86. Oh. And I mean oh, as in breathtaking. Yours is only the 5th studio I have been able to visit so far, and I am sure it will be my favorite. But your story (your truth) has touched me this morning, deeply, just when I needed it. God is good. I love that each of your pieces comes with a blessing, and that you reflect the creator in your creations. Just reading your words I see the light in you! Expect exceedingly abundant blessings, more than you can imagine or hope for. They are already yours.
    Yours, Holly

    1. Rebecca, I am so sorry that I am so late to see your studio. I haven't been well, so I am a bit behind.
      I wanted to tell you that I love how you show your love for Christ in your work. To have a piece of your work that has been blessed would be a blessing for the owner each day!
      Your painting of the sheep and the man's hand....well, that was Jesus to me holding a lamb....I loved that. Very moving.
      You have a wonderful studio. A girl could play for hours there!

  90. I've tried 3 times to write this comment, not sure if it's my computer or blogger, but oh well, third times a charm right? I've missed you and this morning you were on my mind so I popped over.
    What a beautiful post. Both in word and picture. Always inspiring here. I wish I could blow each picture up so I could see every detail up close. What's up on the shelves by the suitcases, or inside the jars. The fabric trims still in original wrapping, all of it. I hate that blogger took that feature away.
    I admire you so much Rebecca. You've done so much and lived your dream. (pillows for Norman Lear, wow) A lot is going on in my life right now. My mind is overwhelmed with decisions and dilemmas. I haven't had time to blog much but I do miss it. Hopefully things will settle down soon and I can get back to what I love.
    Your painting are incredible, I am still hoping to buy one day.
    Hope you have a lovely weekend.
    Love your Texas friend.
