My low tech standing desk is a porch railing from David’s grandfather’s childhood home in Gatesville, Texas, converted to a plant stand, and now converted into my desk.
A tray is taped to the plant stand, a Walkers cookie tin is taped to the tray. An upside down circular tea tray rests on top of the tin to provide a stable work area for the computer.
A box that held a beautiful fan from china sits beside the cookie tin so the mouse is not so low that it aggravates the carpel tunnel symptoms. The mouse pad and mouse sit on the silk covered box from China (thank you Avice.)
Not quite perfection but dang close enough! It is easy to move from one side of the studio to the other so it is seldom in the way. Oh, the nursing stool I bought, used, 26 years ago helps with lower back issues. (Sometimes I stand on a wobble board.)
My process, and life, is all about using what is within my reach and not worrying about original intent.
(Plus I can hide chocolate in the cookie tin and nobody will know about it because none of my kids read anything I write!)
These blogs are great! Personal and funny and directed! well-done! I too am an abstract painter, from Texas originally, huge Golden user – your work and words are inspiring! Marianne Hornbuckle
Marianne! Thank you! I am using so many exclamation marks because yours is the FIRST comment EVER since blogging on this site! Yeehaw fellow Texan! Thank you very much. I enjoyed seeing your work. Make sure you get lots of emails at your show. Collect more business cards than you give out and follow up on everyone. Know why I am saying this? Last show I collected a hundred names and ONE email. OOPS! Have fun. Turn on that Texas charm and no one will be able to resist.
