Have you ever seen a sugar Easter egg with an icing-trimmed window for peeking into a little scene within?

My studio is like this — a little sugary, a little flowery, and at its best on cold, overcast afternoons when the turquoise walls glow, and doggie is napping under the work table, and inspiration seems to come from every basket.

I'm very lucky to have this room. It is an addition built by the previous owner of our house, who was a painter.
