I think every woman must have a studio of her own! Whether painter, poet, potter or whatever medium you use to "create"!
A studio can be from as small a thing as a journal at the cafe - to the converted garage - to the reclaimed guest room - to the shed on a hill. Once we commit to having a studio - we will find that the studio has a mind of her own - and will demand more and more space be dedicated in service to creativity!
It does not have to be grand, but it does have to be equipped with materials, hopefully that do not get "put away" but are always kept out so that as SOON as you are ready to go - you can create. Even if it is for 15 minute segments. A lot can be accomplished during little sacred increments! The most important thing - is just to get started, make it a regular part of your life through your commitment and don't let anything get in the way!
Once you have the space, all you will need is the equipment. I've listed items that I use to create!! I hope you find it helpful to begin your creative and legendary life!
