To be honest, I'm not entirely sure where my life long love affair with books originated from. Neither of my parents read much themselves. Perhaps it was siblings? Or a love for stories? Possibly both. I count my self super-lucky to work part-time in a bookstore at the moment. Brilliant way for a bookworm to earn her crust. This girl has been in my mind a while, 'asking to be drawn'. Below is my workspace; my living room floor with the mandatory mug of earl grey.
My creative workspaces tend to be transient. I often find myself drawing or painting on scraps of paper or individual sheets. Despite my best efforts, i seem not to be able to consistently keep a sketchbook. I've given in to habit and happily keep a folder instead, for it better meets my moody choice of mediums. I wonder what your workspace looks like?

she's so pensive, and that big stack of books waiting to be read! bliss. i too love books. i wonder if it comes from being read to when we were little? did that happen as much for you? when i was very small dad would often read us a bedtime story, or tell us one from his amazing imagination (each night we had another installment - i still remember the adventures!). we always had lots of books at home too, and all had out noses in them as often as possible.
yes i was a serious bookworm in grade 4-8 at school, i still love a good read but dont always make the time... a good thing to do on public transport, i like her comfy dress and bare feet. she is carefree and comfy while reading.
I was first introduced to reading books when I take summer vacations at my grandfather's house. He had a library at the basement with books covered in dust, and tons of Reader's Digest - love Laughter is the Best Medicine.
