As I mentioned a while ago, I have been wanting some posters to decorate my studio. Well, Allposters have a sale on (it ends soon!) and so I ordered a load of big posters last week.

They arrived on Tuesday and after making beads and jewellery yesterday, I decided to put them up. I thought it would only take me an hour with the wallpaper paste but it was nearly dark when I finished!

I've just a had a peek at it when I turned the kiln on ready to get working out there and I'm really pleased with it! It reminds me of my bedroom when I was growing up only instead of pictures of David Cassidy, T-Rex and the Bay City Rollers, I've got a really eclectic mix of film posters, some stills from old black and white films, nature prints a couple of fine art prints and DH's hero - Bender from Futurarma ("Bite my shiny metal ass"!!!!)

My favourite beadmaker has been moving house this week, Laura Sparling says in her blog that she is leaving her beloved shed behind and I have to admit, I know how attached you get to your workspace.  I would be really sorry to leave my shed behind - especially now - it led me to discuss with DH last night whether or not it would be possible to take the shed with us when and if we move at some point in the future.

The shed cost about £700 (in a sale) and although we got the lining and flooring materials at a very reasonable price because DH is a consultant to a general building company, it would still cost a lot to replace it plus I spent way too much on posters (would've been cheaper to paint it but I think this is better!) DH thinks it would be possible to move it without dismantling it by putting timber bearers under it and lifting it onto the back of a lorry. He estimates (off top of his head) that it would cost about £300-£400 to do it. That would be worth it, I think, not just because of the money value of the shed and materials, but also all the time doing the insulation etc, not to mention erecting it - it took a day and my entire family just to put it up!
