NewsletterMore Journal Making and Messy Work
Hello everyone! I thought I would share my creative workspace today, joining the rest of the folks sharing their space on kootoyoo. Here are views of the messy state of my room. I’m still working on my novice bookbinding skills, making more journals and trying to figure out how to use the leather I have – spreading glue all over my desk of course. I’m also experimenting with messy acrylic paintings, on the desk and on the floor…no more space left!

Hello fellow explorers and creative minds! My name is Linda, aka tortagialla - a nickname my adorable husband dubbed me meaning "yellow cake" in Italian. I'm your not-so-typical Californian girl who took the plunge and moved to the Tuscan hills of Italy. Now I'm living my dream designing, illustrating and crafting full-time. You can contact me via email linda [!at] tortagialla [!dot] com
Hi Linda! Just wondering if you will be offering any of your journals in your Etsy store, I love them!
Hi Gretchen – ooo, fabulous question! I am refining the process and do plan to add journals to my store. So happy to hear someone is actually interested! Let me know if you have any specific requests in mind…I’m super excited!

Dear linda, your lovely creative space is filled with inspiration! I would love to try acrylic paintings when i have more time. These days im just so busy and hardly the time to visit you here on your gorgeous space. Missed you while i was away. Have a lovely merry happy weekend and love to yoU!
Hi Jacqueline! Thanks for stopping by…would love to see you try new mediums, please share
I know you can do it although times can be so busy! Hope you have a great weekend, Valentines and Lunar New Year 
I love it when artist show their workspace. I’m so not ready to show mine yet. It’s a total wreck!!! Honestly. My daughter has large bedroom and so I took a little space in it. The room was suppose to be my office and she took it over so it ended up be her room and I rent a little space in there for now. I love the booking binding there. It looks so interesting and beautiful. Please show more when you are able. Great stuff. Have a wonderful and fun Valentine’s Day!!!
Haha, I think my close-ups make it seem less messy than it really is…I’m really cleaning up though for Lunar New Year tomorrow – same day as Valentine’s. Everything has to be in order! I will try to share more though…so much stuff going on, but also so busy with work…eek!
