Inside My Studio: My June Creative Table

A peek at what’s unfolding in the soft, sunlit corners of my workspace 

June has arrived with its cool mornings and gentle light, and my studio table has taken on that familiar early winter hush. A place where ideas settle slowly, like petals drifting to rest. This month, my creative table is a gathering of soft things: torn edges of vintage book pages, pressed flowers from my garden, a palette of blush pinks and muted creams, and a scattering of half formed sketches waiting patiently for their moment. 

There’s a phrase sitting with me as I sit and breathe: “Make room for the quiet miracles.” 

It’s been shaping the way I move through my days, slower, more attentive, more willing to notice the small beauties that usually slip past. I’m experimenting with layering again: ink over soft washes, botanical outlines tucked beneath translucent textures, tiny fragments of poetry floating in the sky of a mixed media piece. 

There’s something deeply grounding about returning to these familiar materials, letting them speak in their own unhurried way. If you’re creating this month, here’s a tiny prompt for your own table: Choose one unexpected texture and let it lead the way. A scrap of lace, a leaf skeleton, a torn envelope, a piece of fabric with a story. Let it be the starting point for something new. June feels like a month of gentle unfolding, not rushing toward completion, but savouring the process, the noticing, the quiet companionship of materials and meaning. 

Thank you for stepping into the studio with me today. May your own creative table hold something that makes your heart lift, even just a little.

Blessings
