What does your creative space look like? Is it a large studio? A portion of your dining room table? Or a nook in the corner of a spare room? We love exploring where all of your creative magic happens… big or small!

I am not sure why, but sometimes on the Gypsy Journal, when I scroll down to see more, the writing at the beginning disappers. The first section of the new blog vanishes. It’s doing it today, with AM’s project.
