AnthroDesk is great for artists, crafters, and all sorts of makers

Please meet my new favorite crafting accessory-The adjustable standing desk by AnthroDesk available on their US web site, As an artist and crafter working with paint, clay, jewelry making, planner pages and so much more being able to sit and stand while working is a game changer.

If you are looking to improve your making space by being able to stand while creating this could really come in handy. It changes any standard desk or table surface into an adjustable counter height. It has one handle that lets you raise or lower it to any height that works for you and what you are making.

I can easily raise the table top easel to paint standing up or lower it to do fine detail while sitting and then raise it back up do be able to paint standing up and step back and forth while working.

The two levels of this AnthroDesk standing desk converter also available on Amazon was great for making small cuts on the lower level while working on my planner pages and displaying websites on my laptop on the upper level.

If you like working on things at eye level you can raise the adjustable surface to where your project is at eye level when sitting and do tiny work as in the case here when I was doing some jewelry making and soldering.

I really liked the AnthroDesk (available in Canada as well) for working on my ceramic bowls as it makes it easy to see at eye level while centering the pedestal part on the top part. I can sit or stand at this adjustable desk depending on what part of the bowl I am working on.

I should also say as someone who spends a lot of time writing and reading on my computer spending some of that time standing (and maybe doing a few yoga poses) while working will really help get in a bit of mobility and stretching that can only add to a healthy lifestyle.

If you are looking to get a gift for an artist or crafter that might like to have the option of sitting or standing while they spend time doing what they love I recommend this ErgoSpring Standing Desk Converter.

King Sophie’s World – Where Photography Meets Embroidery in a Stunning Art Evolution

In the world of modern art, creative boundaries are constantly being pushed, and one artist who is leading the charge in an innovative and inspiring way is Sophie, the mastermind behind King Sophie’s World. Sophie is redefining what it means to blend traditional needlework with contemporary art by combining her stunning photography with embroidery. If you haven’t heard of her yet, you’re in for a treat. Let’s take a closer look at how Sophie’s work is pushing the boundaries of art, one embroidered print at a time.

Sophie’s artistic journey is a fusion of two worlds: photography and embroidery. As an artist, she captures beautiful, thought-provoking photographs that evoke emotion and capture life’s fleeting moments. But Sophie doesn’t stop there. She then takes those images to the next level by adding her signature embroidery to everyday objects, creating a piece of art that is both striking and meaningful. These embroidered prints aren’t just photographs—they are a  intricate interpretation of her vision, 

This evolution of art, where photography and embroidery meet, is not just innovative; it’s a testament to the evolving ways in which artists are reimagining the classics and experimenting with new techniques. Sophie’s ability to seamlessly blend these two mediums shows just how far the art world has come—and it’s exciting to think about where it’s headed next.

Among the many stunning pieces in Sophie’s collection, her embroidered rose prints stand out as personal favorites. There’s something so striking about the combination of delicate flowers and bold, empowering words. The roses themselves are beautifully photographed, with intricate stitches capturing the softness and elegance of each petal. But it’s the juxtaposition of these gentle flowers with words that encourage strength and confidence that makes them so powerful.

Her rose embroidery prints feature sayings that resonate with many of us—quotes that inspire, uplift, and make us reflect on the importance of self-worth and empowerment. These aren’t just pretty flowers; they’re symbols of resilience, independence, and beauty, much like the women they represent. Every time I look at one of her pieces, it’s like a visual reminder of how we all need to embrace our inner strength and beauty.

What Sophie is doing with her embroidered prints is so cool because it’s a perfect example of how artists are adapting to and evolving with the times. She takes the age-old art of embroidery—something traditionally viewed as delicate and reserved for traditional or vintage works—and reinvents it. By combining it with photography, she breathes new life into both mediums.

Sophie’s work is proof that art doesn’t need to stay stagnant. It’s an ever-changing, ever-growing process that can take on new forms and new meanings. Through her embroidered prints, Sophie is showing the world how art can evolve and how we, as viewers, can continue to be surprised and inspired by these innovations.
