Halloween DIY decoupage project and creative studio workspace – Steel Roots Market

Rooted in Creativity: Inside the Studio This October

     The mornings feel cooler, the studio a little cozier. My worktable is layered with paintbrushes, paper, and the warm colors of October. This week, I’ve been restocking long-awaited IOD transfers, editing a new Halloween project video, and preparing for a weekend full of creative work.

Between filming, packaging orders, and keeping up with the homestead, I’ve been reminded that slow days still grow the business — they’re where the creative roots strengthen.

Next month, I’ll share how the studio transitions for winter — with handmade gift ideas and fresh IOD projects.

Quick Tip

Quick Tip — Soft Vintage Edges

When layering printed papers or transfers, brush a thin coat of Pentart Heavy Body Gel over torn edges and let dry before sealing. It blends seams beautifully and leaves a smooth, aged finish.

In The Studio


Bits of paper, a stack of new transfers, and a cup of tea — the studio has been buzzing quietly while I prepare for new kits and videos. Small messes, big inspiration.
