Aaaahhh. I can breathe! Welcome to the re-organized studio. (See before pics here) I cannot promise beautiful because A. I am poor and B. I am busy. However what we have here is utilitarian and I know where everything is! Let's take a look around...
Finally here I can paint with a dedicated area to place my pallette and solvents! I rearranged a little and gave myself a table for all my supplies. Much better than the ghetto-rigged rickety stool I used to set buckets of liquid on before.
Oh hey... I DO have a sewing machine. I switched the printing station (which is also my dog's crate covered in printers, heh) with the sewing table. Now the table is fully accessible. Before I had to worm behind the easel, and thus, never looked at the machine. This a sweet little vintage machine. $35 from some neighbors who had a basement full of them! The Chemex magnetic board is a gift from my mom. She finds the coolest stuff in books at the thrift shop and then makes crazy stuff!
Just to prove I didn't just shove things behind doors and curtains- here's a peek under my workstation. The shelves are 2 halves of a garage shelving unit with a piece of melamine (easy to clean) on top. I keep everything covered up with a *classy* cloth shower curtain.
I have room for paints, papers and my less frequently used materials like beads and pastels. (anyone wanna buy a bead loom?)
This is the top of my workstation. I have room to do computing and some mixed media papery work. I've got two squeaky but comfortable stools, so ya know...someone can come hang out and nerd around with me. Those little cubbies look unorganized but they aren't! Each one holds thematic doodads like camera accessories, webcam stuff or freebies I give away with orders. Just small, lose-able stuff.
And here's the real star of the show! Meet Kaya. She's got pretty flexible hips. This is her normal "whatcha doin mom?" stance.
I hope you enjoyed the tour, come over and craft some time :-)
