| Who needs condiments when you have glitter? |
We had a couple of rainy days this week that enabled me to take a break from gardening and get some stuff done around the house. I didn't do anything crazy, like the dishes, but I did tidy up and reorganize my art studio.

| Pantry racks aren't just for pantries |
Now I am not the most organized person in the world but somewhere deep inside I aspire to be just that. I sometimes have visions of built in shelves, lined up cabinets, color coded files and clean, orderly, even minimal environments.

The reality is, however, that I am a visually oriented, creatively motivated, color seeking, pattern loving, thrift store shopping, glitter crazy artist with eclectic tastes, varied interests and a lot of art supplies. So while my inner Martha Stewart may wish for a world where all clutter resides in color coordinated bins and boxes, that just doesn't fit the way I live and work.

Instead my studio is a lot like my art; the picture of contained chaos. The things I use the most are out in the open where they can be seen and easily grasped but everything has a somewhat defined home to go back to when I am done using it.

The fact that many of these homes come in the shape of things like pink hippos, blue mermaids or some brightly colored California pottery just makes cleaning up a little more fun. And while this may not totally satisfy my inner Martha, it greatly pleases her Divine Majesty, Supreme Ruler Of VictoriaLand, also known as my inner child (long may she reign) and that is all that really matters.
and she crafted happily ever after. Photography by time2see

Love your pantry racks as craft organization - very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beth! :)
DeleteMy favorites are your colorful & whimsical pottery as creative vessels! My Sharpies are tucked in the holes of vintage flower frogs, & some of my other pens are contained in Winnie The Pooh jelly jars & an old mug from college. : )
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa. I'm reorganizing again right now but most of the pottery and mugs and such will stay. :)
