The Studio-Part Deux

Well, at least I found a home for all those pens and pencils!

This is actually an old unit that I got at a flea market from the son of one of the old Warner Brothers animators.  Nice to have a bit of history.

I haven't changed everything in the studio.  I'm keeping all my hands nearby, for instance.  

And, the chandelier of joy is still hanging right above my desk.

Taking a break from organizing to actually create things.  I have a bookbinding class coming in at Zinnia in a few weeks, so I have to make samples and write the instructions out.  More on that later.  Hope you are having a wonderful week so far.

Deconstructing the Studio

I have emptied the studio in a fit of early in the year, well-intentioned reorganization.  Seems that all around me, other artists friends are doing the same.  Must be something in the air or water. Global warming?  Here is what happens first:

So sad to throw away so many pens, but they do eventually dry out or get used up.  On the other hand, I still have these:

I've removed all the decorative items from the studio space and it looks so empty!  I now have about a dozen cardboard boxes full of treasures.  No wonder the studio was so cramped!  Now, I'm setting up stations for painting, metalwork, bookbinding and journaling.  I'll post the progress over time and hope this reorganization prompts me to be creative!  

Are you purging at home, work or studio?
