My two cents on studio organization:
|
Label your containers and drawers as
much as possible (and don't wait for pretty, typed labels...it's
okay if they're boring and handwritten).
Keep a couple of bins on your art
table that include your most used supplies like your favorite
scissors, glue stick, pens, etc. so that they're always in easy
reach.
If possible, set aside space for ongoing projects. I like to keep
mine in stacks on my desk. For example, my art journal is an ongoing
project that I keep on my desk so if I find something in a magazine
that I want to try in it, I rip the idea or image out of the
magazine and put it in my art journal pile. This helps give me
direction and focus when it's playtime in my studio.

Here I am in my studio with my
precious kitties. They meow like crazy if I don't let them in. So,
if I'm not flinging paint around, I'll usually let them wander
about. That is until they start chewing on my vintage papers and
tinsel. LOL. |

This is my art desk. I love having it
as a U shape so that I have work surfaces on 3 sides. |
|
This cabinet is filled with all kinds
of embellishments and goodies. On top of it is a little chest that I
bought from a hardware store. It holds all of my charms and misc.
super tiny stuff. |

This is a cool metal wall hanging that
usually holds greeting cards. Instead, I've tucked in inspiring ATCs,
collages and gifts from friends. |
|
Just a peak into my closet...you'll
see that I've organized my fabrics by color in bins. And on the
bottom, I keep all of my paints, pens and glitters in labeled
plastic drawers. These have wheels on them so that I can slide them
over to my desk if need be. |
|
This is my bookshelf that's dedicated
to all things paper. I know it looks really messy but it's labeled
pretty well so I'm usually able to find what I need. |
