Back in November I posted about cleaning up and organizing my studio space, even showing some photos with visible
bench space! Well that didn't last too long. Here’s what it looked like during the muffin tin challenge at the start of January.
Hiding under that tin were the components for another 4 or 5 projects either waiting for inspiration, waiting to
start, on the go, waiting for clasps, or waiting to be photographed, priced and
posted…
Here it is less than 2 weeks later and I
finally feel like I’m getting somewhere in my messy space challenge. I
purchased a new organizational unit (actually a scrapbook organizer on
clearance) and have almost filled it. Two of the drawers are filled with copper
wire.
One photo I never remembered to
take was the one of the comfy chair right beside my desk with the large box full
of copper wire, and all the extra copper wire waiting to be stripped of its
coating. We had our heating system replaced last summer and they had to change
some of the wiring because it was undersized for the load. I kept all the old
wire, filling 2 drawers with it. I am upcycling bit by bit. I figure
Three of the remaining drawers are
filled with chain, sheet metal and packaging supplies. The last drawer is
already partly filled with links and bead caps.
Everything else I either put away
or placed in project containers that I've been collecting – old fridge containers
with no lids, empty plastic containers for bulk cashews and other snacks, and
so on.
The photos below show what the
space looks like now, one project in progress. That’s the plan, one project actively
being worked on at a time, any others kept in containers, either resting from a process
(drying, etching, tumbling, whatever) or waiting their turn to be started.
These are all in that stack on the left side.
Now comes the real challenge.
Sticking to my new method…
