I blame it on the fact that I don't really have a studio -- we're in a rental house while we build our new house, and there's just no good place for everything.<br /><br />My massive collection of delicas is organized, as are most of my seed beads. And my thread is all corralled into one container. But the rest of the art beads, findings, and other goodies? They're all over the place.<br /><br />Even though you think your studio is a mess, I envy the SPACE you have.:-) MaryLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954014428370461835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-55905706404380833932011-07-19T08:50:25.634-04:002011-07-19T08:50:25.634-04:00So glad to see a truly creative space that mirrors...So glad to see a truly creative space that mirrors my mess.

I have two armoirs, a 5 foot steel shelf, some book shelves as well as a ledge above the armoirs and a workbench with shelves to one side and a cabinet to the other ( it was set on top of kitchen cabinets ).<br />The shelves excepting the top one and one of the armoires is organized. The other is sorta organized, but has too much in it. The ledge on top is full of plastic containers and bags of cloth, not so organized. The book shelves are overpacked so not so organized. I have projest sheets in folders, in binders and in a big expandable scrapbook paper keeper. Not so organized. <br />The worst thing though is my workbench which is covered with project kits, findings, bags of beads, half finished and repair projects. If I didn't work 42 hours a week I might be able to get it clearer and get some of the overflow down by actually having time to work. Either that or I need a much bigger studio.Paula Lee M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-48877104849946268092011-07-17T15:22:53.184-04:002011-07-17T15:22:53.184-04:00No.Cindy,it is a big ole NO.I have boxes of beads ...No.Cindy,it is a big ole NO.I have boxes of beads in my kitchen island.They are in my clothing drawers,while my clothes are in boxes,behind doors that won't shut.I can't see myself in large mirrows,beads hang in the way.Beads in trunk of car.My husband has threatened to leave,my daughters are embarressed,and won't bring friends by.I did clean it up,once,and couldn't find a thing for weeks!Is this a form of hoarding!LOLGailW.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10596426503967201328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-69781461716024623682011-07-17T15:16:00.608-04:002011-07-17T15:16:00.608-04:00My"studio" consist of my living coom cof...My"studio" consist of my living coom coffeetable and the kitchen tableand currently my bedside table.

It is so colorful and fun, a great piece for summertime.<br />I doubt that any true artist has a studio that is organized. When creativity speaks, you should take advantage of the opportunity. That means, more than one project is going at all times. Therefore, a studio is a place for creative thought and development,and it should never look organized. One would ask.....who works here? Color, design, and constant sparks of creativity are alive and well in any studio that looks like yours! =)cw whitedogjewelryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182502175206884857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-48072492626820399562011-07-17T10:28:05.383-04:002011-07-17T10:28:05.383-04:00It's a matter of definition, I think. My table...It's a matter of definition, I think. My tables are somewhere under a mix of beads, findings, stampings etc and many time I have to clear a small space just so I'm able to sit down with a project on the table. That probably looks like a hopeless mess to many, but it's creative chaos to me. It's not disorganized as long as I know where the things are. Whenever it becomes too messy or things just lay there, not being used, I tidy up. Return beads to the right boxes, cut up UFOs I no longer like etc. I can rediscover old stuff that way. But there's always some amount of UFOs, test pieces and loose beads in "project bags" laying around. I like that.<br /><br />However, most of my stash, books, tools and doodads are organized, neatly tucked into boxes, shelves and other containers. <br /><br />So: not too messy, but not super tidy either. It's unruly, but with an underlying structure that keeps things from getting too chaotic (and thus more a nuisance than inspiring by being right in from of you). Some of the "mess" is due to the fact that I work both in what you might call a studio, our bead/craft room, and in my bedroom. So I move things back and forth. Sometimes I end up having half my bead stash by the bed...Manekihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13362626785474144154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-29480514727932493212011-07-17T09:05:30.159-04:002011-07-17T09:05:30.159-04:00My studio tries so hard to be organized but it'...My studio tries so hard to be organized but it's efforts are simply not appreciated or respected because it's always got that tornado just blew thru, cluttered look to it.
