My flameworking studio... needs more storage... my jewellery making area aka the family room needs a bigger floor 18 feet by 16 isn't big enough and my stained glass studio ... well it's in the dungeon.. it comes complete with moat when it rains and a river running under my work table.. it also doesn't have heat which is an issue in the winter... so what I would like... is one large space with lots of light, heat and storage... I'm constantly running from the basement to the family room to the flameworking studio.. ( seperate building) and then there is my sandblaster which is in the garage... also unheated... half the time my air compressor is missing someone has borrowed it ....Islandgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07991784935260285292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-46122064294424299782010-08-27T10:34:16.190-04:002010-08-27T10:34:16.190-04:00Before I really got into jewelry designing and cra...Before I really got into jewelry designing and crafting, I had a spare room that we began using as storage space.

I wanted the space where I could leave things out without the cats stealing them.

I had to quickly move up to the house - a third of the space.<br />I'm so crammed and have been out of commission so much that things just pile up on top of each other - when you're laid up as much as i am and you have a computer, shopping is a way to pass the time.

I'm sure being close to your grandbaby will be worth all the trouble and angst to get there.<br /><br />More than anything, I'd like to actually have a studio at home where I can lampwork. Right now, I have to drive to a local studio and pay for torch time. I'd also like a place I could set up my bead and wire stash and keep current projects sitting out.TammyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05302341021138093560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-471485400547109102010-08-24T10:08:57.650-04:002010-08-24T10:08:57.650-04:00Yeah for new studio space!

I just dragged everything out and am slowly trying to rebuild it into something useable. I would love better lighting and a more permanent solution to the tables, like the counter tops that I had in my previous studio. And a better chair. I have this antique Hamilton printers cabinet that I am slowly dumping the entire baggie population into because I want to rid myself of plastic. It is standing in the way of me getting anything done! Can't wait to see more about your studio space, and you know I am loving those toggles, Lynn.<br />Enjoy the day!<br />ErinTesoriTrovatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771359288546654791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-10663101287236412052010-08-23T23:23:43.336-04:002010-08-23T23:23:43.336-04:00I think this studio has lots and lots of great Kar...I think this studio has lots and lots of great Karma!

I like that my studio's a place where I can just leave things in the middle of projects and don't need to continually put things away after each session. I recently fixed one problem in my studio--adding a thin rug under my beading table. Before, my beads were bouncing and rolling away when they fell off the table. Now I at least have a chance of finding them!Michelle Machhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11250447711658920958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-31445649208858434692010-08-22T11:59:11.328-04:002010-08-22T11:59:11.328-04:00First of all, best of luck in your new situation. ...First of all, best of luck in your new situation. Time with family is priceless. It creates a spark of enthusiasm matched by nothing else. That alone gives you the incentive to design more creatively. A happy heart presents a whole different outlook on everyday life. Enjoy every minute of it, life is too short.<br />My studio is almost perfect. I have a window next to my desk that allows me to see all the colors and sounds of nature which feed my creativity and strong sense of color. A clean, cleared desk is a great start to a new design. If there was one thing I could change about my studio it would be to have my supplies well marked and easily accessible, color coded, of course! Most wanted: shelves and more shelves and containers full of everything you need when that creativity starts to bubble inside. I love your work, continued success. I wish you fun and excitement in creating your new studio. Enjoy it! It's a new beginning and exciting passage of your life.<br />Chriscw whitedogjewelryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182502175206884857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-46401655323783667542010-08-22T11:44:48.720-04:002010-08-22T11:44:48.720-04:00...better SEALED, SEE THRU storage.I live in hawai......better SEALED, SEE THRU storage.I live in hawaii.

Would love to have a room set up like a bead store, with beads hanging and seed beads organized to see all the colors. Sigh.

Moving is never fun, but getting organized is the up side.<br /><br />I currently work at my dining/kitchen nook table...I do have big big windows on all three sides of me so that is nice... However the table is quite full of all my projects...no room to eat...good thing we have a hugh kitchen counter top bar that sits six...so we can dine there. <br /><br />My family puts up with my little creative mess...but I do get comments like "it would be nice to eat at the table".

I have beading upstairs, knitting everywhere, paper crafting in the dining room, and bits and pieces of projects that travel from place to place. I wish my magic wand could "swish" it all into one airy, bright spot with feng shui to calmly move from one project to the next. My space now is referred to as "Creative Chaos".hula-lahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17573985532086059343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-23436205900137743502010-08-22T06:21:42.779-04:002010-08-22T06:21:42.779-04:00The sight of boxes makes me cringe these days, it ...The sight of boxes makes me cringe these days, it feels like I've been living with them for months during the packing, staging and moving. The way the old basement studio in Missouri was arranged wasn't going to work in this new location, so I'm re-thinking where everything goes. But for certain I have a fire-safe table that I can use for the butane torch, and a water-safe place for the glass grinder. Other things I'm still figuring out.

A few stray dressers, a sofa, some lamps that need work...and hundreds of books that don't seem to fit anyplace else. I work on an antique drafting table, but between seed beading, polyclay, metal clay, stringing, and wirework, my space is cramped. I would love better storage for my beads and jewelry tools. Right now as much as I can wrangle is in clear plastic boxes with tagged with label maker labels. I would love shallow printmaker style boxes that can slide into a print cabinet so I can see more of the stash at one time. Also, I'm having bad luck with lamps. I need one or two new daylight-fancy shmancy task lights that adjust. The last time I checked prices on that type of lamp, I almost had a stroke! Little by little I'm making progress.Lois Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908293685852842432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-31184438995207651522010-08-21T19:35:31.234-04:002010-08-21T19:35:31.234-04:00I would like for my studio to be twice the size th...I would like for my studio to be twice the size that it is now - that would give room for more table space and more rolling carts for bead supplies.
