spring cleaning

 i started cleaning and organizing my studio back in january, and i finally finished: there is a place for everything and everything is in it's place.

i even organized myself by putting each of my projects on a slip of yellow paper, listing the steps i need to perform in order to complete each one, and hanging them in a prominent place where i would see them daily.

now, just gotta do it!

(ignore that huge pile of to-be-filed)

three little pigs guard my vintage jewelry...polly pocket sits quietly amongst the (also vintage) hip-hop cd's. i love the drawing above the mirror of me and the mister given to me by five year old neighbor, grace:

i look like a princess, a very tall and thin princess!

my work bench is completely organized

(i ♥ magnets!)...

unfinished work on the right foreground has been separated by color...plastic up-cycled (!) sushi trays hold parts...my glow-in the-dark chandelier wind chimes hang at the rear of this area, with supplies stored in clear glass containers on the stainless steel shelf behind.

 it took a lot of work, but it has been worth the effort to be able to find anything/everything i need to be more efficient during studio sessions.
