Someday, I will have my OWN studio space, where I can put ALL of my art stuff in one place, leave things out while I work, and keep them there til the project is done, and not worry about little hands or animals messing around with my stuff.
Until then, I have this:
My dad, who is a contractor, saves me all his leftover compound wire
Kiln doubles as stand for handheld torch station
Sawing, pounding, quenching, pickling
And my trusty bowling pin. I don't like to be without that!
Yeah, it's messy. But at least I have a little space. It could always be worse, right?

Christine, thanks for sharing all of the details and ins and outs of your various spaces! :-) It has always been like that for me. Now that I finally have a dedicated sutdio, I find that I still work a little here and a little there...and most commonly on the floor! The room I have is quite small, and by the time I added in all of my antique finds, there's hardly any room for the beads and tools! :-) But it is my space and the one room that actually looks a bit girly. ;-)
I love that bowling pin - your trusty sidekick!
Um, is the bowling pin just personal inspiration? Or do you actually use it for something?
The bowling pin is used for forming metal and wire! I love it, and it's handy, sturdy and I don't worry if I mark it up. And it was cheap -- my husband got it somewhere years ago. :)
We just had a new shed built. as it went up i saw how really lovely it was. I kept thinking how sweet it would be to have a craft cottage....but then, it would be harder to craft while steve and i watch movies in the basement.
Christine, It can always be worse ... but your work just goes to show that you don't need a "studio" to create great art!
Sounds like we're in the same boat! I've taken up a small space in the garage, and stuff is stacked all around. But some day I'll have a space all my own...I'm dreaming of the day!
