Anyway I saw that he was leading a collaborative project for crafters and artists to share their workspaces in their full glory. I think this is a great way to show that we are real - and move away from some of the almost clinical pictures that seem to be all over the net.
Whilst I am a very amateur crafter I thought I'd like to take part so I added my name to the list. Brilliant I thought - tonight though writing this brief post it feels a little daunting! My workspace in it's state of play - a little piece of me - the real me - eek!! Ah well here we go:
So there it is. My workspace - lovingly created for me by Phil :o) and covered in my mess ever since! You can perhaps make out my zutter bind-it-all, a partially completed shadow box, a tin waiting to be altered and a whole host of embellishments and papers.
And now, breathe - it's all over!! Please take some time to visit Seth's blog, (http://thealteredpage.blogspot.com.au/?m=1) and find out who else has braved the challenge to 'bare all' so to speak :o)
Thanks for popping by -

Love the colors injected into your space, thanks for the peek.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathryn - thanks for your visit :) have really enjoyed this hop!
DeleteI love those Ikea cup holders I use them as well. Thank you for sharing your space.
ReplyDeleteThey're so useful aren't they - and lots of colours to brighten things up!
Deletelove how you keep supplies organized with those colorful cups!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your studio table with us all today - it's nice to know I'm not alone in having a messy work space =)
Hi - thanks for stopping by :o) I'm most definitely a messy crafter through & through!!
Deletelooks colourful and fun! glad you were brave enough to share!
ReplyDeletehad a few 'deep breath' moments before I pressed post - but glad that I did!!
DeleteAlways fun to peek into another space - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHave had a great time looking at the other blogs along the way - quite reassuring too
DeleteApart from sharing the experience of mess, this exercise is great for getting hot tips on how to organise the workspace - You seem to have gotten the most out of yours - I see a trip to Ikea coming on!
ReplyDeleteIkea's great for storage! My pen cups and the black storage cubes are from there and not badly priced :o)
DeleteGreat hanging buckets full of good stuff. xox
ReplyDeleteHi - thanks for your visit - it's great seeing how everybody works!
DeleteThat is so perfectly organised and colour coordinated... I use hanging baskets as well, though mine aren't as pretty as yours
ReplyDeleteHi Tracey! The colour thing all started with the little pen pots (Ikea bathroom storage) and then I got a bit carried away! But it was fun picking things to fit in!
DeleteYay! Another mess. Except yours looks much more organised than mine.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about organised - those cube storage boxes hide a multitude of things!!
DeleteI'd really love to have a set-up like yours with a desk that sits against a wall and cubbies within easy reach. You have a very nice and quite colorful arrangement. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt is a really useful space - the only place we could fit it in was the bottom of the stairs so my other half planned it all out to get as much in as possible - he did a great job
DeleteI have the same pots hanging on the wall, cheap and cheerful and above all practical from Ikea.
ReplyDeletethey're great aren't they!!
DeleteLove the pots hanging on the wall...that's a great idea. Looks like you are doing lots of things.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo - thanks for your visit - I always have lots of things part done - really need to finish some!
DeleteI love that little pots above the table, I saw already shelf, holders and now pots, I will need to get something for myself :-)
ReplyDeleteI think the pen pots are my favourite bit! And yes you should definitely get something for you :o)
DeleteThanks for your brave share! We're all in that same boat with you! Creativity does not live in a pristine world! Happy Creating! :)
ReplyDeleteI think it was a brilliant idea to get us all to share a bit of our crafting reality! And good to know we're all the same :o)
DeleteI love those buckets.
ReplyDeleteSo colorful! Thanks for bravely pressing "post"! (Love that little alarm clock.)
ReplyDeleteI love your purple and blue buckets. Or is that 'wine' and 'purple'? You have such a sense of colour. Thanks for sharing. Nice to meet you and your work. Ann
