My Creativity Pimp
Everyone should have thier own personal Creativity Pimp. I have one but beside telling you that she is female and named JJ (an alias), I will give out no further information. Lest you search her out and see if you have what it takes to make her your pimp.
Nope! That is not going to happen.
JJ came to my house today and made this table for my studio! It fits perfectly into the dormer area of my sewing room.
I was given the legs by another haunt of this blog. I took the table legs almost 4 years ago and they sat in my garage waiting for a genius with the right tools to be able to cut it down and top it off.
And a week ago when I mentioned wanting a table and having legs? Who would have thought that when JJ came to put the table together that she would bring a stool too? My next quick and fun project will be to reupholster this little baby!
This area is going to be my painting and journaling area. I need some more organizational impliments... But this will need to be on the cheap!
Now waht I really want to know is, How do other fiber artists store thier finished works (beside rolling them and dumping them under thier work tables, that is). This girl really needs advice on this aspect of the studio.

A new addiction? Go ahead and click it! You will be jones'in for more too.
Pimps and Pusher Mans! That is where my head is at today!
God damn the pusher man.
I am the luckiest woman in the world! Thank you JJ!
Pretty cool! Congrats on the new look for your space!

Wonderful space!
And I watch Frieda and Diego (the owls in Cal), and the hawks in the Midwest.
Posted by: Debra Roby at March 19, 2006 09:42 AMWow, great little space you have there. I have two simple bookcases I purchased from Ikea (I have to really want something bad to go in that store!) I store rubber stamps, collage items, ink pads, embossing powders, and all kinds of sundry items in plastic boxes (shoe box size) and stack them. I have stacked trays from someplace like office depot. I store my cardstock and any papers 8 X 11 or so in those. I have 2-drawer file cabinet and two rolling plastic drawer bins holding up a desk top covered in laminate. That's my work space. I have a closed cabinet that I store acrylic paints, gesso and grounds, other larger watercolor paper and painted papers and fabric. I have a cabinet on casters with 16 acrylic roll-out drawers (also for rubber stamps and ink pads. On my work space I have markers and paint brushes in various coffee cans and containers and a lamp. It has worked out quite well. The only thing is I have so much stuff that some of it gets lost and therefore does not get used. So periodically, I have to clean out.
