I like the drawers from Ikea! What a good idea–I,too, like to be able to see my supplies. So often I put wonderful things I’ve collected for future projects in the closet, never to be seen again. I am also having an ongoing reorganization of my studio, and find my labeler to be very useful. (That is, when my husband hasn’t taken it to the garage to organize HIS wonderful things collected for future projects!)
I’m loving all the Collage Mania photos–there are SO MANY talented people out there!

I really like what you have done, love the Ikea drawers, I have not seen them before. I need to organise myself in my workroom so could do with all tips being handed out

I can hear the groans from here about being organized..I’m an organizer from way back and can’t work unless there is some sense of order..”they” say that might be why I have a difficult time with abstract design..whatever, how can “they” work with chaos all around them…love your studio pics..great job cleaning up. Recvd my ATC from you yesterday..thank you so much and I’m having a great time creating pieces for upcoming Fiberart for a Cause.

The Ikea files are a brilliant solution to the flat item storage problem. I have really small flat files from Dick Blick in my studio and love them for the same reason. Your studio is beautiful!

Looks like the room is just waiting for friends to come over and play.

Thanks for the comments, Stephanie.
Louise, glad you liked your ATC. Collage Mania is shaping up splendidly as the artists go all out to send their best work.
Who can live without a labeler, Susan? Jane, your studio must be mighty fine as I heard it is going to be featured in the new Quilting Arts special magazine about studios.
Terri, Playing is always good!

You’ve got some great ideas Virginia, but I think Terry and I are ready to come play and mess things up….your studio really looks too pristine in your pics!!

Judy and Laura - Clean is scary, but I’m sure it won’t be for long. I will be sure to take some “in use” photos. It’s nice to have it nice now though! Thanks for writing, V.

I love your studio. And to think this is where creativity all begins.The post about Laura is very touching and her gift to you is wonderful. Again, thank you for the opportunity to participate in ACS Collage Mania.
