It was rainy today, perfect for holing up in the studio and making stuff. I spent the afternoon working on a custom bulk order for some Vintage Index Card gift tags and Vintage Paper key tags. Here is what the studio looked like (click on any image for a larger view):
The studio is not as dark as it looks in this picture.
Some book "guts" I am using for the key tags and other things. My Teflon folder, one of my two Japanese screw punches and a bookbinder's awl are in the foreground. TIP: Teflon folders are better than bone folders because they do not rub shiny areas on your paper.
Vintage paper key tags for the order.
These bowls, filled with postage stamps, ends of book spines and other pieces and bits, are always on my work table.
Coffee mishap. This shot is for Ann and Elizabeth. ; )
We see all of these photos online and in magazines of beautifully designed, perfectly organized arts studios. Thought you might like to see what a studio looks like when work is in progress.
How do you keep your studio? Is it ready for a photo shoot? Messy, but functional? One step away from condemnation?
