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?

Wow I really like these picture! This is life! I just deconstructed my "studio" for a weekend: put poster sheets behind the book case and stuff the boxes with materials on the same book case. Voila - a normal appartment!
a messy studio is a busy studio :) my workspace oscillates weekly (sometimes daily) between messy and clear. i like to start with a 'clean slate' but then i tend to get out every possible tool and paper color, just in case. i also dirty as many dishes and tools as possible when cooking :)
You're so close... I feel like I should get to know you :) love your studio and work.
Well, I've spent the morning scouring your blog & looking at your web site...& I adore everything!!! I LOVE vintage papers too & what you create with them is inspiring. You'll be hearing back from me, I own a shop in CA & would like to find out more about your wholesale info. Talk soon...

Omg, you need to get that coffee cup off the production table! Pronto!
Glad you caught it, Ann. That photo was included for you and E. ;)
Wow, your studio is wonderful! Really, it has everything. Love, love, love that desk.
