My Happy New
Year's resolution was to clear away the clutter in my art workspace and
actually create room to do art. My art shares space with my academic library and my pastor study, so a three-in-one. Step one: I had to actually find the space so that I could
organize my art supplies. I carefully went through my book shelves and edited
out books I had not been using and packed them up to donate to a
new seminary. I boxed up seven cartons of books and freed four long shelves.
Step two: go to an inexpensive "dollar" store and buy an assortment
of clear plastic storage containers. Step three: sort the art supplies into
tubs and carefully mark each to indicate the contents. Follow the same procedure for
tools and back-up supplies.

A partial "before" picture-I had cleared the books but I had not consolidated the remaining books to allow for art supplies.
