When does
creative chaos cross the line? My sewing studio is not big. So, do I interrupt
creative flow to put things away or do I let things pile up till there is no
horizontal surface that is not covered with clutter. My “design wall” is about
5’x6’ and above a bed. Things that I might pin there but have no room for end
up on any remotely horizontal surface. My other design surface is a drafting
table. I have a large cutting matt on the table and do some cutting there. (I
did, however, discover the wonders of the dining room table when framing work
for a show. It now has 2 cutting matts, foam core, matt board, needle nose
pliers and all kinds of non-dining stuff on it.) When my drafting table is no
longer visible I finally have to stop and clean up.
Someday my
studio will not have a guest bed or a fish tank that holds one fish that has inexplicably
lived more than 8 years. I dream of replacing the bed with a six foot table,
raised up to make cutting easier. Or maybe the dining room will just become so
buried under art paraphernalia that we will just start using the leaf for the
kitchen table when there are dinner guests.
