I’m a member of the Six Inch Square Club for Messy Artists

 

Agnes the Red started a flickr group for messy artist.  It’s called the Six Inch Square Club.  To join you have to show some of your workspace.  Although, it’s very embarrassing, I decided to photograph some of my spaces.

 

This is a 6″ square of the table where I most frequently work.  I do a lot of jewelry here and some altered art.  I’ve actually been cleaning up.  That only happens when I’m desperately looking for something in particular and the only way to find it is to start putting things away.  You can still see buttons, broken jewelry, doll parts and even eyeballs.

 

No tour of my work spaces would be complete if I didn’t show some of my lighting space.  This is a whole table filled with lighting parts.  I guess I have some gutter guard (for altered art) and shutters (for whatever) on the bench as well.

 

Here’s a closeup of that space.  You can see nipples, cords, hickeys, and shade holders.

 

Since we just had a garage sale over Labor Day weekend, I had to clean off my workbench.  I do my soldering and drilling on this bench.  It’s normally filled with odds and ends.  If I solder, I do have to clean off a bigger space, so I don’t catch my garage on fire.

OK, I’ve thoroughly exposed myself.  I think I can now count myself an official member of the Six Inch Square Club.
