I have finally figured out the perfect way to organize the art supplies. I'm so excited. Not only have I got the best art space I've had yet, but I finally found a use for the old coke bottle crate that's just been hanging on the wall in the garage.
Having all of my art supplies in different ziploc bags crammed in a box has been driving me crazy for years. I like to use different combinations of supplies for my pictures and now I don't have to worry about digging around to find everything. Also, nothing is rolling off of the table while I'm trying to switch things up.
I was talking to my mom about my dilemma, and she suggested I use this old CocaCola crate.It has been in the family for as long as I can remember, and my grandmother gave it to us probably 15 years ago when we redecorated my little brothers bedroom in a cocaCola theme. It has been moved around a few times since he grew out of that and has been hanging on the wall in the garage at my parents house for years. I immediately loved the idea, but the bottom has gaps between the slats and things could easily fall out.
For the very thin items, I used small glass jars that fit perfectly in the cubicles, and for the larger items I cut down solo cups, put them in the cubes, and stood my stuff up in them. You'd never know by looking at it.
I am in artist heaven!
