Maybe you are like me...lots of ideas and lots of distractions. In my studio, I have multiple supplies for many projects, but needed some order. I have an inexpensive Plano shelving unit (purchased at Lowe's,) that I have organized. It included another shelf, but that was too tall for my space. The unit was only around $25, so great value. The items may change frequently, but at least I have a home base. This coincides with the "If I see it, I'll use it" concept.
Shelf 1: Collage supplies. I selected Liquitex because thats what I used in college. I noticed many artists use Golden acrylics, but I can't find those locally, so I will use these to get started.
Shelf 2: For papercrafting I placed my glitters on a spice organizer. I also like to dispense them into salt and pepper shakers. I purchase those mostly from Ross for $8 a pair. The silver on top starts to tarnish, and everyone thinks they are vintage. They just look so fun that way, and I love using them.
Shelf 3: Aka the floor. Here I placed my vintage books purchased at a used bookstore. Many of them are pre-1922 so I don't have to worry about copyright issues. I asked a professional artist about this and have done some investigating. Basically the goal is to use images/text that are not recognizable, and to try your best to see if there are any copyright issues. This of course would be an issue if one is to sell their finished work and for purposes of licensing.
