Given the small size of my art "studio," and the large amount of materials and supplies needed for my collage-making, I am constantly reorganizing my area to maximize the space and increase the accessibility of my stuff. I recently undertook a complete overhaul of the papers and 3D objects that I use regularly. I sorted and filed all the various paper materials (maps, coffee filters, commercial paper, handmade paper, music sheets, and so on) into legal size hanging files in large plastic bins. It is SO much easier to find what I'm looking for now!
Two sturdy hardware organizers from Home Depot were the perfect solution for creating order and visibility for my numerous objects (bottle caps, pieces of plastic, ribbon, buttons, rocks, shells, etc.), which now are sorted and labeled according to type. The organizer and the artist in me are both thrilled with this new order. I love it!

I LOOOOOOOVE seeing such an organizer (good gawd, and TWO, to boot!) put to such good use.
It's so hard for me, in stores, when I see organizers like those. I want to buy them and fill them... but, most of the time, I don't have stuff to put in them. And I'm not going to buy stuff I don't need/want to fill organizers ... that would just be adding clutter, which, of course, is contrary to the purpose.
I could almost drool, looking at that 2nd photo, though. It's like a soft, fuzzy animal: I want to pet it. And open the drawers, look inside, close them again, and then admire the whole thing all over again.
I wonder which part of my brain it is that lights up when I get all excited like that.
