My Studio (s)

*****The studio just underwent a major make over I'm still adding some finishing touches so stay tuned for new pics!***
  
Welcome to my studio! Here's a quick tour....   Please excuse the mess ;)
   

 
   
This is my armoire it's HUGE.  I call it the Bead Vault :) It holds all my  beads, tools, show displays, ribbons, paints, supplies and other crafty stuff and hides it away nicely when I need it to!  This is all in my Family room turned Studio which sits on the main level of my home so it's a perfect room right off of my bead studio (see below)  where I torch. It also allows me to meet with customers .
 
The build ins next to the fire place house my favorite books, various trinkets and vintage cigar boxes full of more vintage goodies. The antique console stereo belonged to my grandfather and houses a record player, radio and 8 trac and it still works!
 
      
Along that same wall is  my piano that my parents bought me (I've been playing since I was 6yrs old) and a chair makeover project that I just love.
   
My Glass Studio:

 
My Jen Ken Bead Box kiln w/ an Orton AutoFire 3 Button Digital Controller great for EVERYTHING! I love this kiln! and my Oxygen Concentrator it's a Devilbiss and it's fantastic I'm so glad I got it!
Left pic shows how my work area starts out clean and organized but how after a week or so of making beads it ends up looking like the pic on the right :)
     
I've got glass stashed all around here but all within easy reach, I use floral foam to hold my dipped mandrels, baby food jars and little metal tins for my frits, empty coffee cans for shorts and odds and ends. Over further to the left is my soldering and silver working table.

It's quite the mess but I love it! The muse doesn't like things to be in too much order, it scares her away lol! I like to think of it as creative chaos ;) I hope to paint a faux rug on the cement floor soon as well as paint this boring white wall.
 
 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed the tour!
