Now, I like a good, creative mess as much as the next artist.  But there comes a time when it just has to get cleaned up.  My studio is very, very small, and it gets cluttered very fast.  I thought it just needed a tidy.  Then I spilled about a pint of wax all over the floor and work table.  Then I  had a good look around, and found an old coffee cup that you really don’t even want me to describe.  Really.  And with a two week trip just around the corner, I wanted my studio to feel good to come home to.  So I launched into cleaning mode:

Scraped the table down, then the floor, dusted all my shelves and my palette, emptied the trash, cleaned all the glass, generally put things away, and….. voila!

A shiny, happy studio, ready for work when I get back.
