I am lucky enough to be able to dedicate an entire room in my apartment to use as my studio. This is where all the modeling and painting goes on.
As you can see, there is lots of storage space for raw materials, ongoing projects, and finished pieces, yet it seems that no matter how much space I have, I always seem to run out of room.
From top to bottom, the pictures circle my work room; The shelf in the top picture is just inside the door, and the pictures progress as you turn counter-clockwise around the room.
And YES, that is the digital camera's power cord foreshortened in the third picture.
The two new pictures at the top show my new paint racks. You can see in the third photo my old system, using spice racks and silverware trays from K-Mart. The drawback (besides my paint collection outgrowing the space I had) was that it took up half the depth of my work surface. With the new racks, not only do all my paints FIT again, but they're all flat up against the wall, re-claiming most of my desk. This nearly doubled my usable work space.
I don't have any woodworking tools. I have a circular saw, a power sander, and a power drill -- that's it. But that was all I needed for these simple constructions. And while they may not win any beauty contests, they serve their purpose quite well, and only took an afternoon to cobble together. Cheap, too - less than $20.00 worth of wood (and screws) to hold well over 300 paints!
