Gosh, just struck me that this is the fifth week on WOYWW since our 600th celebration. Has time gone fast or what? Hope you all had a nice New Year, quiet and no big parties thereby staying safe and well. Well, it happened, we are all in lockdown and from what I have seen via messages and FB there was a lot of panic buying the day of the announcement.
Well, in order to make a good start to 2021 I decided to tackle my craft room, bit by bit as and when I can (back permitting) so I started off by moving my ink pads all on the same wall instead of some to my left and some to my right. I found I had duplicated some and had some brand new ones never even opened! What am I like? I was pleased at how clean and tidy it looked (not telling how much dust was there).
As you can see from the top photo I have my Tracy Evans books on display on top of the ink pads - Memento, Versafine, Versafine Clair, Archival, Brilliance, Versamagic, Adirondack, Stazon, Opalite, Ton and Chalk Ink pads. There are a few other odds too like Wendy Vecchi, Catherine Pooler and Izink. My Distress Inks and Oxides are not here but in a drawer and on the window sill. I must find somewhere else for them at a later date. Elizabeth's little yellow tray makes an idea home for the tiny Versa Color ink pads that sit with the silver tin of Archival small ones.
Oh dear, quite a few had dried up and ended up in the bin but this year I decided to be ruthless and not try to reinstate them to their original state (which never happens). Good job I had shown you my new inkpad display wall or you would not have seen it. I asked, on FB, for some ideas of how to store paint. I don't think anyone knew how much paint I was talking about. Here is most of my acrylic paint. Only acrylic! I have sent for another trolley as I decided I would keep them on there but still need something, like boxes, to hold them in their piles of manufacturers.
Above is a view of the room with paints out - Now individually ...
