I admit it, I'm a voyeur, but mostly when it comes to folks creative spaces. Whether that be fully working studios, a corner in their living room or their bedrooms, I proper love it!
So I though it only fair that I put my creative work space out there for all to see. At first glance it may look like a lot is going on (for those that prefer blank, open spaces, look away!) but it's organised chaos! I love a good bit of clutter, but clutter that has it's place. I am very particular about where things go and super organised with it. If you moved something of mine an inch from it's place I would know. And because I have sooooo much stuff I do know where everything I own is (and probably where I got it from, but that's another story about my super memory!).
My work space happens to be the walk in closet of my bedroom. For some reason there is a false wall in my room. So one end houses some of my clothes and shoes whilst the other is for all my making and doing. It is cramped and I would love a whole room, but then I would just fill it with more tat!
