Default Please dont look

I look at every body elses nice neat studio and wonder where I went wrong. I guess I'm going to have to hire a maid or better yet get an apprentice. Anyway I have always heard that "a clean desk is a sign of a sick mind" or was it the other way around? I cant remember. Oh well
Thanks
Mike

I don't know,I thinkI might be OCD, all my glass is organized and the only ones out are the ones I'm using. I think I need a good stiff drink to loosen the hell up.

Funny you mention that. My glass is organized by the color wheel. I'm very anal about that part, lol! It's just the other areas that are all jacked up.

I love to see everyone's workspaces but I COULDN'T work in that mess. Sorry, don't want to call it a mess.... hell, it's a mess!

I don't care what my tidy space says about me I just can't work in a mess.

Another reason for me - I was working at the torch the other day and getting off my stool I could see a LARGE drop of something dark red and dry on the floor. Looked down at it and wondered, what's that? Wiped it up and then spotted under my work bench a VERY LARGE pool of stuff which had clearly dripped profusely - same colour. (I know, too much detail).

Cleaned that up (or at least tried to but as it had dripped onto wood and SPLATTERED, it was difficult). Turns out it was, you were ahead of me!, blood. Even worse, it was my blood. Euck!

My foot was bleeding and I didn't even realise it. Had a butchers and could just see a small spot and my only conclusion was it was a bit of glass in there. I've always been a bit anal about cleaning my studio floor mainly because I have a dog (who won't leave my side) and 2 cats running about so can't take the risk, so imagine if I left it to build up!

I think however you work is fine - it's what comes out of the chaos, or order, that counts.

What's that saying about mess and brilliant minds?

Well, I hate to admit it, but I'm at the "neat and organized" end of the spectrum. When the West MI Gathering was at my house someone asked if I cleaned up after every session. Um.... Yeah.... doesn't everyone...???? LOL! I'm also slightly OCD... it's that anal-Virgo thing...

Part of my excuse though is that one of my cats LOVES to sneak into the room with my studio. And I don't want any vet bills from glass shards.

I can vouch for the cleanliness of her work area!!! And she's got lots of glass too! I too have an anal-Virgo thing, but mine is more organizing than cleanliness. It may be a mess, but I can find anything I want at any time!

Whew, I thought that mine was a mess and thought I must be the only one...

But I am so jealous of all that glass...

Any and/or all of you OCD'ers are welcome to stop over my place and organize my mess if ya want!! I couldn't stay organized even if I tried! I sometimes look at my mess and wonder how I get anything done.

If ya mean the color wheel hanging on the Ott light, that's me. Funny thing is, I forget it's there half the time. Not surprising in all that mess!

Wow Shawnette... your actually worse then Lori Robbins and I thought she was bad. I cant go to her studio and play unless I clean up a space for myself first. I love that girl, but man her torch is messy!

Now I do have to admit I am a bit anal retentive or a bit OCD. Anyone who knows me know this for sure! I clean the floors in my house daily and I have to clean up my work area at least before I can start working.

Well it is not the neatest but is sure as heck ain't the messiest. 2 shots of my work area with all the enamels that I have been working with lately and then the other is behind me is my phot area... Drawers are full of the bundles of glass and then I only have out a bit of each. Keeps me on top of what glass I am using and keeps the mess down as well.smiles Kerry
