Not that I want to make excuses or anything, but I think it's very hard for a mixed-media artist to have an organized and tidy studio. First, there are so many different categories of tools and supplies...
If it's Tuesday it must be tea time, and this week I'm showing a mixed-media collage of teacups. My tea room. I inherited (my cousins might say "commandeered") a set of mis-matched teacups...
