Question of the month: What’s on your worktable?

Cyndi Lavin — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 13:15:13 +0000

I’m kind of embarrassed to show you my worktable!! I didn’t clean it off at the end of the year, and it is much more cluttered than I like it to be. I’ve got several jewelry projects in various stages of “doneness” lying around. That heap of color in the front is a scarf that I knitted from some really nice ribbon yarn right after Christmas, but I haven’t gotten around to doing anything with it yet…you can see the knitting needles sticking up out of the clay jar in the back. There’s an amulet pouch hanging from my lamp, piles of albums full of vintage postcards and photos that I use in altered books and collages, and more loose products than I every should have just sitting out. I got sloppy (for me) at the end of the year.

So how about you? What’s in your wallet…I mean, on your worktable? Would you send me a shot? I’ll post it here if you’re brave enough to take the challenge. Tell us a little about how you work, or let the picture speak for itself! Send all entries to cyndi@b5media.com and use the subject line “Jewelry & Beading Worktable”. I’ll post them as they come in, with links you your site or blog. Come on, I showed you my mess…show me yours?
