Tidying up

The tidying up of my garage-studio continues as I'm determined to divest myself of stuff I don't use; and make the garage-studio space a bit more creative friendly. A couple of photos of the rearranging follow.

I'm also determined this year to use some bits that are sitting on the worktable to enable me to keep the clutter down. This means using offcuts as soon as I can - this includes using the spirals of metal left over from the Tree of Life bowls and bits I salvaged as part of the silver-plated tray cutting episode I did quite some tome ago. I was able to cut 'tiny pages' out go the edge of one of the spirals to make some tiny book jewellery and other bits to make some earrings and pendants.

Because I ran out of time the bits need to be ground, polished and assembled - a job for the weekend.
