    For extra inking handles, I use old sewing thread spools; I hot glue the scratchy velcro onto the spool, then attach the inking pad to that. It works like a dream, and is upcycling what I already have.

You were so brave to set aside your other container for the blending brushes in favor of the glasses. It looks great and is so functional. A lesson I need to learn.

I enjoyed seeing how each area is taking shape and becoming so organized for you. Also, as you use things, you’ll see what really works for you and what doesn’t. Like your Rolodex file.

    Hello Barbra, I just wanted to say I enjoyed watching your vlog and it gave me ideas for my crafting space, I got myself one of theos rolodex stands and didn't want to use the plastic sheets that the business cards go into, However I didn't through them away I found a very good use for them, I use them to help my die cuts fall from the die, I was so happy with the way it worked I needed to share it with you, the way I use them is to put the plastic sheet on the bottom plate the the card that I want to cut out on top of the sheet, then the die on top and then put the plate that goes on top and run it through my die cutting machine, it makes the card fall off the die so easily with most of the little bits, you may have to put an extra shim in between the plates but I didn't need to. you can use the sheets more than once as well so they last for a good few die cuts projects, I hope You give it a go and that they work for you too, Take care and stay safe x

    Hi Barbara - I've always been so impressed with how organized your videos and presentations are, and now your craft room. I've also struggled with the dauber handle and sponge thing, but you've inspired me to try something new- using the business card sleeve to store the sponge in for the color shown on the Rolodex card. If you use one Rolodex card for both ink and oxide, you could sew a vertical line down the sleeve to make two compartments per sleeve; one for each ink and oxide. I'm going to try it. It will save buying more wooden handles and having to label them all.
    At the beginning of each new project you can take out the number of handles you need to correspond with the number of colors you will be using, stick the sponges on for the duration of the project then put them all away when the project is finished. Hope this makes sense. I think it's going to work well for me and I would never have thought of it without yours (and by extension, Louise's) help! Huge thanks.

    • @49dragonflies
      @49dragonflies  ปีที่แล้ว

I have three of them and labeled them all, and have bought refill dabbers to replace them as needed. I recently purchased blending brush storage from Stampin’Up. Each one holds 9 brushes. I believe you have Stampin’Up demonstrators in Germany so you might be interested in checking that option out. Thanks for sharing your lovely studio. ❤your videos.

    I built a spinning tower to house my Ranger inks. There’s room for 40 and a spot for the round dauber pads which I adhere with Velcro. I’ll post a link to the video on TH-cam that I followed. Also, now that you have a Rolodex, you can start making MemoryDex Cards! I bet a few hundred of us (at least) would be happy to send you one of our creations to build up your Spinner. 😘

    Hello dear Barbara! I don't have a craft room (still trying to craft in my living room), but I love your organizing vlogs and mostly how beautiful, organized, and inspiring your craft room looks! 🤗🤗🤗 (I also love the view from your window!) I have an idea for your rolodex since I saw its small pockets. Since you don't have a wooden handle for all your round sponges, maybe you could store your round sponges into the rolodex pockets! I believe they must fit in them. I don't know if this is a good idea, but you can try it and see how it works. 🙄🙄🙄 Sweet greetings from Greece, Elena. ❤🩷❤

It's a struggle to keep so much close at hand, but if it's not within arm's reach, chances are I'm not going to go get up and get it!!!! i was also inspired by Louise's swatch videos and created mine on index cards, used a whale-tale die to cut tabs and I keep them all in a recipe box.

    Our studios are always in flux as we develop new organizational strategies and change our interests with new products always being added. I love to utilize unique things like the wooden piece from Luise and the idea about chess pieces for daubers. I have also used wooden spools from thread and a Velcro dot. My studio is filled with nonart items that I have repurposed to fit my needs. Great video. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦

    I put my foam in a small plastic bag and use my ATG gun to stick the bag on the back of the ink pad. The pads sit in their space just fine. As far as the Rolodex goes, you can make one with 2 wooden dowels in the center of a rectangle box. Plenty of space on each side. I believe there are videos for those on TH-cam

    I had a fun idea for your Rolodex: Fill it out with techniques for journaling. Have a tab for media, another for dies...fill in with 'stencil' or 'ink blend' or 'flowers' or whatever and you could spin it to get the prompts for your projects. Whichever 4 or 5 you choose is what you do that day.

    I have a tip for your storage...for the round sponge you put on the handle, you can take them off and put them on the underside of the distress pad with a velcro bit. That's how I store my round blending sponge, and it keeps them out of the way. Give it a try.

    The Crawdad book is excellent! You’ll love it! There’s also double surge protectors and surge protector boxes to hide them as well as chord covers.

    Looks very nice Barbara. The trays are nice. Might get them myself. I’m glad you put the brushes in the glasses. Big improvement. You’ll always be changing something. That’s just another part of junk journaling.🤣

    Hi Barbara👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 I wanted to let you know I have read the book where the crawdads sing and I’ve seen the movie. It is a wonderful book. I also enjoy watching videos where people are showing their storage for their craft supplies to see if there is a better way of storing them, then what Ive done here in my craftroom. Have a wonderful even. I’m getting ready for the gym and a workout. Love you.

    I loved that book, hopefully you will too! I always read books first and then watch the movie. They did a good job on the movie for that book.

    This is what works for me. I keep my full inventory of inks and daubers in my storage area...and then only bring the inspired colors to my desk. If I try to build a wall of inkpads it depresses my creativity. Perhaps only put your swatches on your desk since it is in the middle of your space now? And the rest behind you. This way the creativity flows from and into your whole room? Love seeing what you come up with.

    I really enjoyed this blog. I have my distress oxides in the tins but I am more of a visual person so I like the idea of the ink storage - which I do use for my other inks.

    Re: daubers. My (smaller) collection is in the same sized grid: 3 across like your ink trays. The dauber container (acrylic lipstick organizer from a dollar store) is 3x3. I put the same color dauber in the corresponding slot to the ink so I can find them by sight. Top left ink uses top left dauber. 3 trays of inks, 1 dauber holder. You could just go on like that - inks, daubers, inks, daubers - to cover your entire collection.

    Wow, that is alot of organization! I glue 2 wine corks together, side by side, staple a round cosmetic dense sponge folded over the top (pack of 12 at dollar store are very cheap) and voila: I have an edger or blender. Art supplies are not affordable at Michael's here in Canada....:(. Nice that you have generous donations to support your business!! Love the block of wood idea ... organic and original, I like that.🙂

Also, I love the look of your craft room ...it is so inspiring . The little journals look wonderful on the plexiglass shelf...glad this Idea worked well for you. 👍❤ Hugs from MN.

    I like your way of organizing your accessories. At the moment I don't have enough space to put everything so clearly. i found a great solution for my blending tools. there are elongated stands in which 10 tools can be placed and i can see my colors and don't have to search for them. Thanks for your great video, because I think the stand for the ink pads is great. I'll order those as soon as I have more space.

    You could use dividers on the rolodex for dividing, ink,sprays glaze etc.or by color reds, yellows,blues, glue a tab that color ( blue red etc)to each divider
