Here's my desk for papercutting. It hasn't changed much yet. I'd like to get another surface to work on that looks better. Functionally, this is fine though. I like having the window above my desk.

Redecorating Snippyville - Pysanky
What I want for my studio space, Snippyville, is to have relatively tidy spaces dedicated to my main crafting activities. I want to be able to have my papercutting supplies always available. If I have to clean it off to do something else, it is likely that I will end up with supplies of all sorts spilling off the desk and onto piles on the floor.

I have created a separate space for my pysanki (egg decorating) supplies. Above it, I have a space to keep my light box for taking photos of my work. Not beautiful....yet.... but hopefully functional.
I have carved out other work spaces in the room that are hidden by curtains. As I get a bit more done on them I'll post photos.

Redecorating Snippyville - Walking Sticks
Snippyville, my studio, has always woefully been a ragtag, yet beloved, workspace. During my 2 month recovery from foot surgery, I spent a bit of time down there trying to figure out how to fix it up. It is still in flux, but there are a lot of changes in the works.
I have had my father's and grandfather's walking sticks for 25 years. I also have a couple of my own. They have never been displayed, though I have always wanted to show them off. Yesterday, I decided to hang them up. Something seems to still be lacking, but I like the idea.
Here is my Dad's walking stick. It was made for him by a friend of the family. Daddy was an outdoorsman, so the stick is woodburned with funny images of outdoors adventures.
The smallest stick is PaPa's walking stick. He was a little man of Irish descent. I always think of his walking stick as a leprechaun's shillelagh.
The last two are mine. They are both unfinished. I need to stain the one on the right and the one in the middle on the left needs a little more flouish.
Anyway, this is the first look of my "new" space.
