Storage for your crafting tools and materials

Are you looking for ways to store your crafting tools and material?  Instead of finding them at craft stores, maybe you should check out what you already have in your kitchen.  Are there any condiments caddies that you can make use of if you no longer need them in your kitchen?

As I used lots of bead in my jewellery making hobby I use a rotating spice rack that comes with bottles to store my beads and head pins.  I like it that the bottle is clear so that I can see what is stored in it.  It is neat and does not take up too much space on my working table.



Here are some examples I found online that you can consider using.

This is a coffee storage carousel for K-Cup Pods to consider using if you already have bottles like the ones above for spice, large enough to slot them in.  There are also models available that can rotate.



This is meant for storing what you need for making coffee.  I use knitting needles and rods to roll my wires, so, I could use the space for storing cups to keep them.  I will have to put a container inside the slot to hold them neatly together.



I think it is good to be able to see what you use in your projects.  You would not want to be caught in a bout of inspiration to discover that you are short of the material you need to complete your work.

Here is another see through example that I like.  Since there is a cover, I will be able to carry it around with me.  I like it that the space meant for storing ice can be used to hold my tools.  The five containers are removable.  So, if I buy more than a unit, I should be able to interchange containers of beads that I need for my current project.

Marbled Veils to Marvel About

From My InBox:

How Superb are These ...?                                           

To have the skill level to carve it in marble. This sculpture below, " The veiled virgin" is one of the most impressive I have ever seen in my life, notice the effect of transparency, from the Italian artist Giovanni Strazza of the nineteenth century.   Think of the epic difficulty of modeling a veil on a face of a material that is among the toughest on the planet, marble (mineral hardness 3 - Friedrich Mohs scale ). Another problem is that marble has nothing added. It is a sculpture made by subtracting 100 %.   It's already humiliated? Wait until you discover that it is not only this. There are large sculptures that have beautiful marble veils: Think of the level of difficulty to carve without breaking it: This is a monument to the father of Prince Raimondo Sangro Antonio (1685-1757) The Italian name of the monument Disinganno is often translated as " disappointment ", but not in the conventional sense of it, and Church Slavonic - "Freedom of the spell." "Freedom of the spell " (after 1757 ) of Franschesko Kvirolo and is the most famous of his works, the ability to make this netting. All made of a single piece of marble and pumice, Kvirolo was the only Neapolitan master who accepted the challenge. Other great sculptors wouldnt, believing that the network would break into pieces. Amazing master sculptors for centuries the art of precise cutting of the stone. phil How about that texture of skin, Lorenzo Berdini, which depicts the abduction of Persephone? Look finger pressure on the skin. The sculptor was only 23 years old when he made it in 1621. Look at the detail:

I do walk the talk.

You can't say I am wasting my time on Pinterest.

I found an instruction on crafting a leather bracelet and managed to create one out of a punctured bicycle tube I found in my shop.

I did say that it could be an inspiring and motivating site to vist.

Sculpture you can mess up

Check out artist from China, Li HongBo.  

He is the only sculptor I know who wouldn't mind seeing his work messed up till it is looking freaky.  Mess up a sculpture?  Why do that?  I guess it must have given him a big thrill to watch his work "deformed" and then put back to its original shape without a hitch.      

Sounds amazing, right?  Now, how is that possible?  It all has to do with the creative imagination of transforming traditional Chinese toys, the way only Li has envisioned it.
