...and one more thing that I do to facilitate and maintain my ability to get inspired and make work...ORGANIZATION. Sometimes this is a part of my weekend routine, usually it is something I stop to do throughout the week. I cannot express enough how much I love to organize, I love to organization as much as I love to make art. Seriously. Please understand...I make a complete and utter MESS on a daily basis...getting dressed, picking out accessories, when I come home from work and change into my comfy clothes and certainly when I make my art...it's CHAOS.

Even putting my jewelry is part of my routine...and it takes time to stop and put all the pieces from the week back but I do enjoy this part of the process. One thing for me is that I like to begin my creative time in an organized space, I am talking color-coordination and labeling and clear surfaces. I am always waging an internal battle between my love for 'displaying' all of my art materials and tools an my equal love for everything being put away and labeled. Sure, I mess it all up anyway when I work on an art project...but putting it back in order is also part of my routine and I just work better that way.
