Using my studio
Saturday, June 9, 2007 at 10:38AM 
This morning I have been working in my studio for the first time and I think it'll take some getting used to! Don't get me wrong, it's great and I am enjoying having so much room to work. But until I get everything settled in, know where stuff is and, perhaps most important, have the things I use most frequently to hand, it means a lot of walking around!
I made a couple of small books for friends. I can't show you them now, but in due course, I'll post pictures.
In the grand clearout which preceded the arrival of the builders, I came across this Xyron 500 adhesive "machine" - a bit like an old fashioned mangle. I'd forgotten about it and like so many gadgets, it had been relegated to the back of a cupboard. I remembered it to be a good way of achieving a good even coverage of glue and decided to use it for my books yesterday. Trouble is, I had to fit a refill - and the photograph above shows the empty cartridge which needs to be disposed of.
My conscience won't let me use something which creates such a huge amount of (?unrecyclable?) waste to stick two pieces of paper together. Bring back the Pritt stick!!
Incidentally, have you registered for the WI Carbon Challenge yet?

Wow, that is some studio space Gill. That could accommodate a lorra,lorra mess! Love the downlighters.
Glad you're in and working. It takes a while to get everything sorted just so and close to hand. ENJOY!
