Tip of the Month

This month's tip comes from Patriks Studio and I think it is a simply simple and brilliant idea!

Patrik says that organizing your workbench can be a daunting task, especially when the project uses a lot of different gemstones. Instead of using triangular bead trays, he uses a plastic or porcelain artist's palette. Its compact design allows for easy transporting around your bench, plus the added bonus of keeping the gemstones organized.

Organizing your parts on an artist's palette by Patriks Studio 

I always have small, multiple parts (mostly rivets, mini screws, nuts) hanging around my workbench waiting to be used and most of you probably have tubes of beads and needles as you work on your project – well, isn’t this a great idea to keep them all corralled in one area?

Can’t wait to try this in my own studio.

Now go bead something – or go organize something.
