Why my studio is always messy.....

Because I have a lot of toys! ;-)
Crayons!
No one should ever outgrow playing with crayons!
I didn't! ;)

Acrylic paints.
Mostly I use watercolors.
But looking at this grunged-up palette of acrylics
makes me want to pull them out of my
cupboard again and slap them onto some canvas.

Colored pencils!
Can't do without them!
They're the perfect traveling companions.

Pastels.
These are simple pan pastels that I use only
once in awhile.
I also have a box of oil pastels too.
Quite the messy medium for sure!

Of course: erasers!
I probably use these the MOST of anything
else in my studio.
;-)
Nobody's perfeckt.

It's hard to keep a "neat" studio especially if one has lots of projects going on!

My first thought to "why my studio is always messy..." was "because it's always in use!" right? You go girl!
