Organizer Art

Some time during Dec. and after the first of the year, I panicked!  OMG I thought!  I don't have enough art projects to keep me entertained like I like to be entertained!  The after the first of the new year, all these new ideas, groups, projects started up on the net.  I am usually not impetuous, but after having a so called "drought" of projects, I jumped in to several groups and projects.  I was and am happy.  But, now, six weeks into the year, I have found some confusion happening in my retired mind... meaning since I don't have to I don't function on as on top of things level as I used to do when I worked.  I used to be good at multi tasking but am getting rather out of the habit... more layed back sort of thing.  The confusion, however bothered me.  So, one day, I thought about the task bins I used to have at work... a bin for each task.  And suddenly I had a plan.

I recycled some cardboard boxes, cutting out one long strip which would be the back, bottom and front of my bins.  Then I cut some angled pieces to make the dividers and ends of the bins.

I dug around in my paper stashes and decided to use a roll of wallpaper to cover the card board parts.

Then, using my glue gun, I glued the dividers to the base of the organizer.

And to reinforce the "seams" I used tape and this gave it a nice finished look too.  And I coved all edges with the tape so the corrigation of the card board didn't show.

And here is the result!  Six project bins where I can keep my different projects and ephemera for those projects from getting lost in my "creative chaos" area.  Now, I can just grab which ever one I want and go to work on it.  I am loving this.  See, the table it is setting on?  Well, before the organizer, you would not have been able to see it, lol.

And, right above the bin is my "vision boards."  Yep, I have this big one and the two little ones by the door.

One of my visions for this year is to get the inside of my house painted!  And live well in a stylish and beautiful life.  Having an organizer helps with that!
