More Useful Tips from Linda Anquoe, Ingrid Vient and Carolyn Addie

More wonderful tips used by Artists that help keep the mess to a minimum and provide more time for creating!  THANKS!





Linda Anquoe - Fabric and Fiber Artist


I keep all my fabric and fibers in recycled plastic zippered bags that bedding and sheets come in. I sew or knit almost daily when not working on mixed media projects like my metal garden flowers or fused glass.  My table cloths & runners are hung on the large bedding hangers I get from the dry cleaners. I have a three tiered rolling cart I purchased from Ikea that keep my current projects on. I can roll it any where I choose to work since I do not have a designated studio or workspace since downsizing.

Ingrid Vient - Mixed Media Artist

My art room is 10 x 11 and I paint, sew and do mixed media projects. The key for me was to install shelving from about 5 feet up to the ceiling the whole length of one wall. This frees up valuable floor space so I can fit 4 tables in there. I bought a large decorative planter box to corral my stencils which are in notebooks, gelli plates and mark making tools for painting and gelli printing.

Carolyn Addie - Jewelry Artist

 Having been a published mixed media and rubber stamping artist, I moved on to jewelry making.  I put my small jewelry items in stackable shot glasses and keep them corralled on a wooden tray

All my jewelry tools -- cutters, pliers, etc-- I place over the edge of a decorative tin. I can always see the tool I need. 

 Clean up at the end of the day-- or at least put away items I am finished with and organize items to be ready to finish the next day

Organizing beads by color truly helps, I use cigar boxes for silver, copper and gold metal beads.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
