"So come up to the lab and see what's on the slab"

The fabric has arrived! I went with a favorite mercerized cotton broadcloth - M419. Test Fabrics Inc. didn't waste any time getting it to me. They were speedy earlier this year when I asked for a price quote as part of the grant writing process too. I've got my dyeing apron out along with the chosen color palette. All that wonderful potential just waiting to happen...
I admit to being nosy. I love to see people's studios/workshops in any discipline. People adapt their surroundings in order to work efficiently. So, I thought I'd share a glimpse of my evolving studio in turn where all the goodness of the grant will happen. I've added three new things to my studio to put the most used tools and supplies within easy reach. The pegboard was leftover from a tool organizing project in the garage. It fitted next to the laundry sink like it was meant to be! I added a storage cart below for all those yogurt cups, buckets and other plastic containers used for dyeing.

My dye chemicals were previously stuffed in drawers. I knew that I'd need to keep larger quantities of the chemicals on hand for the grant work. I purchased a narrow laundry cart to fit a niche next to two back-to-back wooden dressers (also recently added) topped with an overly large blocking board. The blocking board gives me the surface area that I need to work on larger pieces of fabric. Happily, I found stackable Rubbermaid containers that fitted perfectly into the cart.
