SFM take up space

Hey there!

I completely understand your desire to set up a dedicated area for your art supplies and projects, even when it feels like your home is bursting at the seams. Starting out, it's rare for anyone to have an entire room or separate space solely for their creative endeavors. But don't worry, claiming a spot, no matter how small, can make a big difference.

When I began my artistic journey, I was fortunate enough to have a small drafting table that I set up in my home office. It served as my creative haven, allowing me to work on my projects after a long day as a teacher. Some people find solace in a small table tucked away in a corner or even a section of an existing table that no one else uses. This designated area becomes your own little sanctuary, where you can leave your "work in progress" and keep your essential paints and tools readily accessible.

By having this personal space, you're not only organizing your supplies but also affirming to yourself and others that you are an artist deserving of respect and creative time. It doesn't matter how the space looks; what matters is that you have a space. Let it be your own, where you can unleash your creativity without constraints.

For instance, my own "studio" is situated downstairs in a cold, unfinished part of the house. Sure, it would be nice to have proper walls instead of exposed fiberglass insulation, but you know what? I adore my space. Shelves, drawers, and a trusty trolley hold all my supplies within reach. And the best part? It's exclusively mine; I don't have to share it with anyone else. It's my creative sanctuary.

So, go ahead and claim a spot, carve out an area, create your space. Let it be yours. Repeat after me, "It is safe for me to take up space and put out my art supplies." You absolutely deserve it. Embrace your creativity and make your mark!

Wishing you all the inspiration and success in your artistic endeavors. You've got this!
