  • I have started to try and sort, tidy and declutter my craft room many times now and a couple of weeks ago, I finally started. Now I have some swing space I can get into the Art Cupboard and start deciding what to keep and what to let go! I think I might have too many hobbies! It's time to declutter the craft room!

    I had a massive craft "stuff" declutter earlier this year. I packed up my entire craft room into moving boxes (we're not moving, I just wanted to decorate and get new furniture). Lets just say the ladies at the age concern charity shop near me, get VERY excited when they see me. One day I will finish decorating that room and I will buy new furniture. one day.

    Watching this video seemed very familiar... I recently sorted out my tiny workroom after I gave up making junk journals to sell (although I still make them for pleasure/gifts). I took the opportunity to make space for my bead jewellery making stuff which was languishing in the garage...
    I too have kept the tins from my various pencil sets. The reason was, I saw a RUclips video that showed me how to make a watercolour palette filled with half pans from an old pencil tin. I'll get around to it one day😄

I do that too when I get favorites and i worry I'll never find them again. Sometimes i won't use things until I've secured a back up. 😅 I need to stop doing this!🥴 I love how excited you are as you go through everything and find old favorites!😊

      @@ArtJourneyUK it can be for either or both but it depends on the training one chooses to undergo (there are slightly different postgraduate routes) as working with children requires specific training. I am just at the very beginning of my journey, though! Sandplay can be effective for adults too! As an art form, it’s almost like you are directing a miniature play, or creating a tiny installation. On my course we study different therapy modalities using the arts, so not just therapy using drawing and painting (so it’s integrative both in terms of the therapies studied and the art forms used). I have watched a couple of your videos before (particularly enjoyed your investigative pencils one, haha) and never realised you had a background in psychology! Congrats!
